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.

Just to point out the TV Series are digital purchases only.

DVDs are sent for films only.

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

Is digital only an option on Virgin Media Store for movie purchases ?

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.

Re: Buying on Demand !

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.
