Movie renting companies are clashing with each other with the availability of getting movies quick and cheap. Blockbuster Online and Netflix rival over the internet. The only thing Blockbuster has over Netflix are stores. Netflix gives their users the option of downloading the movie straight to your computer. Both companies offer a free trial of which ever program they have. The Red Box is also gaining popularity. Redbox is only $1 dollar a night, with no late fee's. The only thing about Redbox is...you can only fit so many titles in that one little red box. Each rental company has their ups and downs, pros and cons.

So TMG, where do you rent your movies?


Do you favor one over the other?

Hollywood video because they have a very nice foreign and horror section, at least the one I go to does. And all rentals are 5 days.

I rent from Netflix because there are no late fees so you can have a movie for as long as you want whee
The only draw back is if you receive a movie and then send it back the very next day, you wont get another one until around four+ days later stare Its because they figure you can wait a little longer than the people who keep their movies for say, like a week. So its almost pointless to send the DVD back right away and expect to get one in two days. Maybe not everyones Netflix is like this, but the one that ships to Northern Cali. is razz

You can do the same thing with the blockbuster online. You can also take the movies you get at your house and take them to the blockbuster store and get free movies for every envelope you get them. So you can watch your free one while you wait for your online one to come in the mail.

I rent most movies at BlockBuster, because my mom won't buy any movies anymore.

I see I am the first voter for Movie Gallery.

I guess it, after all, isn't the most popular movie store out there. But it is all we have in town, after Majestic Video, like a lot of other crappy buildings in my hometown, burned down. wahmbulance

Oh yeah, last Thursday there was a small fire in the walk-in freezer at the Dairy Queen in town. The restaurant is currently closed indefinately.

But to stay on subject, I remember Majestic Video before it burned down. They had a nice 5 for 5 for 5 deal. That means five movies for five nights for five dollars.

They also have a Red Box at the Wal-Mart and McDonald's now, so we rent some from there from time to time.
