We will buy either a Playstation or a Xbox for my elder sister's daughter, most probably tomorrow.I have always wanted to have a Playstation so I prefer buying a Ps5. YesterdayI started researching Playstation and Xbox, and unfortunately there is an important problem.I've read that PS Store doesn't offer movies anymore, we can't buy movies from PS Store.Are there other options for buying movies for Ps5?(we don't live in USA so for example Vudu is out of question).We don't want to subscribe to a movie-streaming service because it's important that my elder sister's daughter must not be able to connect to internet using the console.So we should be able to buy a movie or game using internet but after buying complete we need to shut off the internet connection.
Actually we are trying to cut the girl's internet obsession and trying to redirect her to just games and cartoons
(instead of youtube,tiktok videos), it was recommended by a psychiatrist(long story).
So my question is, since I want to buy a Playstation instead of a Xbox, is it possible to buy movies using Playstation 5 for offline watching?Buying dvds/blurays is out of question, they are no longer sold here.
@MichaelKnight What you'd have to do is install an app for a service which offers buying digital movies without a subscription. Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video are examples of services available on PS5 in which you can create an account and purchase individual movies and TV shows (there might be more, but I've lost track of what apps are available on PS5, sorry).
Having said that, however, I'm not sure if you can download and watch their content offline; you might need to be signed in (a.k.a. online) to be recognised. Check and see if that's possible on PS5. If it is, and if physical media isn't an option, then that'd be your only answer.
