Up -- Disney/Pixar (Now on DVD)

[i'm grumpy]

I'm so confused. The blue ray is a 4 disc. Are they all blue rays or is there a standard 1 or 2 disc?

There are several versions, if you use the Amazon link under ICOT Affiliated (we get a little perk when our members link though our site) and search UP ... there are 3 different copies -- the 4 disk blue ray set comes with a digital copy as well for only $4 more, if you ever plan on having a Blue Ray player that seems like the better deal.

Thanks. I want the 2 disc regular. The blue ray set is less I think.

I just ordered the 4-disc BluRay set for $19.99 from Amazon and got an additional movie for $10 off (we went with Prince Caspian). The set I bought comes with a DVD too. I believe Disney is packing a DVD disc with the BluRay discs in all their releases for the time being. Great for us since we have 1 BluRay player and 3 DVD players.

I found the blue ray pack only has 1 regular disc. Will have to get the regular dvd to get both discs.

I was wrong. I got 1 dvd and 1 digital copy which I have no clue what that is. I thought there were 2 regular dvds plus the digital copy.

I bought UP on blu ray and it also came with a regular dvd, extras and digital copy. We watched the movie yesterday and it was a wonderful movie. Even DS17 enjoyed it!!

Got to read the packaging carefully.

Some packages contain only the plain old DVD and nothing more. Some contain the DVD plus a BluRay copy.

Others contain the regular DVD, plus the BluRay copy, plus a "special features" DVD plus a "digital copy" disc. And in the case of the 4-disc combo pack I got yesterday at Costco, it may include a "Grape Soda" collector's pin.

The digital copy is intended for copying to one of your computers so you can watch the movie on the computer without searching for the DVD. There is a validation code included inside the package that you must use to install the copy on your computer. Here's the catch - - You can ONLY install it one time, then the code is invalid. You must also be connected to the internet when installing it. Forget about copying it onto other computers later or making a "bootleg" DVD. So, ideally, you should install it on a laptop so that you can watch it while traveling, and in many cases a laptop can be connected to a large-screen TV and the movie viewed there.

I'm pretty good at these things, but all these versions even get me confused. I don't have a blu-ray player yet, but I've decided all my future movie purchases will be blu-ray. I just got Snow White on blu-ray, and UP will be next. I was holding off on getting a player, but since my 10 year old DVD player is getting more temperamental, I will probably buy a blu-ray player on Black Friday.

Remember that BluRay discs can be played on Playstation 3 consoles. If you are in the market for a new game system AND a BluRay player, it's something to consider. One less black box and a lot less wiring 'spaghetti' to deal with.

Very confusing. I would have bought the Blue-Ray pack since it was cheaper even though I have no plans for a player. Oh well I got the Adventure book.
