Buying on Demand !

I have just got a new V6 box & like it a lot, I have just found out that I can buy "Game of Thrones" through On Demand.... Does anyone know how much this will cost me.

You are talking about the Virgin Store Mike as if it is series 7 its £16.99 for the full series and the others series 1 to 6 are between £19,99 and £23,99 which is the same price as Amazon and Sky l believe.

It won't be out on TV until spring 2019 so won't be available to pre-order until then or after.

Re: Buying on Demand !

The advantage of buying through the Virgin Media store is that, as well as getting the DVDs through the post, it is also available to watch forever on V6 and 4 other devices.
I used this to both watch a movie we wanted to watch on V6 and gift the DVD to someone at Christmas.

By then, rumour has it that Sky Atlantic will be on VM, in which case no need to purchase.

Re: Buying on Demand !

Thanks but that doesn't really answer whether digital only is an option on movies along with the DVD option.

As far as I know, no.

But the prices for the movies are aligned to other digital stores, so you're basically getting the DVD for free.

For instance Thor: Raganrok is £13.99 on Virgin Media Store with the DVD being sent. It's also £13.99 on Amazon, and that is Digital only.

That tells me which one is the better value and that is Virgin Media Store.

Re: Buying on Demand !

The majority on Amazon seem to be £9.99 HD digital only as opposed to £13.99 on Virgin Store.

A few examples Ripsaw , Kingsman (Golden Circle)

Many of the Disney and Marvel films are of the £13.99 variety sadly MM.

I wasn't purely referring to Disney/Marvel I was on about all recent releases

Re: Buying on Demand !

Does it really matter? Anyone with any sense will shop around for whatever they want to buy. Don't like VM's offering? Feel free to go elsewhere.

I really cannot see what your issue is.

Re: Buying on Demand !

I don't have an issue I was asking a question. I always search multiple sources , my reply was to the statement that the service is priced the same as competitors who offer digital only.

To be fair I wasn't even aware non Virgin subscribers could use the service so it's another source to compare.

They can, although the only TV option for the digital content is via the V6 or TiVo boxes.

Re: Buying on Demand !

Any plans to offer Blu-ray (at least) with digital purchases does anyone know?

We're two generations on from DVD nowadays and I'm sure a fair few customers, like myself, would pay a few more quid for the Blu-ray instead.
