The Trend
More than 2.5 million homes now subscribe to an online movie rental service, typically paying about $20 a month
for unlimited rentals delivered via mail. Before you decide on signing up with an online movie rental service,
we have summarized and highlighted the major decision points for you. We hope you can make an informed decision
based on our research.
How It Works
Step 1 Choose from thousands of DVDs online.
Step 2 Get them in the mail - Free! Keep them as long as you like.
Step 3 Return them on pre-paid envelopes when you are done viewing them.
Why Rent?
Three major reasons: NO Late Fees, NO Long Term Commitment, and FREE Delivery!
Other reasons: Convenience and a wide selections of titles (especially hard to find titles and foreign movies).
Who Do We Recommend?
The larger companies ranked better on availability and speed of delivery. We highly recommended the first and
still the most customer friendly service (movie trailers, reviews, recommendations), Netflix. This earns our Publisher's
Choice 4 Stars Rating .
What Lies In The Future?
Video-On-Demand (VOD) through fast pipes (broadband) but selections are still limited. Watch out for Netflix
and TiVo combination in the near future! If you cannot wait and have a high speed internet connection, check out MovieLink.
