Do you rent movies in a store or online?  |
|
I've seen it in the news that the Blockbuster chain is going to be closing approximately 1/3 of their stores in the United States. It seems like online movie rentals from Netflix have made movie rental stores just about obsolete. I'm sure there are still people who rent from stores, though, otherwise Blockbuster would be closing all of their stores. Are you a person who still uses a movie rental store, or have you jumped on the Netflix bandwagon?

1. alyssakenzie (410) | 4 months ago | For the most part I just rent my movies off of my cable and avoid having to mess with anything but watching it!! I rent from redbox off and on and love being able to get any movie for a dollar a night!! I can't remember the last time that I actually went to a movie store to rent movies and when I do I always go to a home town one instead of any of the big chains. Blockbuster is coming up with a lot of ideas though to compete and I am sure that they will be around for a long time to come. It is sad that a lot of people will be losing their jobs with the store closings but that seems to be something we are all getting all to familiar with.

thyst07 (1068) | 4 months ago | We stopped getting cable service a couple of months ago to save money. We didn't really use it much, and a Netflix subscription is cheaper than keeping the cable just to watch movies. But I agree that pay-per-view movies are really convenient.

2. OrangJuice (442) | 4 months ago | Oh, I just rent disks only once about 8 years ago. At that period, I usually found movies and TV shows via TV. Then rent it from store. But now, in east coast of China, ADSL is so common (almost all natives here can surf on the net at home by ADSL), so I don't do it again. I always watch them online. And if they're classic for me, I will buy them for collection. But mostly I'd like to download on my computer.

thyst07 (1068) | 4 months ago | I watch streaming video online from Netflix or Hulu once in a while, but downloading just takes too long and takes up too much storage space on my computer. But downloading is one more reason why brick-and-mortar stores are going out of business.

3. AniruS (155) | 4 months ago | I rent movies online, and to be precise from Netflix. I did tryout Blockbuster for a while but I do not have enough time to go to the store. Also it is very disappointing when you go to the score and find out that the movie that you want to see is not available in the store. According to me it is a waste of time and effort. Through Netflix, you can choose your movie and it arrives in the mail. The only disadvantage with netflix is that you may be in a situation without a movie but that is now taken care by netflix online streaming.
Online streaming is the way where we are now heading to and Netflix has already started creating a space for itself. I do not see Blockbuster making any efforts for this. I am sure if Blockbuster does not provide service as per customer requirements there will be a day when it will have to close down all its shops.

thyst07 (1068) | 4 months ago | I agree with you. Blockbuster is not doing well as a business because they simply aren't keeping up in terms of customer service, pricing, and availability. They do have their online movie rentals like Netflix, but it costs about $4 more per month, so why use it? Their in-store rentals are more expensive and less convenient than Netflix, too. I think the only way they could compete at this point is to make themselves less expensive than Netflix and, like you said, add online streaming video to their service.

4. alatecablebill (500) | 4 months ago | several years ago, i was into renting movies from vcd/dvd stores. but eversince i learned how to download films from the internet, i never rented again. i guess downloading is much cheaper than renting.
| |
| |
|
|
thyst07 (1068) | 4 months ago | Downloading is cheaper, but you have to be careful that the movies you're downloading are legitimate and legal. I've seen so many lawsuits over illegally downloaded materials that I just don't think it's worth the risk.

5. antarcticpostcards (439) | 4 months ago | I rent from Netflix. I love being able to get the more obscure stuff that the video store never has. They just carry the new releases and hot movies and especially in the kids section always stink at refreshing the content. I also like being able to see television shows and movies through Netflix Instant.

thyst07 (1068) | 4 months ago | My husband and I love to watch foreign horror films, and most video stores just don't have a wide selection. With Netflix, we have so many more options! Wow, I sound like a Netflix advertisement.

| 6. Amasid (24) | 4 months ago | I watch movies online or download it,it's just more practical if u think of it

|
|
thyst07 (1068) | 4 months ago | I find that I cat get a wider variety of movies through Netflix than by simply downloading online, especially looking for legal downloads. Downloads are convenient, but I often don't find what I'm looking for available for download.

| 7. yadavamith123 (67) | 4 months ago | For me i download my movie from internet,there are many site that provide movie oonline,it not cost you anything you find your movie at home. it not make you to tense for anything,you got ur movie free of cost.

thyst07 (1068) | 4 months ago | Generally, if it's free, I have serious doubts as to whether it's legitimate. I can think of a few sites, like Hulu, that do have legal rights to the movies they provide, but generally the selection of movies is small and they don't have new releases.

8. msinfo79 (165) | 4 months ago | OMG this is a great post. I used to go to Blockbuster until they closed down in my area. Now I use netflix and blockbuster on line.
| |
| |
|
|
thyst07 (1068) | 4 months ago | Can I ask why you use blockbuster online in addition to Netflix? Do they have a feature that Netflix doesn't have?
| |
|
|
msinfo79 (165) | 4 months ago | yeah blockbuster comes out with new movies faster, and netflix is cheaper. so I only use blockbuster for the new releases.

9. mikeysmom (2000) | 4 months ago | i used to but with all the free movies on demand on comcast why bother spending the extra money. we do not have money for such things anyway so we stick to videos and dvds we already have or free on demand movies. once in awhile we go to the movies but always the matinee to save money and we never buy food there as it is too expensive.
| |
| |
|
|
thyst07 (1068) | 4 months ago | On-demand movies aren't actually free though, you still have to pay for the cable service.:-) If it's something you're paying for anyway, then you're right, it's a great way to get movies. I didn't like the limited selection, though, when I had cable.

10. magickat (308) | 4 months ago | Online rentals are so much better - no late fees and easy to return. Lots of free trials available too. If you don't live near a town then it's an ideal solution. 'm not surprised stores are closing down.
| |
| |
|
|
thyst07 (1068) | 4 months ago | I hate late fees! So online rentals are great. A lot of video stores have gotten rid of their late fees, but they're still more expensive than online rentals.
