[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is so disappointing when you read about a movie or show you want to watch and realize it's not on any of the multiple platforms you already have and pay for.  I don't want to sign up for another service (even if it is free for 30 days) just to watch a movie. It's gotten so splintered that many of my friends haven't seen anything I have and vice versa.

Then, [b]services you already pay for tack on additional charges for movies that are years old![/b] You can't even go back and watch an oldie but goodie without paying another $5. Or pay extra to get rid of commercials. Etc.

Wish someone would just come up with a one-stop-shop with a complete smorgasbord of all content, and then we could just choose and pay-as-you-go. The latest blockbuster movie- pay $20. One episode of an old TV show -pay nothing but have commercials. The obscure foreign film - $3.

Re: the bold, as someone who seeks out some pretty obscure old TV series, this is the one that really irks me. Amazon says it HAS, say, season two of some 1990s show I saw season one of, on Amazon...but then the second season is eternally listed as "This program is unavailable" despite there being a big ol' "tile" for it with images etc. This applies to several shows I'd like to see, and not just on Amazon. It's immensely irksome.

Or they have OLD series and those cost extra on top of my subscription fee. I pay a fee that gets new movies as part of the package but a series or movie from the '80s or '90s will cost me? There is zero logic to it. A lot of older series -- and I only mean from the late '80s-mid-2000s, not antiques -- just do not stream anywhere at all, and when they are on streaming services, they're often extra to watch. I'd gladly put up with commercials in them but nope, they're either $$ or listed but "unavailable." [/quote]
