DVD rentals are slowly becoming a thing of the past as more people turn to live streaming of their favorite movies. Companies including Blockbuster have seen the trend and as a result they have had to add new feature to the types of service they have to offer. While some people still prefer to rent their DVD’s and use Netflix to store their rental list, others have turned to renting and watching instantly. In the past the only way to rent and watch immediately would have meant paying a high cost to get pay per view, but now that additional cost can be eliminated. Regardless of what types of television or computers you have, and the type of platform it runs on, there is always a service that will cater to your needs. In addition to the amount of work you have, each day, no one has time to return their rentals and pick them up. Due to late returns, many rental stores charge a late fee, which can be avoided with online renting.
Netflix provides their user with the advantage of not having to worry about paying late fees, as they have flat rate you can select from, and there is no time limit for how long you hold onto your movie. With this cost eliminated, the company has also made it easier for you to rent online and directly stream your rental onto your television or your computer, whichever you prefer watching on. Companies like Netflix, have been successful due to their forward thinking ways to let their customers rent. Recently the company did make some changes by removing their mobile apps, but that does not affect too many people, as they have other ways to get their favorite shows, and much faster. The payment plans are also a lot cheaper than having additional cable channels and since the rental service is unlimited, you can get the most for your money.
