DVD Rental Videos Online

Welcome to the DVD Rental Video Guide

A no-frills guide to sites that rent DVD movies by mail order in the U.S., or have downloadable movies. I started this guide because I love movies, but don’t love most of them enough to watch more than once. Over the past year I have tried a number of services and heard from visitors who have tried others. Yet I always return to Netflix or Blockbuster, each having the largest selection of movies and the most distribution centers.

How to create a website interface like Netflix or Blockbuster?

Hi, for a project for school we have to come up with an E-commerce website. I would just like to know how is the interface in Netflix or Blockbuster made? Registered users can decided which movie they want to borrow and add it a to a compiled list. You can decide which one you want to rent first and so on.

What is the proper term and are there any trial websites that will allow me to do this?

use a cms like joomla there are free e-commerce modules that you can add in.

What are the blockbuster game rental costs nd rules?

I heard it is for 5 days $7.00, but they only charge after 12 days. Also, you can have the game out for up to 30 days with paying an extra $1 restocking fee.
Is that true? Thanks for the help.

Why not call Blockbuster and ask them?

It just seems like such a simple thing to do to get an answer - and by the time you finish reading what I wrote you would have had your answer.

why netflix video is not shipping new movies on my top list?

its not shipping the new movies on my top list queue

when i called the agent .They tell like they will mail the new one to those who rent less in month

what is this?do u have any problems with netflix?

I’ve been a member for 8 years or so. True, the folks who rent less have priority. My parents really like that feature.

I’ve had no problems with Netflix, although actually getting a Customer Care Rep can be difficult.

Attend to your queue and put your most wanted films on top. Then, always push the new releases to the very top. Therefore, when they send new releases to someone else, your next in line may be the one you really want. This strategy has worked well for me.

Has anyone heard when Netflix will be available on xbox?

They announced in June that Netflix service would be available on Xbox360’s in the late fall. I had seen things on the Marketplace home for a while, but haven’t heard anything since. In fact, on the Netflix website, they did have something about it, but it has been taken off. Have they canceled this, or delayed it, or what?

It goes live on the 19th of this month. You have to have both an Xbox Live Gold membership as well as a Netflix membership to watch the streaming movies. In order to use the service, you have to first login to your Netflix account online via your computer and fill your instant watch movie queue with movies that are available for instant play. You then will be able to access those movies in your queue from your 360. You won’t be able to simply browse movies on your 360, they have to be added online. It does offer HD quality picture though, unlike the usual streaming video you may be used to, which usually may look like a Godzilla movie with out of sync sound and grainy picture. Overall this is a great service that will only improve as time goes by.
