How do you rent your movies?
« on: June 07, 2009, 06:35:45 AM »
Just curious.  I do everything except digital download, and Netflix to me is still the best option.  In the end it\'s the cheapest and has the best selection.  Plus it\'s nice to check out the user & professional reviews before I nab something.  The 2-day turnaround is kind of a pita but I\'ve learned to deal with it.

Redbox is a great idea, but the selection is piss poor and the DVDs don\'t seem to have basic functions such as subtitles(correct me if I\'m wrong here).

Hollywood is a straight ripoff @ $6 per blu-ray, but I have a gf and some nights the instant gratification is worth it. ;)

Edit- I see you can only choose one from the poll, can a mod make this multi-select?

Is piracy an option?  I usually will just download something via a torrent.  Then, if the movie is worth owning, I\'ll often buy it.  I figure with owning 300ish movies legitimately, it evens out.

I like Netflix.  The only annoyance I\'ve encountered recently is they don\'t seem to have an active copy of the Able Ferrara film "Ms.45"  I\'ve had it at the top of my queue for months, but a while back it changed from "long wait" to "unavailable."

When we don\'t have Netflix (when all discs are in the mail), we\'ll sometimes do Redbox. There\'s one in the grocery store at the end of our patio, so it\'s pretty convenient.
