Comment on Movie Studios’ new digital movie experience leaves something to be desired by Brutus

I am an Australian resident who has just received a US version of Crazy Stupid Love from amazon. When I press the ‘Redeem Now’ button on the Flixster website it knows I’m in Australia, stating “Sorry, this offer is only available in the US” and won’t allow me any further.

I didn’t even need an account for it to recognise this! And creating an account doesn’t help as there is no ‘Location’ or ‘Address’ field to fill out in the Profile or Account settings.

Is there anyway to trick Flixster into thinking I’m in the US? Is there some sort of ‘global recognition’ button I can amend or turn off in my browser (tried using Explorer and Firefox)?

Thanking anyone out there who can help.

P.S. Warner Bros. Studios suck. This isn’t the first time I’ve had problems with digital copies of Warner Bros. films.

I agree with the previous comments that Flixster is a horrible joke being foisted upon the public. I have been unable to view the copy of Green Lantern I downloaded even though it is supposedly an MP4 file. The codec used to create the file seems to be totally different from any other MP4 I’ve encountered. WHY?!?!?

Flixster is a joke.
Takes forever to download and the to try to find it on your system takes a long time.
You would think something like this would have a high bandwidth so it would not take 3 hours to download.
The whole thing is a major waste of time.
This process took me almost an hour to register and find the right link to begin the download and then another 2+ hours to get the movie.
With disk in hand it takes me about 20 minutes or so and I am ready to watch it.

Time to rethink how they are going to do this.
The movie studios are just trying to flex there muscles and force everyone who wants the digital copy to jump through many more hoops.
I bet the heads of the movie studios are laughing there heads off about this one.
I wonder if they have to go through this mess to get there digital copies……….:(

After receiving my extended edition copy of Green Lantern, I am profoundly disappointed with this new digital copy intitiative. What a mess, and I can’t even play it on my Apple TV nor store it with the rest of my movies in iTunes. I have, for the past few years, been buying the editions of new releases with the digital copy included. Moving forward, I’ll make sure to stop bothering and just start ripping.

Yeah, it absolutely sucks!!! I paid for the movie and if I WANT CONTROL of MY DIGITAL FILE! Hollywood trying to control it again. I paid for it, let me control the file or I will find my own way to.

I wish I had researched this and found this article sooner. I just bought Green Lantern and found out I could not sync it to my Ipad where I watch most of my movies. I downloaded the Flixster app and it would not recognize my account that I had JUST set up. Not being able to store it on my “i” devices is the nail in the coffin for me.
Whole thing is a joke and I am tired of every time I buy a movie with a digital copy its a roll of the dice if I can get any good out of it at all. I guess from now on I buy direct from itunes.

I have yet to get my ultraviolet copy of horrible bosses to work and they require 3 accounts. Uv, flixster, and flixster collection. Really confusing and terrible.

I had thought that it might be possible that figure was for “everyone else” and Apple would get special access. That didn’t happen obviously.

My 3GS Iphone is over two years old now and I am ready for an upgrade. However, I will NOT go for another Iphone on a two year contract with AT & T if it is not 4G. I will have to seriously look at some of the other phones.
