    Default Transformers AOE already available to preorder on iTunes.

    In an interesting move Paramount has made Age of Extinction available to preorder on iTunes just one day after the theatrical release. No release date is given but if your desperate to preorder a home version of the movie you can.

    Not at itunes prices. You gotta have rocks in your head to pay that much for a movie that you don't get to hold. Blu-Ray for me.

    Blu-rays cost up to $50 depending on what version you get. This iTunes copy is $24.99 for the 1080p HD version, not a bad price at all. Blu-ray does give superior video quality for now and is the only way to get Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio but that will change with better encoding so I will be buying the 3D Blu-ray but can't wait for the day I don't have to buy physical copies to get those benefits. And really your argument is you can't hold it in your hand? Well thats just really old fashion, when was the last time you bought a CD?

    I don't understand why anyone would preorder a digital download. It's not like they are going to run out of stock.

    This has baffled me since I saw this sort of thing on the psn.
    Strange

    Is peoples thinking and preference.
    I don't think is worth it. Rather get a Blueray any day and have my video software to convert it for my ipad anytime.

    Not every place is bound to this. But some places are. PSN I think might be one of them. The game just isn't unlimited. PSN has to buy CD-Keys off the publishers and then sell those keys in the store. It just happens to all be behind the scenes. Again, not everywhere is bound to it, nor is the example I'm using 100% correct. PSN may not be one of the places that does it, I'm unsure how they do it now.

    Movies on the other hand, no idea how exactly they work now-a-days.

    Yes they do. New release Blu-rays range up to $50. Star Trek Into Darkness was $50 at Big W for the 3D + Digital Copy version. They often don't go up that high but they do go as high as $50.

    Besides digital is better than physical. You can make as many copies as you want to make sure you don't loose it if your paranoid. You can redownload any time you want. And no ****ing disk to worry about.

    I buy all my music from iTunes. I buy all my X1 and PS4 games digitally unless I want to trade it in or think I might want to bring back. And I would buy movies from iTunes if they added TrueHD and Master Audio. Like it or not those stupid disk are going away forever sooner or later. JB HiFi and EB Games will be out of business.

    Like said you really need to know where to buy your Bluerays. It is your preference to support whichever method as long as it is not pirated I don't think there is any issue. I have NOT bought any Bluerays over $30 Not one.
