$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it… Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

    Spending $30 to own a brand new movie that just came out is not something I have a problem with.

    However, not being able to download a copy of the movie you purchased is where I take issue.

      $30 to own the movie is valid, but for $5 less, you’re only allowed 1 watch within 24 hours of starting. Something like that shouldn’t be basically the same price as the movie. With pricing like this, they basically force you to spend the extra $5. There isn’t even a point to rent the movie and they know that.

    No you are mistaken with “Or $5 mire to own it”. You own a license to watch for the amount of time the platforms decides to keep it up.

      Then, when they remove it, they offer you a measly $5 gift card only redeemable on their platform.

        On that last post where someone got a refund they gave a full refund as a gift card and an additional 5 euro gift card.

        (Not saying it’s an okay think to do, just in case you’re referencing it.)
