Would like the opinion of forum goers if they'd be willing to part with money to rent movies if it was more convenient to do so. IE pay to rent movies instead of going to the pasar malam or downloading.

do you mean sharing money to rent movies?

its a very general but distinct Question

really up to individual,

well just pit this rental game with media playing files

if you got BD burner its also worth the rental, as you can compare wit the burn product

if you're into media playing think the rate now is going for some RM12/= per BD title against the rental of RM20/BD ( might b wrong, dont' quote me ok.. )

c... still boils to individual

Rental sometimes works right well..cause someday somehow we might end up selling off bluray instead collecting..

current price per blu ray is ridiculoues for something that we might only watch once.... if this price range stay that way, rental is the way to go

Generally almost all bluray movies are pure commercial, except a few good titles. the rest are largely not worthy of RM70 - RM150 per disc.

Rental seems to make good sense.

To backup the disc, even the Bluray RW disc is not cheap.

off topic: wow, this is the first time I see someone who is proud to be a Lotus Notes user. most of them are either murderously angry or beyond caring

Its OK to Rent the bluray. Only buy those u want to watch few times....

Hi,

I d rent if it was convenient .. I m a mvs fan n I d watch a rental on mos of those indie or those non commercial flicks which are prbbly jus worth one watch only - u knw de type - u like de actr/actrs n would like to catch 1st hand wat its all abt inspite of overwhelmin bad rvws..
At de moment I scour used cps for these to soften de 'resale value loss' tis habit entails..
Thou' de keyword is CONVENIENT - sending it back if its like a 3mile out of de way route is defintely a NO NO..

But tats jus me..
D

Gee, cheers mate.. i'm running Lotus Domino test server in my home pc , and running Lotus Notes client. My job..Lotus Notes & Domino Administrator

Ya, i would consider rent Blu Rays tat i want to watch once or twice. Also dun have to go thru the hassle of selling it off after im done.

I'm one of those "beyond caring" users ;D


anyway, back on topic... with the proliferation of networkable media players someone should set up a local Netflix

You mean stream movies from Netflix ?

yea but local Netflix rentals, not thru international bottlenecks

Well, that explains, but whose gonna do that bro..we must look at the cost , infrastructure..and mainly plans..

too bad there is no bluray rental over here in sarawak. If there is so. i would rent as much as i can and rip them.hehe

Depends on individual la, I guess. Some people like to collect. Like me I collect so much until more than half I havent even seen or open yet

I get Bluray from lowyat forum renting, it is even cheaper than buying pirated DVD

Support genuine.. , jack sparrow DVD cost at least RM8 now (the last i remembered)

Here, it is RM5
