General Infos:
- Hiring costs from 1.99 and buying costs from 7.99 per title, but initially HD films will only be available to rent.
- Incidentally, renting means you have the film for 14 days but only have 48 hours to watch the content once you press play. Films can be transferred to PSP for viewing on the train or while walking to work and crossing busy roads.
