$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it... Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.
No you are mistaken with "Or $5 mire to own it". You own a license to watch for the amount of time the platforms decides to keep it up.
Watching propaganda is not why I pirate. It's to have access to the media that isn't straight up propaganda.
I pirate so I can watch the propaganda for free, lol
The physical Blu-Ray is $25* -- then at least you own it, versus the $30 price here to "buy" but actually lease.
Absolutely ridiculous pricing across the board though.
Edit: $25 for 1080p Blu-Ray, $40 for 4k.
The worst part is that you might be better off with a pirated copy due to DRM on Blu-ray.
No damage on bluray.
This is not how you say „Keine Schade“ (or your language’s equivalent) in English. Did you mean “No problem”?
How long is your mobile phone, is it foldable?
Never left for media stuff, but for games yeah I will.
Could be a scrolling screenshot. My phone can scroll and stitch multiple screens into one looooong screenshot. It's pretty handy.
OnePlus?
Who the fuck streams or downloads movies in 4k? What kind of uber connection do you people have and do you sit five inches from the television analyzing pixels and crying if one looks to be out of place?
I've seen 4K and it doesn't impress me even a little bit. Boo hoo hoo get glasses I know, I have glasses, I can see, 4K is worthless and probably why all of these internet providers want to destroy net neutrality and have tiered connections. At a proper viewing distance, 1080 is more than enough.
4k streams with very little compression at around 50 Mbps. If you use some decent compression (like most streaming services do), you can cut that in half. That is a very reasonable bandwidth for the average American.
Nobody NEEDS 4k, but it's not like some crazy luxury or placebo. If I'm watching a 1080p stream on a big 4k TV and sitting back on the couch, I can absolutely tell the difference. 1080p is tolerable, but I would definitely choose 4k if it's available.
It's not even about 1080p vs 4k. It's about sdr vs hdr.
I mean.....that is also a factor, yes, but resolution also matters.
Some people still think HDR is only available in 4k (because that's how most movies are distributed). But you can absolutely fit an H.265 HDR 10-bit 1080p (or 4k) movie on a data DVD±R, or H.266 HDR 720p on a CD-R. It's usually not worth the effort, though.
And you can only appreciate the resolution if the screen takes up enough of your visual field, and HDR only in a glare-free dark environment. My small LCD TV offers neither so there is no reason to download movies above 720p (even DVD over RGB looks sharp on it).
I've literally only seen like 1 movie that was 1080p hdr lol
I have only ever downloaded a 720p HDR file once. They are indeed rare.
This is ridiculous, but at least Barbie is getting a physical release. I'm actually very willing to pay for media... if I can access it offline and am not dependent on the good will of some large corporation.
Renting a DvD / Blueray was like 7$, going to the movies is 10-15$, why TF is this platform so expensive??
Man, I spent 15 bucks to watch it at the movie theatre. Why is the rent option more expensive than that? Even with the popcorn and drink I stayed below that.
