Yeah, from my understanding, Aladdin has gone back into the "Disney Vault" and won't be available for a number of years.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Yeah, vudu won't allow you to search for movies that it no longer sells, even if you own it. You would have to go into your collection to find it (or go directly to the page through a link like above)

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

you're talking about physical copy? cause digital is obviously still available...

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

oh, i see. glad i got when i did then! you can sort by alpha and found it that way. that sucker has 56 fucking extras! that's crazy. who needs LE Blu...

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

The Disney/Touchstone sale is now available on Microsoft Movies & TV.

I redeemed a bunch of Bing Rewards points and got some free movies.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

I bought the stage version of Newsies on Amazon because it had bonus content that other sites didn't. I did get the vanilla version on other services via MA, though.

Yeah, that's standard for most services, I think.

The annoying thing is when a service replaces a version of a movie. I'll see the new version with a prompt to purchase, which may trick me into a re-buy unless I remember I already own it and dig into my collection to find the old version.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

I’ve never really looked into Bing Rewards. Do we/you have a cheat sheet on using it?

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

It's actually Microsoft Rewards. You get points for using Bing search engine, doing daily quizzes, and shopping at the Microsoft Store. You won't get rich overnight, but eventually they add up. I usually cash in once or twice a year and get store credit to buy a free game.

https://account.microsoft.com/rewards/

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

I use it to get a $5 Amazon GC every 20 days or so.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Thanks guys. I’m somehow level 2 and have a few thousand points, despite never using Bing or seeing these reward quizzes before today. I guess my very limited Xbox activity has been earning me points somehow. But cool, i’ll try to remember to check this each day, and do some bing searches instead of google.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

I usually just go to the news section and click on the headers for the various sections. Around the sports section, I’ve fulfilled my daily searches.

For mobile, I just type in the alphabet up to T.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

I do the same thing. It gives me a good review of the day's news. I also check the rewards page. There's always a couple quick 10 Point items. If I have time, I do the quizzes.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

On topic, the Amazon 99 cent sale seems to be continuing, and looks like perhaps a few new additions.

Sorry about temporarily turning this into a Microsoft Rewards points thread, but three more quick things:

1- This is really quick and easy and I’m sad that I haven’t been accumulating free gift cards all along. Maybe two minutes a day to max out the points and get a $5 giftcard every two weeks.
2- I see they have 20 bonus points a day for searching with Edge.
3- Yesterday searching on iOS Safari gave me my 150 PC search and my 100 mobile search points, but today I can’t seem to get the mobile points. Tried several browsers and apps.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Yep, and if you get a streak going you get bonus points every 5-7 days.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

One last thing about the Microsoft Rewards. There are cheating sites and bots that will run in the background and do the Bing search for you. DO NOT USE THESE. Microsoft will ban you from the Rewards program. They can tell the difference between bots doing random searches, and real human search patterns.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

I used credits for some of my kids' favorites: Princess Diaries 1 and 2, Confessions of a Shopaholic, When in Rome.

Interesting that no service appears to have the first two High School Musicals, just the third one (which played in theaters) and the concert.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

High School Musical
High School Musical 2

I don't think they're MA titles, though.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

The first two HSM are made-for-TV Disney Channel movies. So they don't qualify for Movies Anywhere. iTunes has them in the TV Shows section.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-seaso...al/id791759881
https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-seaso...-2/id791766415


Unless you need them right now, I'd wait. They frequently go on sale for $5.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Thanks! I had just checked Vudu and Xbox.

That's a good point about titles like these being categorized as either movies or TV. It's still weird, though, that Vudu and Xbox don't have them in either category. Maybe some kind of legacy thing with iTunes and Amazon.

I don't really need them to buy them as I still have them on disc, and it's not like my kids regularly watch them anymore. The fact that they're not MA is another strike.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

For some reason, Vudu doesn't carry any Disney Channel content. There might be a few exceptions. But almost all the TV shows and movies are missing.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Hmm, interesting. Same with Xbox, though I'm pretty sure it was there at some point. Maybe they're migrating it off even the paid services in anticipation of their own service.

The inconsistency is probably another thing to add to the "annoying things about streaming" thread. :)

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Just did a search on the Amazon $0.99 titles and discovered different titles now.

Not necessarily more. Some titles are no longer $0.99. Other titles that weren't $0.99 before are now

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Anything worth recommending?

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Special When Lit : The Pinball Documentary

Ozzy Osborne : Memories of a Madman (4 1/2 hr documentary)

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Special When Lit's been on there a while. I think the list, when sorting by "featured" fluctuates a lot, with titles moving up and down the list. There's 140 pages now, so definitely more titles than when I last checked.

I'm on the fence about getting the Trancers trilogy. It seems like the sort of film I'd have loved in the 80s, but I've never seen them

Some things I found:

Tristram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story - a very meta movie featuring the combination of Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, and Michael Winterbottom, who later worked on "The Trip" trilogy of films/shows.

Uncanny - looks like a gender flipped Ex Machina.

The Game Changer - Set in 1930s Shanghai, the trailer just looks gorgeous.

Painted Skin: The Resurrection - Chinese fantasy action film

Done the Impossible - Documentary about Firefly & Serenity

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

If you like Hallmark Channel movies, we've been tracking deals in the Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas thread.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

They've added Paul Simon Live at Hyde Park.


Looks and sounds great. I was worried that it was after his voice went but it sounds like this was before that thankfully.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Forgive me, since I only search through Amazon videos when I have credit. And especially when they are about to expire. But how do you find a list of the 99 cent titles? I'm looking all over, but apparently not in the right place.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

I've been missing out on the rock-concert bandwagon so I just got the Paul Simon and U2 concerts.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B01DOE8OVA/

Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, & Yngwie Malmsteen

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Plus I’ve had the link in the thread’s wiki for a week or so.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

I just found out that Justwatch can lists the Amazon $0.99 titles, in a big list of just pictures, a bit faster to scroll through. Includes SD titles.

A few more I've found

Three by Johnnie To

Yasmine - looks like a Indonesian Karate Kid

Orson Welles' Don Quixote (1992) (SD Only) - this is a 1992 attempt to complete this unfinished film.

David, if you haven't found it yet, I think you might like the Josh Groban sings Broadway HD performance, from a PBS Special

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Thanks for posting. Grabbed for my wife.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

I know you're talking to another Dave, but thanks for posting this. It looks good, so I grabbed it.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

Darn it, Decker, I was just trying to establish my cool cred when you throw this at me. I bought it, but I also bought a couple Springsteens to go with it. So there! ;)

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

The new Pupper Master movie is $0.99 at Amazon. It just came out today, so this is obviously a misprice. The reviews are surprisingly good. Grab it quick.

Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018)

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 

I'll buy that for .99 cents!
