Guba Drops TV, Movie Download Prices
Social video site Guba, which recently penned deals with Warner Bros and Sony Pictures to offer television shows and movies through the site, said it will offer for a limited time a significant discount on its premium content. Whereas the normal price of movie rentals, older movies and new releases was formerly $1.79, $9.99 and $19.99 USD, respectively, the promotional price would be 99 cents per rental, and $4.99 to download older movies with new releases priced at $9.99.
The duration of the promotion was not disclosed. Guba uses Windows Media digital rights management in order to provide its download service, which means videos cannot be viewed on Apple's video iPod. However, users would be able to view content on Windows PCs and portable media devices that support the format.
