Rent or buy Movies from iTunes

[JeevesVic]

Just bought myself an Apple TV for my birthday! Absolutely love it. Just wondering if you guys buy or rent movies off iTunes?

Me and the girlfriend have already started a collection of movies on Apple TV

We buy it on AppleTV if its great and we want to watch again. Otherwise, we will rent from Redbox.

Re: Rent or buy

If I'm renting, I normally just do it on demand through my cable company. If I'm buying, then I'll do it through iTunes.

I just rent, and even that is a rarity (I'm mostly streaming on Netflix). I think there's something in my upbringing that stops me from buying movies (which seems weird, since I write about movies for work).

I rent a lot on iTunes because I simply hate standing in Redbox lines. It's just much more convenient.

I have a really hard time justifying renting from iTunes for $5-6 when Redbox just costs a bit over a buck. Maybe I'm cheap.

I feel the same. But I just hate standing in a line at Redbox waiting for people to hurry the F up
and make their decision.

I buy them mostly for the kids. I'm up to a few hundred.

I do both, but mostly I buy TV shows and rent movies. I love the Apple TV too it's great. Most of the rental stores have closed down here I'd rather download/stream a movie than trek to the store to rent a Blu ray.

We buy and rent off Apple TV... I can't remember the last time we went to a rental store.

I do both. We usually rent movies for my wife and I to watch... and typically buy the kids movies for the grandkids - they usually watch them over and over and over....

Rent off Apple TV and stream off Netflix. $5 isn't bad to rent when you don't need to go anywhere. Redbox is nice but the simplicity of Apple TV is worth it to me.

I bought a movie bundle from iTunes for the first time and I think I'll probably buy a few more every once in a while.

Especially when you can get bundles on deals like they had going this week... I jumped on StarTrek...

Yes, those deals were great! I bought the Harry Potter collection since I hadn't seen the final movie but enjoyed the rest.

I usually rent unless it's an old favorite movie, then I'll buy. After buying a few TV seasons, I realized how poorly that fits my viewing habits, as I typically watch a show once and I'm done, but movies I can watch again and again. So I tend to stream TV shows over Netflix or Hulu.

I previously bought all 10 classic Star Trek movies, before the bundle. But did jump on Back to the Future & Lord of the Rings.

It appears that the bundle pricing has ended... I was not able to find it in iTunes.
