I'm sure I've written this many times in the past, and I'm going to do so again today, but..
Digital media is not good.
Once again, I have encountered a digital service dying on me.
This time, it's Flixster. A place where many of my Ultraviolet movie titles have been stored for years.
Ultraviolet shut up shop earlier this year and now Flixster has emailed to inform me that it will cease by the end of the year.
I won't lose ALL of my titles as Flixster informed me in the email that they'll be moved across to a Google Play account.
The Google Play option is okay, I suppose. With Google being such a huge company, I feel my collection - or what will be migrated across - is sort of safe.
The bottom line - I think my concern about digital media is proving right. It's ALWAYS safe to have the physical copy of DVDS, CDs, Blu-Rays because things can go belly up at any moment.
Ask UV.
If you can find them.
If not, Ask Flixster.
While you can.
