Topic: LotR Movie free on Google Play store

For those that don't know, in celebration of the release of the final Hobbit movie, Google Play is giving away Fellowship of the Ring for free (all other LotR merch is discounted as well).

It still asks for a payment method though (although it says this is just to determine location). Is this because I'd still have to pay taxes of some sort? I've never had to pay taxes on anything I've bought on eShop (even paid stuff), so I assume the same would hold true here, but I wanted to be sure.

I mentioned this in the Chit-Chat thread as well, but I figured the news was big enough to get it's own thread.

Good way to promote the new Hobbit movie, I suppose. Anyone who hasn't seen these movies yet though, what are you waiting for? Fellowship of the Ring is one of the greatest films ever made, and Two Towers and Return of the King are fantastic too.

The movies are certainly better than the books

This is a nice little gift

Already have every one on Blu Ray so I probably won't bother redeeming it, but it's nice for those that haven't seen it.

However wrong it may be? Good thing I'm not wrong at all

It's fine if you're into scenery porn with plenty of lore, but if you want character interaction/development you are going to find them sadly lacking. The Hobbit was thoroughly more enjoyable.
