Movie download services are exactly what they sound like: a service that allows you to download movies from the Internet onto your hard drive or a DVD.
Though this isn't a new concept, it is relatively new to the legal world of consumerism.
Though 'pirates' have been making free download of movies available for quite some time, movie studios are now getting in on the action and offering access to their movies for download the day they hit the stores in DVD format - for a fee, of course.
What's the Benefit of Movie Download Services? Convenience! Forget long lines at the theater, the video store being out of a new release, or waiting in virtual queue to get your mailed DVD through a subscription service.
No more concern about court cases and legal fees for downloading movies illegally or spy ware from file sharing applications that will slow down your computer if not cripple it beyond repair.
Then, of course, there's the fact that you can watch the newest movies as many times as you like on your personal computer and instantly upon purchase - no waiting and no driving to the store.
I personally use this service and find it very easy and convenient to use.
I recommend it to all my friends who love movies.
Try it out your self.
I guarantee that you will find it better than any movie rental store.
The legal movie sites we review claim to take the trip to the video store or that wait for mail from Netflix out of your home theater viewings.
Is the convenience worth it? What do you gain and what do you lose when switching to internet-delivered entertainment?
