Ray Baker
However you choose to spell it, Netflix, Netflicks or Net flicks - with over 100,000 titles, you are sure to find the DVD movies you want to watch.

I think most people probably know about the DVD rental on line companies nowadays, but for some reason, not everyone is using their services. The service really is a no-brainer, you order your movies on-line, and in a day or so they are delivered to your mailbox ready to watch.
When you first start to use the DVD rental on line services, you will find that the systems work very effectively. All you have to do is choose the movies that you want to view, receive them in the mail, and watch them at your leisure. There are never any late fees to pay, should you forget to return them, as you can keep the movies for as long as you want. If you have ever forgotten to return a movie to your local store, you will no that this feature alone can mean that the service almost pays for itself.
What I like best about DVD movie rental on line is the single monthly fee you pay, and with most companies if you pay their highest fee, which is about $20 a month, you can rent as many DVDs as you want throughout the month; send the first bunch back and they will send you more DVDs straight away. Once you get used to the system you just rinse and repeat until you have watched every movie your rental company has, but with
over 100,000 DVDs at Netflix alone, that could take you some time!
I personally have paid more than $20 in late fees on one set of DVD rentals before, so if you are like me, it is well worth the investment.
The 2 big players in the DVD rental on line industry are Blockbusters and Netflix. Both follow similar business models, and both companies have good and bad points in their favour. I think Netflix edges it slightly because the number of titles they have for you to choose from is just huge, although Blockbusters allow you to drop movies back at your local store and I like that feature too.
DVD rental on line is definitely the way the industry will grow in the future, the centralized nature of operating the business in this way allows the companies to make huge savings, and in a competitive market those savings in part will get passed on to us the consumer.
In summary then, DVD rental on line will work out less expensive than renting 5 or 6 movies per month from your local store, you will never have to pay any late fees because you can keep the movies for as long as you want. On the downside you are committing to pay a set amount each month, but you are not tied in for a long period, you can cancel any time you choose. Like I said before, to me it is a no-brainer.
