Renting/Buying Movies With Bitcoin

I love movies. I've watch a lot, but few blockbuster movies. So when I found out this way of buying/renting movies, I was like AWESOME.

This is my goto way of spending Bitcoins. (I don't spend too much though :joy:) You can get iTunes, Google Play, Walmart, Ebay, clothes, fast food, and much more types of gift cards that you can buy with Bitcoin. It's not too obvious, but you top up your account with bitcoin, and then use that credit to buy different cards from $10 through $500 denominations.

Buying Movies

As stated above you could get iTunes and Google Play cards, but there's a service ran by Walmart called Vudu. You can use Walmart giftcards, physical or virtual (like given by Gyft) and rent or buy movies. Usually a movie with UHD or HDX costs around $15USD. While renting is normally around $5USD but can be less on deals. Personally I buy the movies just in case I want to see them again. I like Vudu because you can watch/download the movies on iOS, Android, PC and on the web.

How many have I bought?

So far I bought 8 movies, and have rented 2. Some I have watched on my own, and others with my family. This is a good way to watch movies you see reviews for from me and @lost108. Also for a limited time if you sync your Vudu account with MoviesAnywhere (which syncs all of your movies) you get "The Fate of The Furious", "The Martian", and "Happy Feet" for free!!! I'm still yet to watch them, but they look good :smiley: .

Thanks for reading! Check out @lost108's blog for many great movie reviews, that you can watch with Bitcoin!!! Also did you know I have a witness on Whaleshares, @kennybll-witness. Why not vote for me and others? Head over to /~witnesses and vote away.
