Yeah, I was bitten by this too. I had pre-ordered on iTunes using my iPhone not thinking about how I might want to watch it. When it was released, I wanted to watch it on my TV, which has a Chromecast. Needless to say, I watched it on my iPhone and kicked myself for not ordering it on Google Play instead.
I would have held out for DVD/BluRay, but I wanted to pre-order to support the film and send a signal that I'm willing to pay for this type of content.
- walterbell 10y agoWe need an industry mechanism for cross-format "upgrades", i.e. upselling of an existing customer. The challenge is that walled gardens don't want to share customer information with content (media,software) creators, in case the upsell/upgrade takes place outside the walled garden. Maybe they would allow it with (a) consumer opt-in, (b) a cut of the upsell revenue, paid by the creator to the first walled garden that introduces the customer to the content. This would be like advertising attribution, except for, you know, actual purchases vs. possible influence on future purchases.
