Hello all!
We've deployed a new software release to the movie store and it has some features I hope people will be excited about.
First, the store will now notify you when a movie on your Wish List goes on sale. These notifications are sent by email and push notification to the mobile app, as well as a bottom-of-screen "toast" notification on the web. The email and push notification include the title or titles of the movies that are on sale. The toast doesn't have room to show the list of titles, but the store will automatically sort items that are on sale to the top of the list so they're still easy to find.
Second, we've improved Superbundles for cases where customers already own a good number of the movies. This is best described with some examples.
Previously, let's say that there was a Superbundle offer with seven movies that are usually $19.99 each, and the offer was "Buy at least four movies and pay only $9.99 each". If you already owned four of the movies, you'd have no way to qualify for the bundle, and if you wanted to buy the three remaining movies, you'd pay $59.97 for those three.
With the new version of the store, it will present a modified bundle offer that will give you a discount if you buy the remaining titles. Your cost to buy the remaining movies will be what you would have paid if you bought the minimum number of titles in the original offer. So, in the case described above, the minimum was 4 movies at $9.99, or $39.96. Since you're buying the three remaining movies, that works out to $13.32 each. You are paying a little more per title, but you still save $20!
I know that some people have asked to be able to just pay the Superbundle price for the remaining movies, but that's not how these offers are structured with the content licensors. The offers are made with the understanding that there's a minimum dollar amount, so this new feature satisfies that requirement while still giving our customers a nice benefit.
If you already own so many of the movies (like, six of the seven) that it's less expensive for you to simply buy the remaining movie(s), then the store will just tell you that you own too many movies to qualify for the offer, and allow you to buy the remaining movies at the un-bundled price.
These new store features are present on the web, and in the latest versions of the iOS and Android apps. Enjoy!
