Renting movies is a great way to have some family entertainment time, but don't think that your only option is the local video store. These days there are lots of different options, from receiving DVDs through the mail to watching them instantly online. You can do it all from the comfort of your home. Here's a rundown of some of the latest ways to get movies:
1. Amazon Video On Demand is a service available through Amazon.com. With Amazon VOD you can purchase
123 movie and television shows for a one-time fee. The rates for the videos range from $9.99 to $3.99 and there are select titles available for free. What makes Amazon VOD convenient is that your purchases are there for you to watch in the future. With each purchase, you build a video library that you can come back to again if you can't finish your movie right away. There are many different options for viewing as well. You can view your purchases on your computer, on your portable video device, your Tivo, your Windows media player or your Xbox 360.
