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

$30 to own the movie is valid, but for $5 less, you're only allowed 1 watch within 24 hours of starting. Something like that shouldn't be basically the same price as the movie. With pricing like this, they basically force you to spend the extra $5. There isn't even a point to rent the movie and they know that.

When you said “cheaper” I was not expecting like NEARLY HALF THE PRICE

Yeah. I'm back to buying discs for the movies I want to support. Then I can always hang on to a copy no matter where it might live on streaming apps.
