Decent chance the digital code is expired.

EDIT: If expired through Vudu, try MA. Some reports online of success that way

Sony has given no indication of invalidating their old/expired codes unlike Warner Bros. so you'll actually have a decent chance of getting a working code.

Multiple reports of these codes being expired. Some have reported success trying through MA rather than Vudu. Most of the cases mention "from Amazon," so it may be a retailer thing

I went ahead and got this because I realized the only version of this movie I ever saw was when I was a kid and it was "edited for network television". I would like to see the full movie.

Sorry you're incorrect on this one. The code still works, even if the paper the code is printed on has an expiration date that has already passed. Sony never expired these codes. Just enter it here and redeem: https://redeem.sonypictures.com

I've dug up codes that "expired" 7 years ago and they still redeem as long as the redemption website is still active.

I got a copy that has no indication of there being a digital code (doesn't match cover of Amazon listing). Has anyone else who gotten this copy opened it / can you confirm there's no digital code?
