Do You Buy Movies?

Do you buy movies over the Playstation Video Store?

I can never justify it to myself that downloading the movies is worth it. I would personally MUCH rather buy a hardcopy of the Blu-Ray movie then pay for a digital copy - ironic because i'm ok with buying digital copy of games. I guess the reason i'm ok with games being digital is because it will usually ONLY play on that particular system.

where as movies have never been tied down to one machine or another. your third DVD player doesn't tell you "cannot read disk" unless ofcourse the dvd/cd is scratched.

I would be extremely interested if Netflix or Sony's own version of it came to the Video store. because then your not buying movies. your paying for a service. pay the annual subscription and be on my merry way.

what do you guys think?

If the Canadian PSN had a movie store, then maybe yes.

But I like buying Blu-Rays.

I flipflop between bluray and dvd's...the only reason I still buy dvd's is to rip them and put them on my Itouch or PS3

What happens if you buy the movie and then you get the YLOD? Would you lose that movie forever? For me id much rather get the BD since then i can also watch it on my computer which i prefer.Kurushio

So, here (Canada) we don't have a movie store.

I'm aware you can buy movies, but only rent HD movies?

[QUOTE="The_X_Factor_9"][QUOTE="The_Pig_Hostage"] Well, wouldn't it be tied to your account so that you could redownload it on your next PS3? Just like all downloads?The_Pig_Hostage

I'm always tempted to but I never bought a single movie from the PSN store. I just rent blu rays block buster but I haven't rented a movie in awhile too.

Im guessing you got SD movies. I think i would still rather pay an extra 5 and get the DVD (though now the BD is much more likely at like 30 lol).Kurushio

Pretty sure you cant watch BD via remote because that would be a huge amount of info to transfer and most of it would be lost since the res of a PSP is like 276*348 or something odd like that. Kurushio

I can confirm that Remote Play DOES NOT allow you to watch either DVD's or Blu-Ray movies...

HOWEVER...

You can watch any DIVX encoded movies that you saved on your PS3. Meaning that the vast majority of your porn collection and illegally downloaded movies off of Bit Torrent can we watched via Remote Play.

Hope that helps!

Oh...you can also access your computer's (PC or Mac) Media Server via Remote Play too...

so if us gamers - by and large, are not buying the movies. then who the hell is?

Sony keeps trouting out the PS Store, and adding movies to it. who the hell is buying? or are most people just renting?

if Kaz Hirai is hinting that PSN video store could be implemented into other Sony products like TV's and DVD/Blu-Ray players, who the heck is buying?

Can it really be that profitable?

Nope, I don't have a need to.

:]

Do I buy movies from the PS Store? Absolutely not. Not once, and not ever. I don't rent them, either. I hate renting movies (and games, for that matter).

If I want a movie I buy it on Blu-ray.

I have roughly 10 movies and 30 TV episodes from PSN. They're especially great for popping onto my PSP for long trips so my wife has something to keep her entertained while I'm driving.emitsu97

I've bought/downloaded a couple digital movies for this exact purpose.

Otherwise though I don't really buy movies. We have a netflix subscription and we watch 4-6 movies a month. If we want to watch a movie again we just add it to the queue.

I hate movies.rockguy92

It's been a while since I watched that show lol

I agree completely. I buy Blu-Ray movies all the time, but I'll never buy a digital copy. And yeah, I wish that the Netflix streaming service would be available on PS3 (since I already have a Netflix account).The_Pig_Hostage

I agree, I think it would be great on the ps3, I buy blu-ray movies all the time at best buy and sometimes when I havn't seen the movie and it ends up being crap! I just take it to moviestop and exchange it for another lol. I would like to just be able to rent the movie from netflix on the ps3.

If the Canadian PSN had a movie store, then maybe yes.

But I like buying Blu-Rays.

I typically buy Blu-Ray anymore, then rent the DVD and rip that to MP4 if I want it on my HDD>

I'll buy movies sure. but it's gotta be hardcopy. but lately my external hard drive does most of the job for me. i get my movies from friends or my schools servers. yeah.... the quality isn't Blu-Ray but hell.... to me Blu-Ray is for movies you REALLY wanna be special.

so far i only have 3 Blu-Ray's. Dark Knight, Iron Man, and Kingdom of Heaven.

there are a few other movies i wanna get on Blu-Ray, like Sky Crawlers, The Messenger, Watchmen, Transformers, Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen. quite possibly Avatar (as Cameron is hyping the hell out of that movie).

before i finally got my two consoles, i was an avid DVD collector (and yes i still watch them from time to time.) like i own ALL Godzilla movie, all 29 of them (that includes the American one). i freakin' love that giant lizard. i got a lot of other films to say the least..
