It's been explained many times in this thread that they come in 1080p downloads and how to make sure you get them. Please pay attention before confusing other people.
It makes perfect sense... the digital copies are for ipad, ipods, iphones or other portable stuff. You'd don't really need that type of huge file for a portable device.
AppleTV streams the HD content (at least for me it does with an SD copy)
but viewing on the Mac they suck.
Only The Hunger Games streams at HD for me. All of the other digital copies I have stream at somewhere in the 480p range.
interesting...mine streams the digital copies from Apple. any ripped/imported/home movies all pull from my iMac and are however they are input there.
That's what I am referring to. Take a look at the screenshot at http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/03/your-digital-movies-can-now-be-served-up-by-icloud/.
If you notice just above the movie's star rating it says "Widescreen." That means it's streaming at SD, not HD. If it says "1080p" or "720p," it will stream in HD.
I'm thinking it streams at a decent bitrate in SD, but it's most definitely not HD on my Apple TV 3. I noticed it when I was closer to the TV watching Beauty and the Beast then looking at how pixelated the title logo was for The Lion King (both of which are SD digital copies).
The worst part was that I can't unsee the SD quality now that I spotted it.

Can anyone confirm whether the digital copy code that comes with the purchase of a DVD/digital copy edition of The Hunger Games (or other DVD - not BluRay - titles) is downloadable via the iTunes Store in HD? Or since the digital code came in a DVD/digital file combo pack is the downloaded file only in SD?
In other words, does the quality of the digital download for The Hunger Games and/or other titles depend on whether or not the BluRay combo set or DVD combo set was purchased?
Thanks.

Thanks.
even blu-rays looks crappy to me up close.
I haven't had a chance to look yet but will another night...baseball on tonight.
Replying to myself here. The digital code that comes with The Hunger Games DVD is for a standard definition download. Apparently the BluRay combo pack is the only one giving the HD digital download (besides a straight iTunes store purchase, of course).
FYI....
The digital copy code in Statham's new blu "Safe" downloaded HD, SD and Extras on iTunes for me today.

awesome - thanks!

What to Expect When You're Expecting is from same studio as Hunger Games.......hmmmm.....
