Online DVDs – More Than NetFlix?

Okay, even grandma knows how to set up her queue so obviously we have reached the point where online DVD rentals has reached the mainstream. Clearly, renting DVDs online is one of the best options out there for the movie lover. No late fees, home delivery and numerous pricing plans around the number of movies you can keep at a time mean one of the most convenient ways for you to satisfy your movie jones. And much of this can be attributed to the granddaddy (can we call a 7 year old service the granddaddy?) of the online DVD rental game – Netflix.

Netflix started the online DVD rental craze and is still the leader in the space with more than 60,000 titles and almost 5 million subscribers since launch. They offer a choice of 9 subscription plans starting as low as $9.99 per month and the best part is you can try it now with a free trial. Netflix is also one of the top ranked services in terms of customer service thanks to 39 distribution centers around the US. Finally, NetFlix also features a superb recommendation engine that gives its members a great outlet to find new movies as well as other useful features such as a buddy list that lets you see what your friends are watching. Netflix is definitely worth trying and with a Free Trial you have nothing to lose.

Of course, the chief rival for Netflix would have to be the retail DVD chain Blockbuster. They have launched a similar service to Netflix. With Blockbuster.com you also have a quality service that features plans as low as $9.99 per month. One of the nice benefits of the Blockbuster service is that you also get up to 4 free in-store movie rentals. That’s a great deal as Blockbuster has successfully integrated the online and in-store experience giving you the best of both worlds. Plus, Blockbuster.com also offers a free trial of its service.

One service that is changing the way we look at online DVDs is PeerFlix. PeerFlix is an online DVD trading service that is easy to use. Simply sign up for the service and list the DVDs that you own. Then, list the DVDs that you want. For every DVD you send out you earn credits toward DVDs you receive. And once you receive your DVD you own it. Plus PeerFlix offers a protection plan that makes sure you can trade DVDs worry free. Signing up is free and is a great option for anyone with a DVD collection that is sitting around collecting dust.

Online DVD renting and trading isn’t your only option for online DVDs. There are also numerous club programs that allow you to get great deals on buying DVDs. DVD clubs are nothing new and ColumbiaHouse DVD Club. This great club lets you get your first 5 movies for only 49 cents and is an excellent way to help grow your DVD collection.

Looking for something specific? There are several niche oriented DVD clubs that cater to specific tastes. That mean’s you can get a great deal on your favorite Disney DVD, hard-to-find anime DVDs or even a DVD recommended by Captain Kirk himself William Shatner. With DVD clubs there really is something for everyone.
