That's cool! I'd be too lazy probably to toggle, though.

Yeah, I’m sure the double release is for the nerds who don’t want the new effects.

I’ve considered TOS at 19.99 so 12.99 was an easy sell. But I do have BD and DVD sets so I’m sure this is my most-purchased series.

I mentioned earlier that Fanflix was using the new titles as clickbait, but I’m sure it’s also the studios saying “I’ll give you this sale if we can also let people know that Here is now available.”

I think the super cheap three-for-$5 was mostly Lionsgate-type stuff, and Warner for example rarely went below $5, but that Clint sale is ridiculous. Catalog titles for $7.99! They’re offering them but not interested in actually selling them.

FanFlix hasn't been so great lately. No more iTunes redemptions and their sales are at least $2-3 more than what they used to be. Even $5 at times.

Apple raised their rates for redemptions. I subscribe to a Patreon for a Podcast and they told everyone to make sure you're subscribed to Patreon via Patreon's website and not the Apple app. Apple starting charging a 30% Apple App store fee for subscriptions via the iOS app and Patreon was going to pass on the charges to people subscribed via the Apple Patreon app. No extra fees if you subscribed through Patreon's website. I believe even the new Paramount disc releases only let you redeem your codes via Fandango At Home now. It's cheaper for companies to redeem via Fandango at Home.

FWIW, my new Galaxy Quest 4K this week gave me an iTunes option on the digital code.

That's a good sign. Major League was Fandango at Home only.

I subscribe to 2 Patreons and I know the first one (and account setup) was done via the web and not the app. I don't recall the second one but probably right thru the app. Apple was even threatening Patreon with app store de-listing over all this.

I prefer iTunes or MA redemption whenever possible... I even skip $4.99 titles on FaH waiting for the title to drop at some point on iTunes. I'll have to keep an eye out on Paramount titles if they don't have iTunes redemptions (like A24 doesn't anymore).

Apple TV's newest Holiday Deal of the Day is Modern Family The Complete Series for $49.99. That's the lowest it's ever been, but I don't think it's much of a deal.

It's not. I bought it for the same price earlier this year - although it may have been one of those "blink and you miss it" incorrect prices.

Seems like the lowest price before this was 60 bucks... you sure you got it at 50?

Anyway 250 episodes so 20 cents an episode is pretty good, it just pales in comparison to some of the other deep discounted shows we've been accustomed to.

I looked at price trackers and $49.99 is the lowest it's been on Apple and Fandango at Home.

I think I got the Complete Series on YouTube for like $10. Great deal, but I don't own anything else on that service. Super inconvenient. Still I am not re-buying it.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 
I picked up BBT a couple years back when it was that price. All these series on Apple TV reminds me of the one issue I have with TV series on Apple TV... Complete series purchases don't unlock the individual seasons. So if you want to watch S9 E12 of a show, you have to scroll thru from S1E1 to find it. Unless someone else has a quicker way?

It is... I paid $24.99 at Thanksgiving. Oh well.

Lowest DS9 has been too (as far as I can remember). Too bad Apple isn't matching (at least not yet today).

Apple only ever price matches the Warner Friday deals. They never match the Paramount or Sony Fanflix TV flash sales.

Man I hate how bad the Fanflix movie descriptions are. A lot of the time, they don't even say who the actors are. I always have to go back and forth and cross reference with VUDU.
Grabbed I'm Not There, The Immigrant, and A Single Man. I've been wanting to see I'm Not There before A Complete Unknown comes out.

I believe Deep Space Nine was never mastered in HD. Thats why it never got a BD release.

TNG’s Blu-ray sales were reportedly not great, so they nixed further ST HD releases.

Edit: Indeed it’s standard def.

Yes... DS9 and Voyager never got HD releases and probably never will.

Debating... I may go ahead and grab DS9 at this price. I have all of the other Trek TV shows (except Lower Decks) digitally. This way I don't need a perpetual Paramount+ sub to have my 'any Trek I want' fix.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 
I bit on DS9 too, as I don’t figure it’ll ever be in HD unless they can do it via AI.

It may be my favorite Trek series but for odd DVD-release-cycle reasons I never saw the final two seasons. I did start a rewatch on P+.

According to the other site, it was available yesterday for a few hours, disappeared and then reappeared. It most likely was supposed to be the deal of the day, but was posted early.

It is the Holiday Deal of the Day. I'm tempted, but under $29.99 is my sweet spot for tv series.

It actually isn't even that great a deal because Apple doesn't have the 4K versions like Fandango at Home.

If you don't have them and are a Bond fan, that's a great price as they are all in 4K.

I got it a few years back when it was $99.99 and 24 movies.

If you don’t already have it or haven’t already seen that’s a great deal for that series. 5 seasons, 22 to 23 episodes for seasons 1 to 4, 13 for final season. One of the best shows CBS released. Jonathan Nolan, Chris’ brother, was the head writer and show runner.

I have all 5 seasons on BD, so I don’t need it. But I highly recommend it if you like action shows with a mythology.
