Do you buy movies or rent them?

[KorvaMeister]

I am wanting to buy Hardcore Henry but do I keep the movie or is it a rental? The discription confuses me on this "Watch this 48-hour rental any time in the next 30 days" do I keep it for 48 hour or 30 days? Seems kinda stupid to rent it.

Since the word *rental* is used in the actual description … I would assume it's a rental.

EDIT: The way I read it -- You have 30 days to START watching the movie, then 48 hours AFTER the start to finish watching the movie.

So I have to watch it within 30 days and 48 hours after watching the movie it's gone?
Why don't they just let you buy the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ movie?

That's down to the film's distributor. If they only want to offer rentals via Steam then that's all they'll offer.

Because its a rental, thats the current price for high end rental. Also, the 30 days/48 hour is a standard seen across amazon/verizon etc.
