Digital copies included on the DVD…finally

ByJohn

Tonight I picked up the Family Guy Blue Harvest Special Edition dvd set. This is the Family Guy version of Star Wars that opened the current season and was fantastic.

It comes with a digital copy of the episode that you can use on your computer – and it’s Mac compatible for a change!

Strangely, it comes on a second dvd that you have to put in and you then still need to enter a serial number included in the dvd package to redeem on iTunes and download it. Seems like a waste of a second dvd.

Success!

Why did it take so long for this to happen?
