Personally I would never pay for a PVOD release. It's best to use that money to buy the Blu-ray, at least then you actually get to keep it.
Yes. Higher bitrate 1080p with lossless audio always beats low bitrate 4K with lossy audio.
It's not, really. What makes it "premium" is the fact that you can watch it at home while it's still in theaters.
PVOD (premium video-on-demand) is when you pay a one-time price to watch the movie digitally on platforms like iTunes, Amazon Prime, Vudu, Google Play, etc.
Personally, at those prices, I'd much rather wait for the Blu-ray release.
Not to mention having this exact amount of money in your bank account.
That's correct.
Fun fact: last year, The Super Mario Bros. Movie made $75 million in PVOD sales. Additionally, studios get a bigger cut of the money in PVOD - instead of splitting it half-and-half with the theaters, they get about 80% of the profits.
And the best part? It's all digital, so there's little to no manufacturing costs, and they won't "run out of stock".
It's no wonder they're focusing so much on digital these days.
The company or the politician?
An even better deal would be to buy the 4K version. You're paying $30 for two discs!
It's-a me, Michael!

And this is my 1,000th Lemmy comment!

This is mostly me just typing into the void, but I noticed that my 1,000th post was coming up and decided to do something to commemorate it.
I first joined Lemmy in Janurary 2021, before the June 2023 craze. Lemmy was a much different place back then, practically a ghost town. Eventually, I only used Lemmy for a few months, then reluctantly went back to lurking Reddit.
Fast forward to June 2023, with Reddit announcing their new API changes. People were furious, and you all decided that the best course of action was to move to an open-source, federated Reddit alternative. You all chose wisely.
It took a while, but very soon, Lemmy became (mostly) what Reddit lost, and it's all thanks to you guys! A lot has happened in the past 14 months, with me starting my weekly "disc market share" reports on !homevideo@feddit.uk and me somehow becoming one of the co-moderators of !movies@lemm.ee. So many posts, cross-posts, so many comments, and upvotes.
And now, I've reached my 1,000th Lemmy post. I never imagined that Lemmy would grow to become the second-most popular ActivityPub service! Thanks to the Lemmy devs and all the contributors and users that make this possible!

"Website League"? I like the sound of that. Like some sort of super team...
