I'm pretty sure that Ultraviolet isn't meant to be an effective digital distribution system but rahter something they can point to when dealing with governments/courts to show that they are totally making the product available online, so they totally need ridiculous statuatory damages and harsher laws. That or it was designed by someone who's never made an online transaction and probably doesn't believe in QA.

I don't think the former is true.

Makes me wonder how much better the implementation is with Disney and its version of the same thing.

I certainly like the idea of Ultaviolet (a system that lets me stream content I bought on disc).

Of course in reality its easiler for me to just rip discs I own instead. Though my current bandwidth limits makes that not very useful when I'm away from home.

Probably designed by suits with no clue of usability, despite protestations of other people in the team.

See CurrentC for an equally terrible implementation of something that should be easy.

Aw yea, passed university. Sooo done with that phase of my life.

They know why it's rampant, they just prefer to spend the money that could be used improving delivery methods on suing people instead. Spite is more fun for them.

Spite is the only solution.

This method worked out so well for the music industry.

Speaking of the music industry, the few time I got Blu-rays with iTunes digital copies they were great. Just open iTunes, put the code in and you're done.

Well I just spent $110 on us psn grabbing gtav infamous and evil within, and now wolf new order is $35us shipped on amazon...so tempting but I think I've overspent already

This storm damage is looking pretty nuts :S Somehow the gap managed to escape the storm this time but all the buses/ trains to the city seem to be down. I hope you guys can get to work okay. My Italian class was cancelled so back to bed I go.



Congrats

I just got confirmation that I can graduate too! Hi five~

I got to work, and power is still down for my building and half of the campus for that matter. I have come home to work.

 

[senahorse]

And movie studios wonder why piracy is so rampant.

The following picture never gets old, I watched a blu-ray the other day and had this expereince. Now if only there was a streaming service that had everything available

Thanks but I have no gaming PC at this point so it's pretty much ps4 plus portables for me.

Amazing.

Don't you hate it when that happens, there are a few movies on netflix that spoil the movie with the picture associated with it.

edit: which season is that?, I am watching TNG for the first time, and have watched every season (bar the last), of course I didn't notice anything though.

[bodyboarder]

I would very much like smash to break the release date today. Fuck Saturday releases.

Ha that one is classic, good thing I saw the movie before I saw the cover.

Is that the original cover/poster? Holy shit either way.

I think that was on the VHS cover, but I might be wrong.

Just tried to buy X-COM Enemy Within off Amazon and got this email:

Does anyone know if this is a new policy?

 

[senahorse]

Did you use a US address?

I know most of you pinball fans prefer The Pinball Arcade, but Humble Bundle has cheap bundles of Pinball FX 2 tables today. For $6 you get some fun looking stuff. I bit because it had a Deadpool table.

 

[Shaneus]

Hey Gaz. Hey Clive. Hey other retronauts! Amiga Forever and C64 Forever bundle for $9.95. Woo!

I'm gonna get that too, because I think a bunch of those licensed ones didn't appear in original sales.

 

[TheBear]

I have a bullshit US address I use for PSN cards. Just wondering if it is going to affect that as well

 

[Deeku]

You need to use the US address for all digital purchases like that.

Sorry I did use the US address. It picked up that I used an aussie credit card with a US address and thus cancelled the order

I jumped on it for $1. I wanted to try the other Star Wars tables.

Congrats Shan!

Yup. I fucking hate all that bullshit red tape. Put it elsewhere. I want to watch a fucking movie already.

 

[senahorse]

That's odd, I know some banks do use the address for verification purposes, try another card if you have one.

Weird, I buy from amazon like that every time, never had issues.

Make sure the US address is set as the default checkout address.

Post uni isn't what it's cracked up to be lol

Tho having money is kinda nice

Tried it again and got another cancelIation. Buying PSN cards still works though using the same address and credit card.

EDIT: Tried both my Visa and Mastercard. No dice.

Any chance one of you guys could try it out yourselves? Happy to pay for the game if it ends up working for you.

2K led the way in forcing GreenManGaming to have regional prices for us, so I wouldn't be shocked if they were putting pressure on Amazon to do the same.

Managed to get one put aside closer to home. My nearest jb wouldn't hold one over the phone for me, jerks!
