Renting a DvD / Blueray was like 7$, going to the movies is 10-15$, why TF is this platform so expensive??
It's pre release. You can often get streaming copies prior to the street date, but it's generally quite expensive.
Renting a DVD or video game was like $3 at its peak here. There was a video store that had older movies that they would let you rent 5 movies for 5 nights for 5 dollars.
It’s not the platform. The movie is that much on them all. In a few months it will drop to $6 - 7 for rental.
corporate greed.
It's for people who don't want to wait a few more months to pay $5.99 instead.
There might be 35 people in your living room, better price it according to that!
