Their good-hearted jabs make me laugh, but inside I'm screaming at Sony to just give me the fucking movie! I can not skip questions, and have to answer page after page of questions completely randomly.Īt this point, I'm sitting in the living room at my in-laws' house, cursing at my computer while I try to get this damn digital code redeemed so that we can all watch Ghostbusters. The questionnaire they present me has no less than 50(!) questions on it about what devices I own, what movie genres I like, what games I play, and what my annual household income is. I create the account, and get the confirmation email that tells me I need to answer a few questions before my Rewards account is fully activated. Something I have no interest in having, but I guess I need to redeem what I have already paid for. Oh no! That will not do, as I need to have a Sony Rewards account. Okay, no big deal, I have a Sony account that I use on my PlayStation every day, so I'll sign in with that. I went to the URL listed in the box, entered my code, and was then informed that I would have to sign into my Sony account to redeem this code. This was my first UltraViolet code, and this is where the shit show begins. UltraViolet is the industry standard, so given the multitude of phones, tablets, and streaming devices in the house we'll be able to get it up and running in no time. I'll redeem the digital copy and we can use one of the many devices in the house to get it on the TV. We want to watch this on the TV in the living room, but can't use the Blu Ray because my in-laws don't have a Blu Ray player. No UltraViolet redemption went smoothly (2 of them still haven't worked), but I have to single out Ghostbusters from Sony Pictures for having the absolutely worst redemption process I have ever experienced. I remember people talking shit about this service when it launched in 2013. Well, I thought to myself, maybe this is just what the norm is these days and I should just go with it. Now I have always preferred digital copies that I can redeem through iTunes, but that seems to have fallen out of favor with movie studios (besides Disney), and now everything comes with one of these UltraViolet copies. Even better, all 5 films came with a digital copy, which is how I really would prefer to watch. ![]() The trip proved to be fruitful, as I was able to get 5 movies that I really loved on Blu Ray for less than $30 total. There were a few films that were marked down to less than $10 on Blu Ray that I really wanted to add to my collection, and figured enduring the mass of people shopping that day was worth it. I walked into Best Buy this Black Friday and I wanted to pick up some movies on deep discount. ![]() Decemmovie Oh Great, I Have an UltraViolet Code
