Amazon offering free digital downloads with select DVD & Blu-ray purchases

Have you ever purchased a DVD or Blu-Ray on Amazon.com and felt anxious as you waited several days for the item to ship to your house? Well, Amazon has a solution: Disc+ On Demand.

Amazon is offering shoppers a chance to double dip their movie-watching needs through a “Gift with purchase” on certain items. When customers purchase select DVD and Blu-ray titles, they can receive a free digital download of the film. The On Demand download is only standard definition, but it can play on a PC, Mac, or stream to compatible television units.

Disc+ On Demand is a happy medium for people who want the immediacy of digital downloads and those who want to purchase a high-definition physical copy of the film to watch at a later date. The library of Disc+ On Demand titles is just a small portion of Amazon’s store, but customers can browse through a list of available titles. Most of the selections are from Mystery & Suspense or Sci-Fi & Fantasy categories, but other categories are also represented in the more than 300 available films.

Disc+ On Demand is available only to U.S.-based Amazon customers.
