That seems like a terrible deal, compared with just paying for that "same thing" once and watching it over and over for free.
- EastSmith 8y agoThat "same thing" this month is Finding Nemo, next month is Cars, next month is something else. Also, you can buy it and they watch it half a time and never think about it again. $10-$15 is cheaper.
- mmt 8y agoThanks (I'm not a parent). In those cases, yes, that pricing would make sense. Of course, it doesn't really matter if they control all the distribution anyway. They can just make "buying" a non-option, which I believe Disney has tried for certain titles already.
- jasonjayr 8y ago... and children + discs often ends poorly.
- mmt 8y agoI can't imagine buying a disc and not immediately ripping and trans-coding it, though I was assuming buying some cheaper, downloadable content in the first place.
- scarface74 8y agoAnd then when you rip it, you have to go through the trouble of either setting up a Plex Server to stream the content (which I've done) or putting it on each device. Just another FYI: If you buy DRMd movies by Disney or three of the other four major movie studios, from either iTunes, Vudu, Google Play or Amazon and link your accounts with Movies Anywhere, they will show up as purchased movies in your other libraries as if you purchased them from the other services.
