    thx for the link.

    It seems clear that the decision makers at Disney Studios are exploring to see if they can make their way without joining DECE. They have business reason to attempt to, but I do think time will run out and they will need to become official DECE members. Them being the sole domestic studio who has not done so is going to start to erode their brand and become increasingly difficult to explain to their consumers.

    I personally believe it will occur this year. Q4 to be exact.

    There may be a larger volume (read install base) of Android devices but you also need to look as the sames revenue in relation to those devices. iTunes Movie (and music and apps) sales are DRASTICALLY higher Vs. Google / Android store in terms of total revenue and obviously per device, given smaller install base.

    Apple people spend WAY more on software than do Droid people. But then the Hardware is WAY more expensive as well so they likely have more disposable income.

    Re: Plans for "Disney Movies Anywhere" to link to Vudu?

    If anyone knew about Disney's first attempt to making a cloud service it was "Disney Movies Online" it closed within a year. They been talking about Keychest for years and now we are getting a glimpse at it in the form of Disney Movies Anywhere. It's just too soon for me to review it. It is crazy that right now it links to iTunes purchases, we already have iCloud so what is the point right? The only good thing right now is getting points for rewards by purchasing through the app. The Cat from Outter Space HD is $17.99 on iTunes while $14.99 on Vudu. Cheaper and can stream on other devices in HD for the TV. I love Vudu, they got me started on Disc to Digital and I would decently love them more if they were to link to Disney's cloud. I can barely get Vudu's ios app to work all so I think they need completely rework it, however if I can stream or download my Disney movies purchased vudu on Anywhere on the go, that would be great too, and I can still watch them on my TV through Vudu.

    I don't want it to link to VUDU and I refuse to use it and hope others do the same. I want it to fail, and fail miserably so they will hurry up and join Ultraviolet already. It's really obnoxious they are offering a nascent competing service 2.5 years later.

    I doubt that Disney will change their approach unless there's a financial motive for doing so. I vote with my dollars.

    I haven't bought any of the blu-ray sets even though they come with DC+ because they aren't UV. I don't go see Disney movies, since I won't be able to add the ones that I like to my UV collection.

    They are making a business decision, and they are probably right. Most people will cave and still buy their products the way that they dictate.

    I guess the the prospect of joining DECE was so frightening for them, they turned their imagineers loose who came back with this briar patch solution.

    The idea of sinking a commitment into Apple Corp. for my movie play back, having to buy their set-top box for each TV to play back in my home, and agreeing to buy their mobile products for the rest of my natural life or loose access to my movie library is something they would like to think I am willing to do.

    Sadly for them, I am not willing to make such a ridiculous commitment.

    Let us also remember that DECE membership does not negate playback on iOS mobile devices. It is a turn key solution to digital copy playback, both mobile and in-home. Trying to go it alone just serves to fragment a market attempting to normalize.

    that, IMHO, is flawed logic. The service life of a table is ~2-3 year. What matters is recent sales trends since the sliding window of what is in use tracks according to sales trends.

    Re: Plans for "Disney Movies Anywhere" to link to Vudu?

    I'm kind of confused how that site works. I guess all my accounts aren't communicating correctly yet. I have a bunch of digital movies that show on the Disney Movie reward site, but don't show up on the DMA site or Itunes. I redeemed three old codes on iTunes tonight; Thor, Wall-E and Iron Man 2, and the last two show up on the DMA site, but not Thor or Captain America, which I had redeemed at some point or another.

    I guess none of this really matters, as I'm not inclined to watch anything on iTunes, but I hope they link this service to Vudu at some point in the near future. Even if we don't get full UV support, it would be awesome to get Vudu copies of some of these movies that I own, without having to pay again.

    I won't use iTunes to buy any movies, but the DMR points I had redeemed from Digital Copy Plus transfered my movies to the DisneyMoviesAnywhere website, and a couple were upgraded to HD. So I may watch a few from the web.

    We will NEVER use iTunes! We will stick with Disney Blu-rays until Disney gets with the program.

    Re: Plans for "Disney Movies Anywhere" to link to Vudu?

    One curious irony: DMA pulls its initial libraries from both Disney Movie Rewards and (if you link to it) iTunes. Thus, any DC-eligible (disc or DC+) movie for which you previously redeemed DMR points automatically pulls over to DMA (and iTunes), even if you never redeemed the DC disc or elected a different DC+ provider (i.e., Vudu). This ironically rewards folks who are not iSheeple by giving them HD access thru iTunes & DMA on their PCs on top of their existing providers (i.e., Vudu), while providing nothing new for iSheeple who redeemed DC+ thru iTunes.

    In addition, those who ripped DC discs into iTunes will need to delete those files for a full DMA upgrade. While this was already true for most new iTunes redemptions (iCloud licenses include extras; most DC discs don't), all DC discs were SD; all DMA licenses I've seen in iCloud appear to be in HD (though that may not be true of DCs with DVDs -- all of mine came from Blu-rays). I can see that leading to complaints from iSheeple that won't apply to Vudu fans.

    What remains to be seen is what happens with future DC titles -- will they be redeemable solely in DMA, or will they redeem simultaneously in DMA and a currently non-DMA service like Vudu (like all pre-DMA DC+ codes)? That could be answered today with Thor: The Dark World, but it may have to wait for the disc release of Frozen in three weeks. (I already know my Vudu copy of Frozen, from the in-store preorder, did not carry over to DMA.) Still, with DC+ codes redeeming in Vudu I suspect Vudu will eventually join DMA (along with Amazon & Google Play, the other DC+ providers).

    I emailed to express disappointment with iTunes only and they replied with "We look forward to adding additional provider options to Disney Movies Anywhere in the future that will be compatible with Android devices."
