Sears and Kmart now offer a movie-streaming service

Tags: , News

Sears and Kmart have launched Alphaline Entertainment, a movie download service that, like similar services from Best Buy, Amazon, and Wal-mart, offers streaming movies the same day new titles are released in stores. Alphaline is powered by Sonic’s Roxionow backend. Registration is free; rentals are $3.99; purchased titles are $19.95.

You can also still go to a Sears store to pick up a treadmill or washing machine. But you would have to leave the house. [Engadget]

    How can Sears and Kmart ‘team up’ for anything if they’re owned by the same company?

      It’s a little late to the game don’t they know?

    So I can get a monthly membership to NetFlix for $7.95 for all of the on-demand movies I want, or I can use teh new Sears service and pay $3.99 a movie. Wow, I am just not sure.

    They really are idiots at that company, aren’t they?

      While I agree with you that Netfilx would be superior to this, it is worth mentioning that if you dont watch movies very often this could be a better option for you.
      If you only watch 1 movie a month, $3.99 is a better price than $7.99.

      Not that hard to understand.
      BUT… none of those people who watch 1 movie a month or less are gonna post on this website
