Movie Downloads Will Save You Time And Money And That's Awesome

By Mathew Mcmahon

Standing around in long lines or getting caught in bad weather is now a thing of the past thanks to the internet. In the past, if you wanted to see a movie, you had to jump in the car and drive to the theater or movie rental store. Today, movie downloads makes it easy to purchase and watch the latest releases from the comfort of your home.

Many people who have DVD players or order pay per view movies from the cable provider don't see the value in being able to download movies from the internet. Here are four reasons why using the internet to rent your movies is so much better than buying them from your cable company or going to a rental store.

Convenience: Sitting at your computer and ordering a movie with a few clicks beats fighting the traffic to drive across town to the rental store. Since the internet never closes, you can order movies anytime you feel the urge to watch one even if you are getting home after the bar closes. Returning the movies is just as easy. In fact, it's so easy that you don't have to do a thing. Most online movie companies allow you to keep your downloaded movie for up to 30 days. When your time is up, access to the movie simply 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.

Affordable: Time is money and renting movies online saves you plenty of both. Because overhead expenses are lower, online movies can be purchased for less. Not only that, you'll save money on gas as well as wear and tear on your car. You'll also save money on late fees because with online movies, once your time is up, your access to the movie is simply cut off.

Take them with you: One unique benefit to downloading movies from the internet is the fact that you can put them on a portable video player. This will give you the ability to take the video with you to watch whenever the mood strikes. Riding on a local bus, long distance travel and even waiting in line can be perfect opportunities to watch that movie you've been waiting to see all year.

When choosing an online provider to download movies from be sure you go with a company with a good reputation. There are many places that are selling downloads illegally. The last thing you want is to end up getting in trouble because of a bootleg copy you bought from a questionable company.

There is a lot to love about movie downloads. With their blend of variety, convenience and savings they may not be the greatest thing since the invention of pre-sliced bread but they come pretty close.
