Rent, buy digitally or get a DVD or Blu-ray?
Rent for a single viewing
A digital rental is the straightforward choice if you want to watch once. Compare the listed price and rental window at checkout; the availability pages do not establish a single price or viewing period that applies across stores.
Buy digitally for access through a store
Buying digitally avoids renting the title again through that storefront, but the purchase is subject to the selected retailer’s account and terms. Do not assume a digital purchase is portable between services; check the store’s conditions and supported playback options.

Choose a disc for a physical copy
