Is anyone else who bought the Director's Cut really disappointed by the fact that they can only get the Theatrical Cut with the digital download? I don't know, I just think that's really tacky of Warner Bros. You should be able to get what you paid for. If I wanted the Theatrical Cut, I would've bought the Theatrical Cut.

i actually dont mind, i was very pleased with the result of the Directors Cut. And the fact that it comes with the theatrical version as a digital copy gives you 2 ways to expierence Watchmen. As long as watchmen actually gets on my iPod, i dont care which version i get.

BTW, the Directors Cut is on iTunes Store

I think WB are very tedious and sly like that with their marketing. A convinient mistake of neglecting to mention that the Watchmen Game does'nt really come on the disk, but is actually 0.01% cheaper or something rediculous. Then they announce releasing the Watchmen Ultimate edition for a little more money with everythink and more on it... Now this...

That explains everything.

Of course, this doesn't affect me at all, since I have nowhere to put the digital copy on anyway.

I'm very happy that it's the TC. Now I can compare the two versions if I ever want to.

What is this theactical cut people seem to think is out there? The directors cut is the only true watchmen movie.

There is no true Watchmen movie. Nor could there ever be. The DC is just less impossibly far away than the TC.

I don't like being charged whatever extra they've worked into the price for a digital copy I can't download! The disc is worthless as it only works with XP and I have Vista. Or am I missing something?

All I get when I insert the disc is a message telling me I need an internet connection. As my computer is always connected to the internet, I don't know what this message is about. So I tried opening my browser and got the same message. So I opened my browser before inserting the disc and got the same message.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what to do with this digital copy other than using it as a frisbee?

I presume you've already tried googling the exact message it comes up with?

I've never used a digital copy disc, but is it possible to run it in compatibility mode?

I don't understand the problem here. You did get what you paid for, which was the director's cut. The second disc had the special features, as well as the offer to get the theatrical cut through a digital download. Do you have to pay for that download, or are they giving it away with the purchase of the DC? If you don't want the TC, then don't download it, and just keep the DC and Special Features, which you already have.

I haven't tried the digital copy of Watchmen, but I've done it for TDK and I imagine it's the same thing.

The digital copy for TDK worked just fine for my MacBook. In fact, the digital copy turned out to be nothing more than a voucher for a free copy of the movie off of iTunes. Give it a try.

Well, if the digital copy of the TC is free, then I don't see what the problem is. It'd be a little silly if you had to pay to download it, but then, you don't have to. You have the DC, which is what you paid for, and the TC being available to download digitally shouldn't make a whole lot of difference one way or the other. I don't see why it's such a terrible thing.

Mine doesn't work, I downloaded it from the DVD disc 2 abut all I get is a gray screen, in addition it shows the images in the chapter selection, and it 'plays' in the time bar, nothing shows and there is no sound

The weird thing is, I put the 2nd disc into my computer once, the screen where it asks for the code and everything, and it was Vista but I never realy went farther then that.

btw, for anyone who actually downloaded the Digital Copy, how Gigabytes does it take up?

About 2.29 GB

[NOTE: Merged. --"Curiosity Inc."]

So I was at Best Buy yesterday, and decided to buy The Tales of the Black Frieghter DVD to complete my Watchmen collection along with Directors Cut and Motion Comic.

The box for the movie gives no indication of their being a Digital Copy of the movie. But after opening the box, i saw a little paper that said how to get your Digital Copy of the movie. I got excited at first, but was dissapointed that its only a Windows Media copy of the film.

So is anyone else feeling pissed off that the only digital copy of Black Freighter is a Windows Media copy and not iTunes?
And correct me if i'm wrong but why does the Blu-Ray version of Black Freighter come with an ipod digital copy?
