Seems like you guys enjoy posts about ways of cutting costs on your entertainment bills and in this tough economy I can certainly understand why. Well there’s yet another way to save some $$ and that is to take advantage of the 99¢ iTunes movie rentals. Apple typically charges $2.99 and up for movie rentals via iTunes. However, each week they have 99¢ movie specials. If you weren’t paying close attention you would never know these bargains existed as they aren’t always prominently displayed on the iTunes store. However, there is a website (www.99rental.com) complete with an RSS feed that will alert you each week as to which movies are being showcased. Granted, these movies are not new releases and in many cases they are probably movies you’ve already seen, but hey they’re only 99¢ and if they were classics that you liked or movies you hadn’t seen yet it’s a win win situation.Â
You can also go to the top secret 99¢ movie rental page on iTunes here.
Cutting costs in this area is definitely a good idea and luckily I think it’s getting easier as home entertainment options proliferate.
If you’re look for a fresh way to choose what to watch at home, you might have a look at Jinni (http://www.jinni.com) – we recently opened in private beta and offer search and recommendations from the Movie Genome, with some streaming and links to rent and download.
The link to the Top Secret rental page isn’t available for the US market 🙁
