Will People Buy/rent Dvd

Why do people still buy DVDs?

I recently bought a Blu-ray player, and I will provide the answer for why people still buy DVDs, because someone who has bought DVDs for a long time, amidst Blu-ray becoming popular, I have an idea for why folks still buy DVDs.People don’t understand what Blu-ray has to offer. You note the better image and audio quality, and that is true, but the DVD buyers don’t understand this. For them, it is just a more expensive disc of the same movie. Put yourself in their world, and ask yourself, What is the point of buying more expensive discs, when I could buy the same thing for cheaper?That leads us to price. I live in Singapore, and here, 3D Blu-rays sell for SG$50, and 2D Blu-rays sell for SG$40. A newly released DVD sell for SG$25, and other DVDs sell for SG$20. Why would spend that much money on something that they think has nothing to offer more than a DVD. I know what it has to offer, and I will buy a Blu-ray, but not someone who doesn’t know what it has to offer.Those are two co-related reasons for why people buy DVDs over Blu-rays.As for DVDs over streaming, some people love the tangible part of owning a movie, myself included. I love to look at the case, analyze every detail of the case and the disc(s). That is why I will put streaming under a physical disc. That is why in 2016, I upgraded to Blu-ray, knowing that perhaps streaming will take over optical disc, just like the optical disc took over VHS.Still, more important than the tangible part of owning a movie is actually watching the movie. I do stream online sometimes, but I absolutely hate the buffering which you never experience on optical disc. Plus, I never feel like I own it like I would feel with owning the Blu-ray or DVD. That can be a good thing at times, because there are some movies you don’t want to own, but you just want to watch. Plus, I prefer watching my movies on TV over my laptop. As for Netflix, I will never care about Netflix. It is far more convenient to buy a disc, put it in a player, and watch, than paying bills to Netflix. I would like to use Amazon Video, but it isn’t available to use here, so I stick to optical discs. As for torrenting, the answer to that is simple- it is illegal.So that is my answer, and I hope that this helps.

What kind of items could I buy to rent out to people?

You could rent out books- these are a dying art, and there are plenty of people out there that would pay you to read them.You could also rent out DVDs, as these are also a dying art as people are watching more and more films on the internet.You could charge as much as £10 for each book and DVD and you could make a good profit out of it.

How do you rent a DVD from Redbox?

go to the box, select your movie using the touchscreen, select "check out", slide your debit or credit card to pay for the first night's rental fee.  the box will then dispense the DVD.  return it to any Redbox before 9:00pm the next night or your card will be charged again; and again for every night that you don't return the disc.For each day you keep a rental, you'll be charged for another rental period + applicable tax.If you hold onto your disc for the maximum rental period (almost  everywhere, it's 17 days for movies and 23 days for games), you'll be  charged the maximum charge and the disc is yours to keep.In most areas, those fees are $25 + tax for DVDs, $34 + tax for Blu-ray™ Discs and $69 + tax for video games.

Do you still buy DVDs? Why or why not?

Question: Do you still buy DVDs? Why or why not?When VCRs first came out I bought a Sony Betamax and started recording movies from my HBO and Showtime cable subscriptions and also bought some titles on prerecorded Beta tapes.Eventually the VHS format won the VHS vs Beta tape war causing prerecorded movies to only be available on VHS. After both of my Betamax VCRs died I gave in and bought a VHS VCR forcing me to replace my prerecorded Beta movies with the same titles on VHS.Now along comes DVDs. By this time I had ~500 titles in my VHS library along with a few titles still on Beta that were never available on VHS. Because the picture quality of DVDs, even on my, at the time, SD (Standard Definition) TV, was so much better than VHS I slowly replaced my VHS titles with DVD when available.Then I found out about a little company called Netflix. I was able to rent movies on DVD and the title(s) were delivered in the mail within two days. At this point I basically stopped buying movies on DVDs.I later bought a new gadget called a Roku which allows me to instantly watch online movies on Netflix without having to wait for a DVD to be mailed to me.Using my Roku I now buy movies from Amazon which are stored on Amazon’s servers so I can watch them anytime at no additional cost.Currently I have ~1,750 titles in my video library most of which are on DVD, but unlike the Beta to VHS switchover I now have too many titles and too little money to get the online digital versions of all my current DVDs. Yes, I’ll admit I am lazy and when I want to watch a movie I would much rather prefer to simply press a couple of buttons on my Roku remote rather than taking the time to find then load a movie into my DVD player………..first world problems abound.I have ripped (copied) a handful of my favorite non-copyguarded DVDs to my NAS (Network Attached Storage) drives but I do not have the patience or desire to rip my entire 1,750+ library.So with very few exceptions I no longer buy movies on DVD choosing instead to purchase the online digital version of new releases.

Why do people purchase DVDs and films online instead of just renting them?

It's a great question -- a fair one too.I think movie watchers fall into two main categories; 1) those who only want to see a movie once, no matter how good it was and 2) those who love to see great movies over and over again.I think neither group can truly understanding the thinking of the other. My girlfriend falls into the first camp, I fall into the second. She owns zero DVDs. I own, well, let's just say, "a fair amount."For me, it's has similarities to listening to music (although, they are not quite identical). With a song, you enjoy the performance, the melody, bassline, harmonization, chord progression, the beat --- whatever element appeals to you. I've listened to some songs for decades and will never tire of them.Movies have similar appealing qualities that some people simply enjoy over and over again; seeing their favorite actor on screen, great score (which brings the film to life), fantastic CGI work, the appeal of a intricately woven plot, great lines and so forth. Yes, I know, we already know how the movie turns out (in the same way, we know the words to a song). For those of in Camp #2, that's fine. We enjoy it anyway. Having it handy to watch anytime we want (i.e. DVD library) is convenient. Sure, we could rent it again if we wanted to re-watch a movie, but that's like bowling with a "house ball," instead of having your own. It just works out better for us this way.I suppose there's also a third group, who buy DVDs without having seen it at the theater first. To me, that is risky. You could wind up absolutely hating the film and easily throw $15 down the drain. I would imagine this group is small.I find myself buying a lot of used DVDs, which are in the $3-$5 range (sometimes more), as I am rebuilding my library (having pitched all of my video tapes). I think they view just as well as the one that I just took off the cellophane wrapper to.
