Disc to Digital service on Xbox one?

DouglasCoblentz · Sep 19, 2015

Hello

I have a question about Xbox 360 and Xbox one apps. I have a small collection of DVD and Blu-Ray movies that I would like to convert to digital copies. Please don’t misunderstand me, I don’t want to copy the movies themselves to my Xbox 360 or Xbox
One hard drives, I want to unlock the online digital versions of the movies that will allow me to play them on my Xbox 360 or Xbox One through various apps or other devices like a tablet or cell phone. Apparently there are a couple of services that allows
you to unlock movies you have already purchased for a small fee. I think CinemaNow and Vudu offer this service. I know I can download software for my PC that will allow me to redeem DVD movies but my PC doesn’t have a Blu-ray drive so I was hoping one of the
apps on the Xbox One would offer this service. Do any of the apps on the Xbox One offer a disc to digital service? Thank you.

:)

Lemme get your opinion on something guys...

Depends on the price to be honest.

If the digital is the lowest then I'll buy that. If I can get it cheaper on physical disc then that will be what I go for.

This is something I think the console guys need to catch up with. If I buy an EA game on disc I have to register it online with EA. That then gives me a digital copy on their Origin service. I buy a game that uses Steam on disc, I register it and I have
a digital copy on Steam.

Buy a Xbox One game from Microsoft on disc and I get nothing but that disc.

Would people put up with having to enter a code when they first play a game if they got a physical/digital bundle as it were.

Pros and cons of having a game on disc vs. having a digital copy

Specific to Xbox One, Digital allows for play without a disc present. It prohibits resale. Games purchased digitally can often times be refunded with a call to Live Support. I did this for the Xbox One version of the Destiny Digital Guardian Edition after
the news came out about the buy on 360, get it on Xbox One for free.

Disc-based games must have the disc in the console to be played. They can be resold. Disc-based games routinely go on sale unlike Digital, though MS has been better about sales on digital titles as of late.

There is no "size" difference as both digital and disc titles deposit the same bits on to the Xbox One HDD. In fact, installed-from-disc titles can be converted to digital titles (and thus obviate the need for the disc) by simply buying the digital version
of an installed-from-disc title. No re-downloading is required.

Definitely not a stupid question, and you are not the only one to have asked. There are not any disc to digital services, but you can trade in old disc games for cash at a variety of stores, so there is that.

The only way to get your disc game working on the "All digital" edition of the Xbox One is to purchase the game digitally.

It's not possible to "convert" a disc game to a digital game. Otherwise you could buy a disc, convert it to digital, and sell the disc to someone else who would then convert to digital, sell the disc and so on, until the whole world has the game digitally,
and only one disc was sold.

So the only way to get a digital copy of your disc based game would be to buy the game digitally again.

The Xbox One S console has a disc drive, so games(both physical and digital) can still be played.

The Xbox One S All Digital console does not have a disc drive, therefore it can not play physical(disc) games. As there is currently no option to transfer physical(disc) games to digital, you would have to re-purchase the digital versions.
