$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it… Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
