Hello libertyz,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We've reviewed your posting and it looks like you have questions about the rental vs buying process of movies in iTunes. It's understandable that you'd want this clarified, so allow us to assist with that. Renting a movie and purchasing a movie are two different processes and there is no option to discount the cost of a movie purchase that you’ve rented previously.


The article that your question was linked from is very helpful when you are ready to rent: Rent movies from the Apple TV app.


If you have follow-up questions, please let us know. We're here for you. Have a fantastic day!
