It is also about price though. I'd "rent" a lot more movies online if the price were the same as when I rented them on DVD, like fifty cents per day. However it costs like four Euros to stream a movie from Prime Video.
Where were you renting DVDs for 50 cents a day? That seems really cheap.
In Berlin. I think the most expensive rental was one Euro per day, before all those shops closed down.
There are places in the US where you can still rent DVDs for a dollar a day. Streaming _rental_ prices feel too high.
I though prime video costs like 12 dollars a year, that's what they charge in India.
There is catalog that you can stream for free with a Prime subscription, but there is a larger catalog of movies that you can stream for an additional fee. In Germany Amazon Prime costs eight Euros a month, so unless you watch a lot of movies it's not worth it for the movies alone. The free-with-prime catalog is also not really all that good imho.
