Oh yes… I love to rent movies. I rarely buy them because when I do I watch then one time and then they sit on the shelf or get stolen… The good movies anyways.
But why does there have to be a struggle with renting movies? Oh, I just know all you hipsters understand what I’m sayin. You rent one from blockbuster, watch it and then take it back and then you recieve a little telephone call ( or not) and then they hit your bank account..
Hey, I already brought that movie back… You dig?
So you go up to the store and and say… You guys took the money out of my bank account for a movie that I already brought back… Well, we can’t see on our computer what the main office is doing. They really just don’t have any answers for me. Oh wait…Here it is… We have a some new employees.
Sure…always blame it on the new guy.
I thought I’d give redbox a try…It’s cheap and seems easy enough. I set up an account online and reserved a movie. I went to go pick it up and it didn’t work… “Can’t dispense movie at this time” Of course it hit my bank account anyways.
So. Guess I may try a mail order service… I got a really good feeling about that one.
Netflix Rules… their fulfilment center is one day away so the movies are a 3 day round trip. Not to mention their Streaming choices are getting better every day. Been a loyal customer for years.
Indeed. I been there before… Never had any problems… I was looking into them again recently… The “streaming” thing. I wonder what it takes to make that happen. I would assume you would need some new hardware or a TV with some kind of networking capabilities. 🙁
You can watch on the PC/Laptop or here is an evergrowing list of supported devices:

We can buy a movie on Amazon, it downloads to our Tivo in about 15-30 minutes, we have about 3 days to watch it, before its deleted. We dont have cable, just Tivo, its awesome !.
