That's Not News!

Wasn't sure where to post this as I am referring to the marketing strategy rather than the game itself but if you fast forward to 3:50, early adopters will get the season pass for free.
Youtube VideoI've never seen this approach before and, as a cheapass who often waits for complete editions or at least for the core game to go on sale, this makes buying this game early waaaay more tempting.

Is anybody aware of the existence of this service?!
https://www.criterionchannel.com/
It's most of the entire Criterion Collection available to stream with all special features and director commentary available in USA and Canada for $99/yr or 10.99/mo. This is an unbelievable deal considering how most of these movies are very good and its cheaper than Netflix where most of the movies are not great.
By contrast, my local record store has the Criterion Collection "Lone Wolf and Cub" on Blu Ray on sale for $120 and nobody has bought the two copies in two years. I can get those movies PLUS thousands to stream for even LESS than my record store is selling one physically.

Yeah, it's great. Been using it since it came out. Probably the best streaming service for films.My favorite thing about it is the wealth of films that aren't on the Criterion Collection and actually haven't ever been available on physical media in the West from any publisher. There's a lot of Japanese stuff especially that fits that bill.

I’m mostly into the Italian and French stuff but I’m beyond excited to finally watch Lone Wolf and Cub after all of these years. It’s been on my radar for over a decade but torrents and releases have been hard to come by.
One thing... I hear there is weird DRM and you can’t hook your laptop up to your TV and use the app. True?

@dipset
Ah, well there's a pretty good selection of French and Italian stuff too!I've heard that users have had problems going laptop to TV, yeah. I have a roku, so it's something I haven't tried personally.

@ringedwithtile Is Kurosawa's stuff on there?

@Capnbobamous
Yes, everything he directed except for Kagemusha and Rhapsody in Augustedit: and The Quiet Duel, but that's an easy one to forget

So recently been playing around with an actual stream setup, and so far the only thing that was a pain was PS3.
Welp I just got my PS3 to play nice with it and I've got a few games I've been wanting to play that I either never got around to or been wanting to revisit.
-
Looking back from gameplays I seen around the time the game came out, I always thought that Driver San Francisco is an oddity (that I regretfully didn't get to play). Now I know that's not even scratching the surface of it, thanks to this. I hope it gets relisted someday.

@bam541 Thank you for reminding me about this game! Just ordered a copy off eBay immediately after seeing this post - on PS3.
