And yet again, another service that is bound to the bullshit of I’m in Canada and we end up getting only a sliver of what content is available in the US :(
Media without borders people! That or someone needs to come up with an iOS app that will spoof its location.
Just crashes on startup for me.
not much chop here in Australia either :(
Use VPN
The Davinci Code has 14 commercials and Easy Rider has 8. Seinfeld episode had 4. No lessons learned and nothing new offered to the consumer. Thanks but no thanks Sony – I’ll be deleting this app.
I really like the app, because it allows me to watch full-length movies on-demand streaming straight into my iPad.
I think it’s just awesome!
I’ve posted a quick review showing some screenshots comparing how the app would look like on both the iPad and the IPhone here: http://bit.ly/dJZzQH
I hope they continue providing great service within the app by releasing new movies on a regular basis. That would be great!
Do you expect this stuff to be free? Of course there are commercials, but it still beats commercial TV. And I can watch on my phone. Kids there days!
Wow old commercial TV on my mobile! How novel!
I love commercials so much that I would prefer to watch
nothing but commercials when I watch a movie.
It would be just one big commercial but it would be called a movie. Oh wait, Hollywood already features products in movies
so I don’t need any MORE commercials in my movie. I get commercial free FREE movies at
dishonline.com and I watch them when I have time which is usually when I’m
checking my work email from home or I’m on Facebook, America’s OTHER time
waster. Never-the-less I don’t have to
log into my employee account but when I do I can set my DVR or watch even more
free movies and TV shows. Perhaps
Crackle could learn a less or two from what people really want which is
commercial free programming.
