John Wick movies 1-4 and Top Gun Maverick available on disc to digital for $2+ tax each

$2.00
+63 Deal Score
34,880 Views
This is more or less for informational purposes and those who don't want 4K, but hopefully may help out a few.
I scanned John Wick 1-4 UPC's and got all in HDX for $8 and tax.
Top Gun: Maverick is also available for $2 + tax for the transfer.
The quality is fine for me and thought it was a decent deal. Figured anyone who wants to go through this process can add it to their fandango/vudu library.

Renter beware is more like it. If it's not physical media you're only "purchasing" access to it for as long as "they allow it". It's ridiculous how people like you LEGITIMATELY give them your hard earned money and they treat you like that. I purchase physical media or it's Capt Jack Sparrow time.

I've been leaning more into physical media and digital storage. Currently running a 200Tb PLEX server because I'm sick of having to fight with them over a $2 movie.

Can someone PM me the where to find these recent drops? Glad to still see the vudu deals like this

A few of the major studios do not take part in D2D via VUDU. Here is a handy tool to a site that tracks a good percentage of them. It has lots of pop up ads, but they seem to be lessened if you are using a VPN. https://dvdupc.com/history

If you get into building a VUdU library just know that a few things may not cross populate even if you link your streaming library between services. TV series are the worst at that.

Look for VUDU gift card sales. Often listed here on SD.

Just today my girl bought 60 Blu-rays for $15 bucks at a yard sale! 36 I didn't own and 24 I'll use for trade! My movie room looks like a blockbuster and I love it.

Could be totally off base here, but I've been getting the vibe that they might be phasing out D2D before too long, so get em while you can.

So that's why I was able to add a few titles I didn't realize were on there recently. Was so confused because I was sure I'd have got them when I converted my collection over. Well damn, now I've got some homework to do.

As a person with a collectors (ie hoarder) mentality, I'm all about physical media. And I have quite a few discs. But, I was just reading an article about how BluRay discs (on average) can have a lifespan of 10-20 years. 4K UHD discs may be as low as 10-12. I'm not sure why, but it has to do with the amount of information crammed into the same space as BluRay and DVD as well as the chemical "plastics"
Used.
I keep all of mine in the original cases, in a dark area, and fairly well climate controlled. And while I have not yet had disc rot per say....I have opened cases and found "cloudiness" on discs that had never been used. And, while they did play..they paused and skipped and a few froze.
I guess really the best option is to buy discs, back then up using a ripper and play off the backup and hope that and the disc don't go bad at the same time.

I was really surprised by the expected longevity of the different formats. I thought they would be about the same as DVDs.

4K Disc-10-12 years
BLURAY 10-25 YEARS
DvD-25-100 years.

If they were phasing it out, Vudu and the studio's wouldn't be adding titles. It certainly could go away at any moment, but I haven't seen any signs of that.

When they put A History Of Violence on VHS they said the same thing. Forewarned is forearmed all I ever advocated for was to inform people you're not buying anything other than access and that the company can LITERALLY cut off that access whenever they want.

Was broken for me too for a couple of months, I just tried it through this link and it worked. Worth another try

BUYER BEWARE!
I have had about 400 movies that I've purchased via disc to digital get removed from my account over the last 10 years. VUDU is not a reputable merchant. I constantly have to fight with the rude customer service reps about this. I've gotten about 100 of them back via forwarding them receipts for my purchases. this seems to be a standard practice for them now that Fandango has purchased the company and farked it up
How did you notice them missing? I have hundreds on Vudu and don't know if I'd be able to tell if some went missing.

Have gone to watch them and been like ugh...WTF?! I have gone to taking pictures of my collection and you can see the number of films drop in some of the vudu apps. Like when I went to watch tales from the hood 1& 2 on Halloween, and they were gone. I found the receipt and it took till December 2nd to fight with them to get them readded

4K Disc-10-12 years
BLURAY 10-25 YEARS
DvD-25-100 years.

This is an interesting thread. I moved all mine from cases to folders (because the cases were out of control when it comes to space), but these are dvd's and outdated. But it is disturbing knowing at any moment the digital can disappear. It's probably stated in contractual agreement and nobody expects a business to last forever for it to be pasted down generation to generation. Generations faze out and businesses collect again for all this entertainment.

There's a Google Chrome browser extension called 'Vudu Catalog' which compiles a detailed list (as a .csv file) of all your purchases as well as useful info like the quality (HDX or 4K), or if it's MA:

https://chromewebstore.google.com...mgmjfkdopc

You just log into your Vudu acct, go to the 'My Movies' page, and click the blue button (you might need check your extension settings if you don't see it). Then you open/import the .csv file with Excel and make it nice and pretty. Big Grin It supposedly works for Google/Youtube and MoviesAnywhere too, but I haven't tried.

The fields:
Movie, Description, Genre, Runtime (Minutes), Release Year, Release Date, Rating, Studio, Language, Closed Caption, Own (HDX/UHD), My Rating, Community Rating, Rotten Tomatoes Rating, Purchase Date, UV, MA, Content ID

Quote from peeps :
The JWs have been there, but Top Gun: Maverick was part of a recent drop. I bought the 4K for a few dollars more because it's worth the upgrade. A few more notable ones that were added last month: Spider-man 3: No Way Home, Spider-man: Across the Spiderverse, Baby Driver, Bullet Train, Fury, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Equalizer 1 & 2, Zombieland: Double Tap, Bloodshot, Venom 1 & 2, Sicario 2, Sausage Party, Dark Tower, Brightburn, The Woman King, Passengers, 65, Oldboy (2013), Smallfoot, The Meg.

I should add that most new additions were Sony, so link your MA account to Sony Rewards and get a free movie for every 5 conversions. Morbius was also on the list if anyone cares. It's Morbin' Time!
If you upgrade, aren't you better off purchasing the 4k version directly on Vudu as 4k upgrades, unless they're on sale, aren't discounted to my knowledge? Even then, you're spending $2 for the HDX and then rebuying it at whatever the price is on Vudu for the 4K version. Once in a while Vudu will upgrade something for free nowadays but it's not on a lot of things.
