Hello.

If I buy a movie that is also part of a bundle, is it possible to get the rest of the bundle at a later date for a reduced price, or does it all have to be bought outright?

My specific example - looking to buy 2001, interested in the entire Stanley Kubrick collection, not too willing to spend all the money right now.

Thanks.

It's too bad they don't offer this. It's especially strange since they offer it for music and apps on the iTunes Store. Missing out on some sales IMO (they are from me, anyway).

Me too. I think they should also offer a rent to buy discount. Movies are normally around 14.99 or 19.99 to buy. And the HD Rent is normally 5.99. Would be nice to apply the rental (or portion) to purchase if you liked the movie (maybe with a time limit). Of course maybe they would make less sales because of the lack of good movies over the past number of years :)

This actually exists already, some movies that you rent give you a discount to purchase the movie (within the 24hour window after you started the movie) but why it isn't like this for all movies I don't know.

I have never seen this. Do you know where that shows up? Do you get an email? I do get an email that I rented the movie but I do not read it carefully.
