Suggestion - Gruv

[Zankul1982]

Hey all. I don't know if this ask is even possible, but certain sites other than the places to actually stream often offer great prices on movies. Case in point Gruv has Joe Kidd for 4.99 where it is still 14.99 at the retailers. I know it would be impossible to add too many different sites. But I think Gruv specifically constantly has movies at prices equal to the lowest they ever are.

So TLDR
I want to add GRUV as a website we can track with.

Good idea I linked your post in the Improvements thread for more visibility

So you want to start adding studio stores that offer digital content when no others are shown?

I don't know what you mean by studio store. They only sell movies that redeem at MA. But you buy the codes and then redeem at MA. They have sales just like Vudu and google, and often have great prices. But like everywhere else, not always. And sometime it's on sale on gruv but not elsewhere. And since it's an MA movie, doesn't matter what service you use to watch as you'll get it all.

Don't 6 out of the 9 "retailers" in the Deals section only offer digital content?

iTunes
Google Play
Microsoft Store
Prime video
Vudu
Steam

Or are you saying that wouldn't be fair to WB, Paramount, etc if we add Gruv/Universal?

GRUV is Universal’s storefront.

Not fair is true and Criterion and Shout and Vinegar Syndrome and others that stream and sell discs, but why stop there when you have no limits. Gruv/Universal is not Digital only like the studios you cited. iTunes, Google Play, Microsoft Store, Prime, and VUDU are not studios. Thought Steam was a Video Game distribution site and didn't "often offer great prices on movies" but may be mistaken as I don't use it. I use this site for movies and not games (weird I guess). Was just giving my opinion on the suggestion. You gave yours. We see the purpose of bluray.com differently.

So we can't question people anymore to get an understanding on things?

I told the OP his suggestion was a good idea... That doesn't mean that I see blu-ray.com any differently than you do Gruv has deals on their stuff. So does others that we don't include in the Deals section. Why can't we make a case for all of them?

Learn something new everyday. Yeah seems all the sale items are universal movies (only checked about 10 movies).

Still, if your out to buy digital movies. A place that offers sales on said movies is still useful. So if all the studios have a storefront, and they offer sales that that don't coincide with the other digital retailers, would it not be worth it to add them here too.

https://digitalmoviedeals.nbcuniversal.com is another one where I've found deals not available on any other sites.
