Beautiful set, oh, and how to get your digital copies
This review is about the set, not the movies. You either like Harry Potter or you don't. I assume that only the former is looking at this set.
Ok, THIS is how a boxed set should be. I've read some horror stories about other sets being mis-matched discs from previous releases (the X-Men collections) and I've seen the beauty that is The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition boxed set (another thing of beauty.) A truly cohesive production with original artwork on every disc. (When was it decided that Blu-ray discs didn't need artwork?)
In truth, I have only just opened the set and have not even inserted one disc into my player. But I wanted to post something now to get one piece of info out there... How to get your digital copy!
I'd read reviews about the codes being expired, so didn't have any expectations. Having bought the set at less than half price on Black Friday, I didn't care. But, since the code was in my hand, I figured why not try.
The original provider of these codes was Flixster. They have been out of the Ultraviolet business for about a year now. Vudu filled their spot. A very good change, since the Vudu interface on all my hardware blows away what Flixster used to have. So I went to Vudu.com, but no love there. Received a message that the code had expired. Had to try. Then I did a little digging on the web and someone suggested going straight to Ultraviolet's web site, myuv.com. At first it didn't look promising, until I noticed down in the lowest left corner of the screen that there was a link to "Redeem Code." I entered my code, the screen took a moment, then said I'd have to go to Vudu to complete my registration of my code. I thought it was just sending my to Vudu's main screen and that it hadn't worked. No, it directed me to a confirmation screen that the movies had been added to my collection. I've since signed back into my account, and there they are.
