Movie Downloads Are The Wave Of The Future

By Letha Galloway

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.

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.

Limitless movies: 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.

Portable: Perhaps the best thing about online movie rentals is the fact that you can often download the movie to a portable video player. Doing this allows you to take the movie with you wherever you go to watch whenever you want. This includes riding on the bus, waiting in lines, and traveling on long distance trips. Entertainment is just an press play button away.

One cautionary note is to make sure that your online movie provider only sells legitimate movies. Unfortunately, many websites sell illegal copies of movies and the last thing you want is to have the feds pounding on your door because you unintentionally bought a bootleg copy of a movie.

While movie downloads probably can't be considered the best thing since pre-sliced bread, it is pretty close. You get all the same entertainment benefits of a regular movie in one convenient money saving package. What's not to love about that? - 2361
