So...
I have Netflix (Ultra HD Sub), Amazon Prime Video and the full Sky Package (HD, Sports, Movies etc).
Today i decided that i'm in the mood to watch Catch Me If You Can later tonight, it's a 15 year old film so i'm not asking much to expect it to be one of my subscription services. Was it on Netflix, Amazon Prime or Sky? No, of course not...
So then i check how much it would cost me to stream / rent / own digitally. 15 year old movie? Can't be much surely? wrong again..
iTunes (Own): £5.99
Amazon (Rent): £3.49
Sky (Rent): £3.49
Alternatively, i could buy it for £5 on Bluray physically.. I don't want to own the film, i keep my physical collection to a min.
It drives me nuts, it's happened a couple of times on movies i've felt in the mood for. I can just about get over a 15-20 year old movie not being on Netflix, Amazon Prime or Sky On Demand all at the same time... Just about.... But then not to offer it up as a 99p HD rental, just beggars belief.
First world problems i know. Still drives me batty.
