I purchased the 3D/2D/Digital copy version of Titanic - plugged in the code and...SD download!! I was hoping HD versions would become the new standard!!
it would be so great!!
it seems to be new blu rays from Lionsgate Films + HBO that are giving the HD codes on itunes.....
my guess would be that these upcoming Lionsgate releases will have hd iTunes:
What to Expect When You're Expecting Blu-ray
The Cabin in the Woods Blu-ray
Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection Blu-ray
The new Jaws blu-ray was an HD copy as well, so I'm hoping the same applies for all Universal's 100th anniversary reissues, including E.T. when it comes out next month.

Something to keep in mind is that while you have the digital download site open, you can usually grab both the iTunes and Ultraviolet versions. This has worked for me with Hunger Games, Jaws, and Hugo, and all 3 are HD in Ultraviolet. I'm not a fan of Ultraviolet, but if you set up and link your accounts once, the videos will appear on most services for streaming on non-Apple devices. I can stream HDX through Vudu on a PS3 or stream on the go through Flixster. The only time I'd ever use Flixster would be if I didn't have the iTunes digital copy on my iPhone or iPad.
It would be really nice if Apple allowed the option to stream purchased movies instead of forcing you to download the entire file over WiFi. The Apple TV does it, so any other iOS device should be able to handle it.
Yup, mine is 1080p

My Universal 100th rereleases of the Bourne trilogy are in SD
I always download the VUDU version, if its included.
I like the iTunes version better, but VUDU usually comes in 1080p.
Why doesnt iTunes allow me to download an HD copy for every bluray digital copy code that I redeem!!??
Blame the content providers they are the ones that tell iTunes what copy have have rights to.

I'm really waiting to hear if the digital copy on this one is HD or not.
If not, I may buy the iTunes version. I like the convenience of it being available in the Cloud from on my Apple TV.
I agree. I've a best buy certificate and am waiting. I may just go in to BB and buy a itunes card with my certificate and use that to get the digital version off iTunes.
Digital is where it's at....don't like messing with disc anymore.
Target has a smoking deal. 3D Blu Ray disc, 2D Blu Ray disc, DVD, digital down load, and more for $19.99
This would be awesome if the digal download was 1080P from iTunes.
Edit: that Target deal is on-line only
Nope it is in store also. Just picked my copy up!
Awesome! Can you let us know if the digital copy is in 1080P?
Thanks!
As soon as I get home tonight I will find out.

I am downloading now and it's 2.04 GB... I doubt if that is HD
oh well, for that price of everything, it was too good not to get it.
