Don't Rent or Buy!
My son sent me an Amazon gift card for $50 on Mother's Day to watch all 5 seasons of Fringe (he having a PhD in English:Film Studies and we both loving sci-fi). He researched the series and it was 9.99 each season, therefore equaling the $50 gift card. So I could ONLY rent, yes rent, the first season because it was on a 30-day rental period - or I would have bought or rented the ENTIRE five seasons at that time. I even went past the 30-day period because I was traveling so I individually purchased the last 2 episodes of Season 1. Then, lo and behold, I paid 9.99 for Season 2 and was informed on the SCREEN that I now "owned it." Okay, whatever - I just wanted to watch the series, which I adored. I finished it and when I went to buy or rent Season 3 - whoa! The price was now 29.99 and Season 4 and 5 the same. That is $90!! I just wanted to watch Fringe originally - was DENIED the right to purchase all at the beginning - and now I had to own and had to pay a huge amount to boot. I would call that a total SCAM since the entire series in May was listed at 9.99 per season. SCAM. I am still awaiting an answer from AMAZON on why they are letting the 3 content owners SCAM a good customer like that. I would like to be able to rent or purchase Season 3, 4 and 5 at the original price that was posted - 9.99 each! Shame on you 3 fellows for drawing a customer in and then sticking it to them. Signed, 70 year old Seattle native who watched the beginnings of Amazon in the old vet building and until now had believed they were a good thing.
