Archived Bye Bye Target Ticket

[Signkitty]

Redwire had me take down the signs today. It was a bad idea anyhow, not much demand for a half assed nextflix.

 

[Rock Lobster]

Yes, Target expanding into markets they do not have the resources to compete in.

 

[PinkZinnia]

oh and I was just going to get it...What was it again? lol

 

[Amaazingdude]

What is that

 

[SFSFun]

I always heard ads for it on the TVs in electronics but never bothered to figure out what it was or why anyone would possibly use it.

 

[RandomRedShirt]

What is that

It's an on demand video service with option to buy. I believe it's run by Ultraviolet, Target just leases them the name. If they close the service I hope the movies I bought and were given (due to being a TM) get transferred over.

Finally, spot realizes that they can not do it.

Yes I read there was a way to transfer them over to another service.

 

[SpotCrazy]

Oh no I actually liked target ticket.

Now they need to abolish librify or whatever its called. No one cares about it, weve never sold a librify card, and its only an apple ipad/iphone thing.

What the hell is Librify?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

E-books in the mmb section.

 

[JustJoe]

As long as the movies I acquired when I signed up don't vanish from my UV account we're golden. Spot's player always gave me issues so I typically use Vudu or Flixster to play my UV content.

now if we can ditch nook and go back to kindle.

One of our SrTLs said apparently Target's thing this year is to discontinue operations they can't handle. Seems legit.

Does that mean target.com and the majority of store processes are going away too?

Amazon left a sour taste in Target, and several retailers mouths. Undercutting the stores prices on the kindle, and using stores as showrooms really hurt sales. I say carry them, but thats just casue nook hasn't really been selling lately. That and well the samsung tabs can do both nook and kindle apps, so no point in either, IMO.

Exactly my point of why it should be gone.

 

[lolaboss]

I would never sign up for target ticket, target can't even get their employee ehr to work properly. Defiantly not putting my money into a movie service that is web based.

Samsung actually makes the new nook! It's called the Samsung Galaxy Tab Nook. Great collab in my opinion. Samsung makes nice hardware, they have brand recognition, B&N's ecosystem is less restrictive than Amazon's (they added the actual play store a couple years ago), and nook works with epub formats.

I just sang the praises of that device from my iPad lol

Another fail for Target. How many is that so far for 2015?

Not a fail, it's a win.

 

[neversaynever]

Gee, I have a $5 coupon sitting here too.... Damn.

And, I inadvertently bought a Target only movie - I better get that to move somewhere else. Off to go check.

 

[jenna]

I signed up, and then promptly forgot to utilize it. oh, well.

We already have Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Amazon Fire Tv (?) My husband handles all the tech stuff in our house.

 

[neversaynever]

I couldn't get much to load - typical - but there was nothing saying it was closing that I saw. I'll be curious to see what they do...
