This seems to be OK but the only point that I’m rethinking on is that we lose the credits if it is not used within 4 months of activation. Surely, it’s a great loss if we are unable to find time.

I have a hard enough time choosing between next generation consoles, let alone another box that is dedicated strictly to movies.
