Movie Downloads Will Save You Time And Money

By Joanna Ferrell

The internet has improved the processes of many industries and the entertainment industry is no exception. Where you once had to go to a theater or drive to a rental store if you wanted to see a movie, thanks to online movie downloads you can now purchase the latest releases from the comfort of your home. That beats standing in long lines or getting caught in bad weather any day.

It might be hard to see the value in downloading movies from the internet especially if you have a DVD player or rent movies via pay per view. Here are a few ways renting movies online is a better use of your time and money than getting them from your cable provider or renting them from a video store.

Convenience: Sitting at your computer and ordering a movie with a few clicks beats fighting the traffic to drive across town to the rental store. Since the internet never closes, you can order movies anytime you feel the urge to watch one even if you are getting home after the bar closes. Returning the movies is just as easy. In fact, it's so easy that you don't have to do a thing. Most online movie companies allow you to keep your downloaded movie for up to 30 days. When your time is up, access to the movie simply 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: Renting movies online saves you both money and time. Internet companies have much lower overhead costs which allow them to rent movies at a much cheaper rate. On top of that, you'll save wear and tear on your car as well as gas. Late fees are a thing of the past too because once your rental time expires access to the movie is simply shut 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. - 40727
