Movies - Online Streaming Or Brick And Mortar Renting - Which One Is Better?
With brick and mortar renting, first of all you have to find a movie rental store close to your home and then you have to drive to this place, and search for movies in different racks and finally when you find the movie of your choice you have to stand in the line to rent your movie. Entire process can take upto 30-45 minutes if movie store is close to your home. Again you have to make sure that you return the movie within required time frame and that too before the store closes down. If you are late by a day you incur a significant late fees, I remembered paying 16 dollars late fees for returning movie about 4 days late.
This is your typical brick and mortar experience and now lets see how is your netflix movie streaming experience.
Same scenario: you decide that you want to rent a movie. Here is where the difference lies. Instead of dealing with everything involved in brick and mortar renting, you walk over to your computer and turn it on. Make sure that you are connected to the internet and have a browser pulled up. Go to www.netflix.com and pick your plan. Once you sign up the first time, you won't have to do that again. You can get plans for as little as $8.99 a month. Then all you have to do is choose which movie or tv show that you want to stream and then just sit back and enjoy your rental. You can rent and stream as many as you want and as often as you want. If you want to and you have the right cables and connections then you can even watch streaming movies on your television too. You don't even need to worry about returning them. How much simpler could it possibly get?
Looking at the above experiences, what are your thoughts? Which one do you think is easier not only for you but also on your vehicle and your budget. In the battle against online streaming vs. brick and mortar renting, online streaming wins hands down every single time.
