I got that. There is a second disk in the pack, which is labelled as a DVD but actually also serves for the 'digital copy' disk.
Although, TBH, you should just be able to go to the 'redeem' section in iTunes and type in the code on the piece of paper in the pack.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashcan_copyI hate that term! It really annoys me when you're reading about something new, it's just harking back with a naff word in the hope of a bit of prestige

I had a similar problem with something else recently. I have to give Fox credit, if you e-mail them about it they will fix it for you quickly.

It was the DVD + Digital copy disk that keeps getting ejected. I am trying now with the BluRay disk but that gets ejected. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

Have you tried the DVD is a DVD player? Might be dodgy. The bluray won't do anything as far as getting a download copy goes.
Did you try just inputtng the code in iTunes?

Yes I can get both playing in my BluRay player. My Superdrive in the iMac is used regularly to rip CD's that I have bought. Yes it keeps telling me "insert your Digital Copy DVD into your computer to redeem this code". It is a vicious circle. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

Are you certain your iMac's drive isn't FUBAR'd?

I decided to check the disk in my other iMac. That works so it might be the drive. I did try some other DVD's and one of those failed as well. So it looks like there is a problem with the drive. I should contact Apple about getting it replaced. It is probably still under Applecare. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

The Harlem Shake. FFS - this sh!t is second only to Glee flash mobs in the "pissing me off" stakes.
That is all.

WTF is up with having to use Steam?
Bought dishonored for PC. Stuck the disc and the first thing it does is launch the steam client. Client then wants to update - whilst I'm trying to download 1.8GB dlc for PS3. After faffing around, it installs the game which takes 15 mins. Then when I try to launch the game, it wanted to download game updates. 90 mins in and I hadn't even managed to play the fecking game. Had it been console, I could have played a little to get a feel for it. Gave up in the end.

There's an A505 sign? *turns on fogs and high beam* Mind you, I'm going so [LIFTED] fast that I need more advanced warning of the junction TBH.
