[News] Video Ezy Launches On Demand Platform
Video Ezy, a previously “old-fashioned” video store, has decided to get with the times and launch an On Demand rental service. This is a pay-per-view platform, so you cannot pay a single price and have “all-you-can-eat” movies and TV shows.
By hiring a new release movie on Video Ezy On Demand, you will be paying $6.99 for standard definition and $7.99 for high definition. TV shows can only be bought outright, and costs $2.99 per episode for SD, and $3.49 for HD.
Access to Video Ezy’s On Demand system is available through your standard web browser, through an app exclusively on Samsung Smart TVs, through Android and iOS apps and on a Chromecast. Video Ezy says that not all shows are available to be streamed via the Chromecast at the moment.
Russel Clark, Joint Managing Director of Video Ezy International says that they are very happy to have finally added a ‘modern piece of tech’ to their ‘brick and mortar’ stores.
“The directors are delighted to be in a position to add further value to our 90 franchised ‘bricks and mortar’ stores throughout New Zealand with the exciting addition of VideoEzyOnDemand to our brand.”
Clark adds:
“This is an exciting new phase for our business. By introducing Video On Demand we are giving Video Ezy franchisees the opportunity to embrace future technology with a model that blends the best of bricks and mortar and digital channels.
“Video Ezy and its franchisees have a distinct advantage over any competitor in the online field. We are ‘the movie people’, with the expertise and a vast data base of movie lovers built up over more than 20 years.
“We also have an extremely strong backing from all New Zealand based DVD/movie distributors who have expressed great excitement, and pledged support, at the prospect of VideoEzyOnDemand entering the New Zealand online market.
“They also see VideoEzyOnDemand as a legal alternative to illegal downloading which affects so many jobs and the New Zealand economy in general,” says Clark.
