I like Disney's approach .. Include a DVD instead of a stupid Digital Copy which is of no use to people who dont have a portable media player. Disney, in the next release will be releasing 3 Disc (BD, DVD and Digital Copy) and 2 Disc (BD and DVD) Versions.

DVD is more handy for people on the go with portable dvd players or for kids room.

Isn't every DVD technically a "digital copy?"

Your Right

these digital copies --- are they windows media format?

I think yes! I have not tried mine yet.

WMV (Windows Media Video) and Ipod MP4

I don't understand, what EXACTLY is a digital copy? a DVD with a .wmv file on it? I'm guessing that's ONLY for playback on computers then? Wouldn't that be a waste of time/money/energy when the regular SD-DVD gets playback on all computers?

They advertise them for use with portable music players, like iPods. Some are .mp4 for iPod, and others are .wmv for other players, but no company gives you both, so some digital copies will not work with iPods, which I think is stupid. To add to the previous conversation, I am also a fan of Disney's recent policy of issuing 3 disc BluRay Discs with BD Feature + BD Extras + SD-DVD Feature. I don't have a Blu Ray player yet, but I have Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty on BD because of this, so when I do upgrade, I'll be ready.
