E-Movie Cash?

Pirate · 06-18-2008, 10:26 PM

I just got Men in Black from Amazon and on the cover it states that it comes with "E-Movie Cash" for Hancock. There's no info on the back and no insert about it within. How does one procure this magical money?

Is this one of those online BD-Live traps?

Take the BR and to the E-ATM?

That large ugly sticker on the cover has info on the backside on how to redeem your e-cash. You have to peel it off which is stupid.

Not to mention the sticker leaves an impressive amount of residue, break out the Goo Gone.

I started to peel the sticker up, but the mess it was leaving scared me away.

Goo Gone time indeed.

EDIT: I pulled the sticker up and most of the text is now stuck to the sleeve. Can someone tell me what the website is? I can't make it out.

That one threw me for a while too. Stupid to stick it on the back of the sticker. Mine ended up mostly on the cover too, though thankfully it was still readable. I don't have the website info here at work but I'll post it once I get home if no one else has. You'll need the code that's also no doubt stuck to the box, so hopefully you can read it. The coupon is only worth $7.50 and it's only good at select theaters (here in DFW it was mostly Cinemark ones).

Can you pull the coverart out of the BD sleeve without having to deal with the sticker?

If so I might just do that instead. Got a ton of empty brand new BD cases.

No need to. The sticker is on the outside slipcase that goes over the dvd case.

So than shouldn't it be on the shrink wrap? I better get over to Sony & kick them in the nuts for this.

I was going to suggest you do that, but I wasn't sure if you were still on their payroll now that the format war is over.

I imagine the thinking is that if it was on the shrink wrap people could peel it off without buying the disc, seeing as the code and everything you need is right there on the sticker. Where it should have been was on an insert inside the case, with a sticker on the shrink wrap advertising it.

Thanks.

I miss the good ol' days when you just got a piece of paper with your DVD and didn't have to fill out online forms. And I'll probably have to walk three miles in the snow to see Hancock.

Shrinkwrap is regularly ripped or pulled off in the store. I expect they did this to keep the codes from being stolen.

You should go for the 'nads anyway, though. It will make you feel happy alllllll day long.
