    "To play videos, you need a web browser that supports Silverlight
    Try using the latest version of Internet Explorer."…

    Not too sure how that business model is going to work out for them.

    I'm trying to download the file.

    It says "You own this movie & can download it to this device."

    And wait.

    Still waiting …

    About 10 minutes later … Downloading at 10 Mbps.

    About 4,460.3 Mb.

    Ozbargained? Epic fail by Microsoft… there's no purchase button or anything all I can see are the circling dots of doom ;)

    Edit: OK, so I was trying to use Chrome… lols

      Hahaha

    • Who would have thought it's so hard to download a movie with Chrome!

  • Is this the Russian film Viy or definitely the English release?

    • Two main actors are English, so I am going with English.

      Started watching it, dubbed poorly. So this is Russian then…

  • Never heard of it, most likely terrible

      Currently a 36% Rating on rotten tomatoes and 5.4 on imdb. Most likely rubbish. From what I can see there's two cast members who aren't Russian

      • Lol… I guess free aint cheap enough then

        Who the flippin heck is upvoting this bulldust ?

      • Haven't watched it yet but most of the reviewers are disliking it for not being about Viy, which was it's alternative title, so they could be much too biased to be reliable. Some reviewers that reviewed it independent of the previous movie of that same title are much more positive about it.

      • The Rotten Tomatoes rating is from users - there is no tomatometer yet as there are only 4 professional reviews (of which 3 are positive).

  • This it?

    Does not look like it is worth the price.

    How do you watch it on your Xbox?

    Can it be downloaded onto the Xbox?

  • My god, this service is the worst. I had so much trouble trying to watch the last rental I got. Eventually I got it working but every 15 minutes or so it would come up with an error and I'd have to reload the video and skip to the spot I was at. I gave up eventually because I realised I had already seen the film.

    Having said all that, I'd have to hand in my ozbargain card if I passed on it since it's free. So…yeah…here I go again :P

  • It's getting some terrible reviews, which means that I'll probably love it.

    • Lol, let us know :)

      Not sure I want to commit to ~2 hours

  • Doesn't show up in the Video app on Windows 8.1. Working fine on Windows 10 though.

  • Guys, is it still free? It's telling me that I have to pay :/
