After seeing the DVDXpress kiosk at my local grocery store, I was curious just how it worked. My parents have rented dvds through this type of service (Redbox) before, so I thought I would give it a try. I rented “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” for my daughter and “Nim’s Island” for myself. It was a really simple process, just pick your movies, slide your debit card and out comes the movies. The movies are due the next day. Pretty easy. What I liked about this way of renting DVDs is that it is ideal for someone who only watches movies occasionally. It’s easy and painless. You can even set up a monthly schedule as well.

As for someone like me, who is a movie freak, this way to rent movies doesn’t really fit my lifestyle. I would end up spending more money in the long run. That’s why I use Netflix. I always have a movie, and I can watch it as many times as I want, without the fear of late fees. This system also works best for my daughter, who loves to watch the movies over and over and over.

So, before deciding which company to use, I would evaluate how often you watch movies and how often you rewatch the movies that you have rented!
