If buy movie only play on Apple devices?

Thinking of splashing out on the Star Wars collection (again! have it on Blu-Ray, DVD, video!), just would be nice to have it digitally as well. However although I am in the Apple eco system, I have iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, iMac, if I buy it on iTunes can I then only play on Apple devices? e.g. in future if I bought an Android phone, I couldn't then play it on that?


Also on an iPhone to watch it do I need to download it first to my iPhone? is it only the Apple TV where it streams? I don't really want to use up 30Gb on my iPhone just so I can have them all on my iPhone.


This collection contains iTunes extras as well, are these the same as the Blu-Ray extras on the discs? are these iTunes extras exclusive to iTunes, e.g. Google play has the movies to, are the extras on there the same?


tbh its a little extravagant of me to get them (they are really expensive), as I say I have them elsewhere, its the convenience of having them digitally though....?...

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

iTunes films can can only be played on computer's iTunes, iOS devices and Apple TV - you won't be able to play it on an android device.


You can stream it from your computer's iTunes to your phone via home sharing (if both are connected to the same wifi network), otherwise it will need to be downloaded onto it.


As for the extras, unless its description page in the store makes it clear what they are, then hopefully somebody else who has bought them will reply.
