Abstract
A media validation and registration system includes media storage devices which contain a quantity of content thereon, a user computer processor assembly structured to access a select media storage device, a verification module, and a communicative link between the verification module and the user computer processor assembly. Each media storage device includes a unique unit identifier, the verification module identifying the unique unit identifier of the select media storage device and receiving user information associated therewith. The verification module is also structured to apply supplemental content in association with a first user whose user information is associated with the unique unit identifier for the select media storage device, and to allow the user to register the media storage device through a computer network, e.g., the Internet, and also to verify the status of the registration by going to a website of the publisher or distributor of the media storage device.
