Movie Downloads Are The Future For Movie Buying

By Joanna Ferrell

Movie downloads are changing the way we rent movies. In the past, you had to drive to a rental store or to the movie theaters whenever you were in the mood to watch a movie. Today, you can have the latest releases delivered instantly to your computer with a few simple clicks of the mouse. Gone are the days of having to stand in longs lines or suffer through miserable weather.

If you have a DVD player or even pay per view through your cable company, you may be wondering what the big deal is about being able to download a movie from your computer. There are several advantages the internet offers that neither your movie player or cable company can compete with. Here are a just a few of them.

Convenience: Dealing with rough traffic on the way to the rental store doesn't sound like a lot of fun. In fact, in the time it takes you to get in your car and drive to the end of the driveway, you could have ordered a movie online. Since the internet is open all day every day, you have the ability to order a movie whenever you feel like watching one, even if it's in the middle of the night. Additionally, you won't have worry about returning your movie to the rental store. Online movie providers allow you to keep the movie for up to 30 days before your access to it expires.

Variety: The amount of movies you have access to online is limitless. Unlike your cable provider who will offer maybe a dozen movies through pay per view or a movie rental store that is constantly throwing out poor performers in exchange for the next hot thing, you can get pretty much any movie online that you want to watch. Including the oldies but goodies and DVD versions of your favorite television shows.

Pricing: Time is money and renting movies online saves you plenty of both. Because overhead expenses are lower, online movies can be purchased for less. Not only that, you'll save money on gas as well as wear and tear on your car. You'll also save money on late fees because with online movies, once your time is up, your access to the movie is simply cut off.

Portability: One unique benefit to downloading movies from the internet is the fact that you can put them on a portable video player. This will give you the ability to take the video with you to watch whenever the mood strikes. Riding on a local bus, long distance travel and even waiting in line can be perfect opportunities to watch that movie you've been waiting to see all year.

When choosing an online provider to download movies from be sure you go with a company with a good reputation. There are many places that are selling downloads illegally. The last thing you want is to end up getting in trouble because of a bootleg copy you bought from a questionable company.

There is a lot to love about movie downloads. With their blend of variety, convenience and savings they may not be the greatest thing since the invention of pre-sliced bread but they come pretty close. - 40732
