They can treat things however they want but people paid for a digital product which includes all content including extras and all of a sudden they don't have what they paid for. Kind of like buying a water melon, getting it home, putting a water melon in the refrigerator but when you open the refrigerator to eat it there is on!y a honeydew melon in there. But it's still a melon right?
Quite frankly the whole V thing is a shambles and I think because of some K employees input on this forum people are afraid to call it out for what it is. Even the well overdue conversion updates that shouldn't have been needed, but if they were should have been provided from the beginning, are showing conversion at a much slower rate than we were led to believe. K really need to communicate things better and some sort of statement would be welcome at this stage.
My rather selfish concern as a non V owner, now that I know that movies I have purchased might not be avai!ab!e to me in the future as was promised, is what happens to non V owners who purchase a V converted movie. Presumably before conversion we get all the extras then after conversion we get whatever was converted and nothing else and if and when the extras are converted we then get them? I don't know other than speculation as K haven't made it clear or even attempted to explain.
So as it stands non V owners are essentially being asked to pay the same for less once a conversion has taken place with the non-guaranteed hope that they will eventually get what was on offer before conversion. All for a product some of us never asked for and don't even want.
It is no secret that I am irked by the increasing amount of content that is not availab!e on K but is available elsewhere or available in a better quality but now I face the prospect of store content getting worse with almost every conversion and possibly undownloaded purcbases not quite being the same when downloaded as what I purchased.
As a practical example I had no idea that Alien 3 and Rocky Horror had additional cuts, because of how rubbish the UI is at displaying this sort of information, that I would have purchased if I had known but now that I know I can't purchase because of a product I don't even own. I haven't purchased anything on K in ages because either it isn't available or is only availab!e in an inferior package yet have added over a hundred discs to my collection and this sort of thing only makes it worse. Unless I want to downgrade my collection I doubt I will ever fill up my 22tb server. Certainly if I put a 30 year old Laserdisc in my player it's the same content as I purchased and will still be the same tomorrow which seemingly can't be said of K.
Apologies for the long rant folks but for the 'Ultimate Player' to be worse than Laserdisc it just grinds my gears a little. (Just to c!arify for those who were wondering I am not remotely serious about the Laserdisc references but the comparision to it was rather bizarrely started by K which imho was quite absurd even though I am running with it).
