This is not a Gruv issue, this is a studio choice. I've owned the Bond movies for almost 10 years in Vudu and they have never transferred because they are not MA because of MGM/Amazon owning them.
It pains me to say this, but movies on BF have been slim at best lately. Just like almost everything else lately. I will be watching and waiting, but I expect disappointment yet again.

Beware Gruv: The Bond movies do NOT allow a selection like MA or iTunes. Most "digital copies" with discs allow you to choose fandango or iTunes if they are not MA.

I believe this will be around the average Black Friday pricing. Studios just don't have the excess inventory levels they used to carry for new releases.
Sad but true.

I've been wanting Amadeus in 4K and for a few cents more than Amazon has this one movie, I was able to get two from GRUV: Amadeus and Blazing Saddles. $12 each is a pretty good deal, IMO.

Agreed. The few weeks leading up to BF seem to fare better with regards to sales.
Anyone know if the digital copies for 007 are still valid?
Specifically looking at Casino Royale & Skyfall.
Just looked at Skyfall and the note there is "Includes Limited Time Digital Movie Offer. MUST ENTER REDEMPTION CODE BY 3/31/2022 TO REDEEM DIGITAL MOVIE OFFER.". Ditto for Casino Royale.
So nope - wouldn't bet on it. Assume it won't work.
It's too bad because the holy trio of UHD + Bluray + digital solves all my needs:
Convenience / kid (scratch) proof = digital
Legacy for PS3 = Bluray
UHD is for living room when I get my new telly and want to see the best possible quality.
My 2p
I've seen the same scenario many times for similar trio packages - sometimes you don't even get to find out until you try to redeem the digital code as to whether it's still valid. Not exactly consumer friendly - if you're going to try to convince me to take advantage of a deal, then give me confidence that what I'm buying will work - to give Gruv credit here though -- at least in the Gruv case it's calling it out that any digital code WILL NOT WORK.

That's what I saw, as well! Not worth the chance.
I'm the same way - 4K for the living room OLED and sound system, blu-ray to lend out, and digital to watch out in the garage when I'm working.
At least it's not WB, where their digital codes are guaranteed to be invalid if the movie is more than 2 months old lol
