It wasn't very long ago when Blockbuster entered the online DVD rental market. A market that had all, but been dominated by Netflix. And now today you can't turn on the television without seeing a commercial by one or both of them. We have tried both services ourselves, and we have to admit that blockbuster online has won our hearts. We think the kicker here was a new promotion that also allowed the customer to get free rentals from the neighborhood Blockbuster store as well as through the mail. This is a luxury that Netflix just does not have. We have to admit that Blockbuster's online selection was a little stingy at the beginning, but they have picked up the pace on that and have opened more distribution centers all over the country to make for faster shipping times. If you are a movie buff or just rent DVDs 5 or 6 times a month, you can save money using this service. Just do the math. But if you are still skeptical there is a cheap trial period available where you can cancel at anytime. Check out their website for more details.
Intelliflix takes a different approach to online DVD rentals. Knowing that they can't compete with the advertising budget of big names like Blockbuster and Netflix, they opted for lower prices and a slightly different selection. They do offer the newest releases as well as the classics, but their difference comes out when the customer selects the higher tier plans that include a selection of adult titles. They also offer plans that include game rentals. Their key to their success is definitely variety. They also have plans that start as low as $3.99/month which is lower than all their competitors. They have distribution centers all over the country, so they can get their customers their movies fast. They are doing what they can to keep up with the big boys and they seem to be doing a decent job of it. Head to their website to find out more details and check out their rental packages.
CinemaNow is a website joining the new innovation in watching movies that has only been made possible by the popularity of broadband internet connections. That is downloading movies to your computer, something that cannot happen with dial-up connections. This service offers several options including rentals, purchases, and memberships. They offer the newsest releases, the classics, and even some mature content. There is one problem with downloading movies that CinemaNow is working on as we speak. Unless you have your computer hooked up to a PC or DVI input on you TV, the movies can only be viewed on the computer. Although CinemaNow is working with movie studios and getting the rights to sell movies that can be burned on to a DVD and viewed in a standard DVD player. Not all movies on CinemaNow work this way, but they are making progress. To check out their selection and purchasing options, head to to their website.
