Why not? I do it all the time for a simple economic reason: renting is $2.99 and buying is $14.99.
If I haven’t seen the movie yet and I don’t feel super strongly about it, I don’t feel like paying the full price. Of course if I end up loving the movie and want to buy it, I’ll end up having spent an extra $2.99 to rent something I now plan to own. But I can’t remember ever doing that. I rent. I watch. I move on.
Also I wouldn’t buy a movie that I can’t store in a physical format.
- tpxl 5y ago> Why not? 1. "Buying" is usually 15$ in my experience, not 3$. 2. Like said, the limitation is not technical, it's purely milking users. 3. I like to own stuff and sometimes play older games and watch older movies. Renting is just a non-starter for that, unless you want to overpay out the nose.
