I have a Roku and use thier integrated M-Go service. Most I've ever paid is $5.99 for an HD 24 hour rental, but most are priced at either $3.99 or $4.99. No tax. I believe M-Go is available on other platforms as well.
On my Xbox 360 I usually buy them from Vudu. Their sales are sometimes decent but new movies are usually expensive. They have good rental prices, I rented Gravity in HD last week for 4.99. I don't do RedBox anymore, I don't have the discipline to return the movies on time.
I don't buy any streaming movies at all, but I get movies from Amazon Prime because I have it. Those aren't HD, I don't think. I have not bought any HD movie or rented any one ever. Prices?
So you don't watch HD? Mostly everything on Amazon Instant Prime Video is HD. I usually do Google Play with Chromecast
I do watch HD I have never BOUGHT an HD movie before. Technically, I didn't "buy" HD movies on purpose when I signed up for Prime, you know?
I just have to ask you this, and please don’t take offense – But, do you intentionally try to come across as extremely obtuse? Is that like, your thing or something? Sorry for the derail, btw.
I know you're trolling... but... ^ I'm honestly asking what people are paying for their service and offering my experience. I don't know how my clarification of what I pay for sounds "obtuse" to you.
Xbox Video (available on my Xbox One, Windows Phone and all Windows 8 devices) or Amazon Instant (apps for everything, and smart TVs).
You get what you pay for. I have no problem paying a few bucks to watch a high quality and ad free stream without navigating to a website and clicking feverishness to close ads and captchas. I'm also one of the rare breeds that likes paying for movies and music, because I want artists to keep making more of them.
I usually use Google Play/Amazon Video since they have sales for rentals I don't buy digital copies since for the same price, you can buy the Blu-Rays when they are on sale that includes an UltraViolet copy to add to your movie collection and play them through Vudu
i watch all the movies i want for free in 720p quality including TV shows. Also there are no ads/captchas but suit yourself brah.
I mainly use iTunes. Mains reasons are 1) You can download & store iTunes movie in HD on your tablet & smartphone. With UV, you can only download in SD. 2) At least for now, Apple TV is a much more robust system than Chromecast (I have both). 3) I buy most of my movies from people on Home Theater Forum (iTunes digital copy codes from the Blu-Rays). A movie sell for about $3, a TV show season is about $10 on that forum.
Streaming via a flash player won't be 720p quality brah... those files are so damned compressed the quality is crap, even if the resolution is 1280x720. I didn't spend thousands of dollars on an amazing TV and entertainment system to watch lousy quality movies.
