Almost free movies on the iPad My Blu-ray collection is now in the double digits, and I recently discovered the reward for purchasing “Special Edition” sets. Special Edition usually means 3 discs: an extra disc for special features, and an extra disc called the “Digital Copy.” Also, they are often the same price as the single Blu-ray disc on Amazon (occasionally cheaper too). I ignored these discs assuming they were just regular DVDs. However, upon further inspection, I discovered how awesome they are. 1. Stick the Digital Copy into your computer. 2. iTunes automatically launches and asks for a code. 3. Enter the code (found in the Blu-ray box). 4. 1+ GB version of the movie starts downloading. Free. 5. Sync that version onto your iPad. 6. Sweet.
