RENTING BETTER THAN BUYING
Will you really watch that DVD more than once?

Have you seen these ad campaigns for Blockbuster? I saw one on the bus the other day and was like, "WTF? Hell yeah I'm gonna watch that DVD more than once!" Is the new DVD phenomenon really causing havoc on Blockbuster's hold on the renting video market? Do you really watch your DVD's more than once?

To be honest...no, I don't watch them like I listen to CD's. But it's the sense of ownership that I like. I'm a collector. Only on rare occasions do I rent a DVD. Why? Most of the time, the quality is poor (scratched discs), lack of selection, new titles are checked out, and most importantly, LATE FEES. I'd much rather buy the movie instead of paying $20 in late fees (i'm bad like that).

So...are you like m, xangeluvr, Triptych, and myself? When that new Memento comes out, you're gonna buy it for a one time price?

OR

Do you watch everything on that DVD, and then return it to Blockbuster in 5 days?
