I had a pitter patt in my heart when I opened the box of Family Guy Blue Harvest to  be greeted with a inset saying how easy it was to use the second included disc for "digital copy" on a mac. It's the first such release with this new feature. I'm excited to see it, it's a great idea!

Inside it says: " Simply insert disc 2 into your Mac's DVD drive and 'Double click to transfer to Transfer Movie to iTunes' will guide you the rest of the way and.. once you have it…transer to iPod etc…". Great I think, I'll do that!

I insert it. It opens up a window with a nice graphic and a iTunes icon saying "Double Click to Transfer to iTunes" , I double click it like it says… and… nothing. I do it again… nothing. Again, nothing.

Obviously it doens't work as advertised, so I look in iTunes, there is the disc - I select it and BAM, up comes a screen with the title asking for a serial number, it's on the insert. Type type type… download starts.

So it worked - but not off the disc, I think. It downloaded it from iTunes, I think, not sure. But it worked, I think, as advertised, kinda. They need to do it on a mac a few times to get the instruction process down a bit more, I think.

I will say though that the Mac side was one paragraph of instructions (that didn't work) sharing the front with all the 'freakin' sweet' info, serial number and fine print, the whole other side was PC instructions with a four screenshot spread. WTFs up with that?

I got it in iTunes anyway for now, so that's somethin' I did this week other than  be buried alive in pincushion orders. (how many times am I supposed to feel weird saying that?)
