I've found Amazon Video to be fairly consistent. I don't buy many movies, nor rewatch them often, but they have done well by me. But the video game companies are fond of planned obsolescence and have happily abandoned their customers for decades. Buying a video from Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony is just asking to have it disappear when they build their next "Store."

- foxyv 3y agoI think every service that doesn't allow you to download the video in MP4 will have something like this. Amazon just seems to not have exercised this option on me yet. I can't say the same for the Playstation store. In the future I would love to have a digital collection of DVDs and BluRay backed up to Glacier or something.
