Movie Reviews On The Best And The Worst
http://moviereviewstation.blogspot.com
I recall many years ago when people were saying that movies were a
thing of the past, that people would be entertained with the internet
and video games. Well, not so! In fact, the movie business (including
movie rental) is big business and it's not likely to go away anytime
soon.
Let's take a look at the two 500 pound guerillas in the movie rental
business: Netflix and Blockbuster. We have a brief description of the
programs outlined here:
Netflix launched its online movie rental service in 1999 and currently
has more than 3,000,000 customers.
With Netflix you can rent as many movies from the comfort of your home
and have them delivered to your door in about 1 business day via U.S.
Mail. There are no late fees and no due dates, and shipping is free
both ways. Plans range from $9.99-$17.99 plus any applicable tax. When
you finish watching a movie, simply put it in its prepaid envelope and
mail it back to them. After they receive it, they'll send you another
movie.
They has a wide selection of movies - everything from classics to new
releases, with 40,000 titles. Their web site is available 24 hours a
day and makes finding movies simple and convenient. New customers can
try it free for two weeks. You can cancel your membership anytime with
no cancellation fees.
Blockbuster now has a very similar online mail delivery movie rental
program. Their program started in March 2005 and they have a online
movie library with more than 30,000 titles. Their monthly fee is
$14.99 (plus applicable taxes) for an unlimited number of movies. You
can have up to three out at one time. Return them in the postage-paid
envelope and you'll receive others that you have selected. Also as a
member, each month Blockbuster give you two ecoupons for free in-store
movie or game rentals. You can cancel at anytime.
The up-side of these online, mail delivery rental programs is there
are no due dates or late fees, you don't have to go into the store and
there are more available selections than the stores carry. The
downside is that you have to wait for delivery in the mail.
