"Many consumers don't want to purchase DVDs or Blu-ray movies anymore..."
Yeah sure, people want stuff that is not real and only on the cloud and only available when the host says it is. No thanks I'll just stay in the bronze age with my physical discs ripping them to my devices at the best resolution possible for that device.
 
As previously asked, how exactly do you get the free movie? Neither site (Flixster nor Ultraviolet) mentions anything about getting a free movie if you sign up on both sites.
 
I hate these types of streaming services. If I purchase something, then I want it to be mine and mine alone, to do with as I please, and on whatever device I want that attaches to speakers and a screen. I do not want to have a movie removed from a streaming service because some future governing body deems the movie 'unfit for viewing' (both dems and reps are just as likely to do this... just blocking different content). Or what happens if a company or distribution house gets bought out and decides to sunset a movie for whatever reason? And what happens if actors have more say in what performances of theirs they want released or re-released? Sure it may never happen, but I'm not about to take that risk, when it is so easy to keep my own files.
I will always have a local network, with my own personal files, and backups of all my physical media that I can watch on whatever I want. I love Netflix and hulu as they are cheap for bulk amounts of media. But when it comes to a movie I find myself watching over and over again (Braveheart, V for Vendetta, 5th Element, Independence Day, Friends, Fraser, a slew of Anime, etc etc), then I buy it, put the case on the shelf for display, rip the disc to the network, and put the disc away in my little storage locker for safe keeping where it won't get scratched or melt in a fire. I find very few movies worth watching (much less watching more than once), but when I do, I want to have access to it as long as I live... which I hope to be a very long time.

You dont get a free movie. You buy a Uv movie (disc copy), and you will be granted access to their networked copy of inferior quality.
 
I refuse to give Big Content a dime out of my Wallet and that goes for Netflix,Itunes,etc as well.
Why support those who are paying off Politicians to bring Censorship to our Great Nation.This is a great way to fight back and keep your dignity.I Boycott all of those in Big Content.The only films I intend to buy are used and physical.
FIGHT SOPA/PIPA/OPEN
 
so let me get this straight, the bouns for buying the bluray version of the movie is getting free digital access, not them trying to get you to try out the format with an older movie for free...

what poor wording.
 
Just a heads up but yes you do actually get 1 free movie. You have the choice of 12 different movies to select from. Mars Attacks, Lethal Weapon & Demolition Man to name a few. It connects with your Facebook account & add an app that allow you to view said movie. You also have the choice of downloading the movie but have to install Adobe Air to view it which is what I chose. I can't comment on quality ATM as I'm currently downloading the 1.7GB file but if you wish to know I can always comment on quality.

so, where is it? as i am finding nothing. can you give us the steps?
 
Some of you clueless idiots do know you can still download these for offline viewing for your car trips/plane rides. I download three about each time I fly through various UV programs.
