Amazon Movies to Rent for $.99 or $1.99

[elbenn]

Amazon often runs specials where they offer a few new releases at special prices. You have 30 days to watch the movies after you "rent" them. Right now, I have some credit for movies for choosing slower shipping speeds (it was a promotion Amazon was running during the holiday season) and I have rented several new releases for $.99 or $1.99.

Water for Elephants $.99
Tree of Life $.99
Cowboys and Aliens $1.99
Midnight in Paris $1.99
The Help $1.99

Yeah...I get the same for the last 3 movies. (I'm guessing the price just increased :shrug:

[elbenn]

Oh, sorry, the price did increase on the last 3 movies. They seem to be running a lot of specials on movies lately, so you might check them daily to see what their current specials are.

Thanks anyway. I did rent Sherlock Holmes for .99 cents.

Water for Elephants is back up to $3.99 too.

Stupid question-how do you watch the movies? Does it have to be done on the computer/laptop?

No, you can watch it on compatible devices (TV, blu-ray, Roku, etc.) that have wi-fi. I watch Amazon VOD on my blu-ray player that came w/the app/widget (whatever it's called ;)). Here is a list of compatible devices: http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/devices

We can watch on our laptop or TiVo, but not on the iPad.

Today's deal is Scream 4 for $.99. They also have the new Winnie the Pooh movie for $1.99.

Not the ipad? Shoot. We all have idevices in our house, so incompatibility with apple is bad. :( I was just about to pay for prime so we could stream too.

I have no problem streaming with a mac. I do not have an ipad though.
