Consumers have a number of options when it comes to looking at movies at home. Two of the most popular are renting movies at the nearby video store and renting films via an online service. An informal survey was recently conducted on a home electronics/entertainment site regarding the movie looking at habits of website visitors. The results pointed to some of the misconceptions that still exist about online rental of Dvd disks by consumers that have not yet attempted the service.

Participants in the study were asked a number of questions, including how often they watch films at home, whether or not they rent movies on-line, and if not, why. Nearly 28% of those responding indicated that they rent movies online. Of the remainder, one of the most frequently cited reason for not using an online movie rental service was concern which centered around the perception that online movie rental will be more expensive than the local video shop. When looking at a couple of scenarios it becomes evident which method tends to be cheaper.

For individuals who indicated that they watch just one to 3 movies per month the savings from renting online are usually small. Renting 2 movies monthly at the local video store would certainly average around $7. 40 while renting from Netflix for example , when they chose the plan that has a limit of 2 movies per month, would operate $5. 99. After getting a video at the local store the user would have over night or perhaps one week to return the movie but an online rental would allow them to keep your movie for an unlimited period of time.

For all those individuals who responded that they view 1-3 movies per week, the savings will be more significant. For instance, renting 8 films per month would run around $29. 55 at the local store and as reduced as $14. 99 online if they chose the "2 out at a time" plan or $17. 99 for your "3 out at a time" plan. As viewing increases so does the likelihood of experiencing greater savings.

For those who responded that they view 4 films per week (averaged out to 16 for each month) the average cost at the local store would be $59. 04 while online rental would be $23. 99 enabling the user "4 out at a time". Renting through a service like Netflix generally does not limit how many movies a person views but rather, how many films they can have out at any given time. Therefore rentals are more or less limitless with many of the plans.

The second most often cited reason for not utilizing on the internet movie rental services was that the individual rented movies on the spur of the moment and did not plan forward. Certainly renting movies online and getting them through the mail would not permit someone to decide at 6: 00 p. m. that they want to see The particular Queen and receive it so that they can be viewing the movie by 6: 00 p. m. However , the delay for receiving movies selected through the mail is only 1 working day which would seem sufficient in most instances.

The future of DVD rental may be changing however as Netflix announced in early 2007 that customers would now have the choice of watching movies instantly via a loading service that is now available for some films. The service should be quicker than most download services as streaming allows viewing of the movie since it is streamed rather than waiting until download is complete. Although a full changeover from the current mail delivery system to a download type of service will take time, it is clear that immediacy will only continue to improve. It would seem that will other online movie rental solutions would follow suit in arriving years in order to compete.

Consumers that have not been initiated into the on the internet movie rental world also may become unaware of other benefits/features of this kind of services.

* Greater selection- An average video store has 10, 1000 to 15, 000 titles offered whereas the Netflix online movie rental service has over 80, 000. This would seem to eliminate the issue of consumers arriving at the store only to find there is nothing there that they really want to observe.

* There are no fees related to the delivery and return associated with DVD's; and there is no traveling to and from the store as movies are usually delivered to their door or to their home via streaming.

* Movie selection is assisted by user reviews via online programs like Netflix.

* Trials of online movie rental services are generally risk free as there are free trials available and no termination fees.

* There are never any late fees nor restrictions on how long a movie can be kept.

Myths about online movie rental solutions appear to limit the participation of a significant number of consumers. Online movie rental probably offers the services that many consumers want, even if they don't know it yet.
