$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.

I absolutely agree! Renting a movie should cost nowhere near as much as purchasing the movie.

Hmmm… The region-free blu-ray is cheaper than this. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Barbie-Blu-ray-Region-Margot-Robbie/dp/B0BGY6PRK5

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.
