    I don't pay money to watch things that are freely available.
    So 6. Other commercial free service .
    and I can find and watch just about anything that my friends who use netflix can. One day I'm sure it won't be soo easy... but while it is, I'm going to take full advantage of it.

    Please , save your "I am holier than though because I pay to watch stuff" lines for someone else.
    Save your energy for where it will be useful. . lol

    so if they are not freely available do you just not watch things?

    In other words do you limit to what you watch to only things you can find 'freely available' as you say?

    Perhaps they have a DVD player for each media. I suppose it would be cheaper to buy a player for each DVD than implementing the automated infrastructure to put the DVDs on the players on demand.

    This could be right since DVD players are so inexpensive now

    Yes pretty much. (though not soo limited)

    Unless it is something I really want to see (or have/keep),
    then I will buy it.
    Things like Northern Exposure on DVD (even though it's all online for free)
    or "What The Bleep Do we know, special edition" , special things like that.

    But generally, everything I find myself "wanting to see" I can find pretty easily for free. (most things that come out in theatres these days are not in my "want to see' list), lol,
    So I don't really find it too 'limiting'.

    Once in a great while something will come to the theatre that I want to see, and Ill go pay to see that..
    but this is pretty rare. lol

    I've got my invite yesterday. I have already watched a movie that I was waiting for a while, to be available in my primary rental service.

    It works great. Unlike other services, it seems there is no geolocation limitation. The only issue is that subtitles are not available in all languages. For me is not a problem, I actually prefer without them, but that is a no-go for a lot of friends and family members.

    The price is very cheap compared to local rental services with similar titles availability.

    I don't think they have enough titles to supply my demand, but I will continue to use it for renting movies I can't wait to rent on DVD.

    Re: Your preferred online Movie streaming rental service?

    The only streaming service i use is netflix. streams on all my devices and remembers where i left off. signed up the other day because i was bored and man it has improved so much since i tried it last
    Whoever came up with the phrase "There is no such thing as a stupid question" obviously never had the internet.
