1disc movie
2nd disc special features.
3rd disc digital copy

Not suspecting what'd you got there..but i dont see any 3 Disc ED The Dark Knight BD bro..the package is still around for purchase? Mind posting link or something. I googled, resulted nothing..

i had no idea..
just buy from amazon.com

That's alright, i'd just wondered how that ended up w 3 disc edition. I give up searching.

Kung Fu Hustle Now @ USD 9.49

TDK used to be 3 discs including digital copy. My last TDK purchase 2 months ago only 2 discs. Thats because the code only valid until last year

Perfect, this is something i wanted to know, not just a short reply. Thanks for the perfect info xbox..

Actually, I'm not just talking about the SPR issue only. I just want to talk about the replacenment and refund issue. I know Amazon do have very good customer service. I'm afraid there will be people abusing it. If you do have a genuie case of defective or lost shipment, you can complain to them about it and get your replacenment or refund. If there is a lot abusing, They won't blacklist these abuser. They will blacklist the country these abuser in. No more online shopping for blu ray. These will affect good buyers like us. There are a lot of online store who sell blu ray in the US, Not many willing to deal with us, Malaysian. These show how good malaysian trust are.

I think I know why Tower.com n Inet vdo willing to sell to you if you have them ship to a US address. To them, if you are staying in Msia, why would you want your shipment send to a US address. Unless, you are a malaysia staying in the US. That is the reason I could think off.

I hope no one here is offended by what I have said. I just don't want see something bad happen to true blu ray customer like us. Peace.

Hmmm... didn't know about digital copy will expire after a certain period (duh...), I thought can use as and when you like it; as long it's in your possession. But then again, I guess it's a nice coaster after all... .

BTW, after re-checking my own TDK on the shelf... it is a 3-disc version and came with a slipcase

I become addicted with digi copy since bought iphone

I read it somewhere it has expiry date as incentive for us to buy earlier. After all, in itunes store every digi copy is worth $15 IIANM. So you can redeem it first before making it as a coaster. Other option is everybody can donate me the disc and the coupon to me

Expiry date you can check in the fine print on the digi copy redemption code paper in the case. In some amazon website also you can see for example check hulk 2 item website and expand special feature section.

As for TDK, you can try to redeem it now since i redeem mine after it expired but the code still works. Maybe it still can

ok, i get what you mean. it's just that watching movies on the small iphone screen (as compared to my tv screen); i won't enjoy as much unless i'm away somewhere... but to each their own i guess. anyway, i must've no less than 10 digital copies lying somewhere on my shelf but most of 'em already expired dah...

I have redeem around 5 already but until now havent finish single movie watching through iphone. Watching in blu ray ruin your experience with other media but as i said since its free, just use it . Then use it as coaster

Excellent...I guess its not there anymore...Too bad..

Maybe watching on puny iphone screen the quality still acceptable. I tried on iPad, fuuyoh like watching youtube video.

I saw SPR(Sapphire Edition) at bluray.com, is this the corrected version?

Is the lips syn problem solved?

Reportedly they are working on to fix the discs for retail, and is expected to announce resell plan soon, should be anytime this month i guess.
