Free Christmas movie via Google Play - "Elf". SD version only.

This deal isn't for everyone as you will need:

  • US VPN access (required to "buy" and watch the movie)
  • a credit card not already associated to an AU address
  • 5 minutes

These are the steps I followed and it worked for me.

  • Download and install Tunnel Bear and set it to US.
  • Click buy and load a new credit card with a US post code eg. 90210

Please don't neg vote based on the fact it isn't "available in Australia". I'm watching it quite fine.

Good luck.

    Anyone who doesn't agree that this is the greatest Christmas movie ever is just a cotton-headed ninnymuggins.

          "The Long Kiss Goodnight"! Hell yeah!

        • imp on 21/12/2013 - 23:59

          the original die hard ….

        • blahman on 22/12/2013 - 11:21

          The Original and the best Christmas movie is Life of Brian

      You're just too young. Rankin Bass classics take that title in this household!

    • imcold on 22/12/2013 - 02:13

      I would say it would be top 10.. I remember seeing this movie twice a few years ago so it must be ok if were to watch something twice.

      Then again I remember absolutely nothing from the movie right now

    I think it'd be cheaper at JB on Boxing Day…

      Cheaper than free?

      • NeggerOfDeals on 21/12/2013 - 18:44

        It's not free if you're paying for a VPN to get it. And a credit card with an interest rate. I'd rather pick it up for $5 on DVD on Boxing Day.

          if you want it for free there are many ways you can get it i guess and for an old piece of crap movie i dont think its a big deal

        • Forgot69 on 21/12/2013 - 18:47

          Tunnel Bear = Free
          Credit Card - Only used for verification, doesn't get charged aka, Free.
          Boxing Day Sale ≠ Christmas Day or now.
          $5 ≠ Free!

      • demiurge on 21/12/2013 - 19:47

        My one and a half hours is worth more than free.

    … or you could just hit a torrent site.

  • Elijha on 21/12/2013 - 18:56

    rent or own .. its not clear.

    • Forgot69 on 21/12/2013 - 19:01

      Linked source says:

      Google is giving you the chance to own it this year free of charge, but for a limited.

    I have seen this movie. Even at 'free', it's not worth it

    Lame old ass movie. Poo

  • R00D on 21/12/2013 - 21:26

    Will Ferrell = Lame. Not funny at all.. Unless of course you're into grown men acting like children.

      I enjoyed watching Elf more than watching the House of Representatives on ABC.

  • silverrat23 on 21/12/2013 - 22:01

    Dang! Can't fulfill the third criteria!

  • TheAviator on 21/12/2013 - 22:30

    So do we need to create a new Google account to make this work?

    • Forgot69 on 21/12/2013 - 22:44

      No, just add a credit card with a US post code. Technically I'm sure you could remove and re-add an existing card too.

    Is faking your location somehow more ethical than downloading it on bittorrent?
    I cannot see the point. Isn't this petty fraud? At least pirates are not lying.

    • COR80 on 22/12/2013 - 01:01

      It's another one of those ozbargain oddities; torrents are verboten but it's no problem at all to encourage the unlocking of (carrier-subsidised) mobile phones despite this being strictly against the terms and conditions of purchase.

    • imp on 22/12/2013 - 01:14

      Is charging twice the price to some customers based on their location ethical?

      • COR80 on 22/12/2013 - 02:44
        -1

        I think whether or not it's "ethical" is beside the point once someone elects to agree with the t&c as a condition of purchase, forming a contract; no one is forced to do this.

        • bargaino on 22/12/2013 - 11:20
          +1

          So you think technicalities, in a document that nobody reads or enforces, override all consideration of ethics?

          And "elects to agree" - are you kidding? There is a massive power imbalance. Have you ever tried renegotiating the conditions with a mega-corporation? Nobody even reads them, because there is no point.

          Look at a real contract, and the Weinsteins suing newline over Hobbit royalties for example. Hollywood is, I must admit, an ethics-free zone, and lawyers paradise.
