Does anyone rent films anymore

[Rubberglove]

With the internet, chipped boxes, SKY, etc etc

Does anyone actually go to the likes of Blockbuster anymore?

Been years since I set foot in one

There's still places that do rentals. Lovefilm and Amazon do it.

To answer the original question, yes people still do although the amount has massively declined. Used to love waiting till my mam got in from my granda's to see what film she brought in.

Ooooo sorry pet.

Nah neebody rents films anymore. Why would you when you can buy them from amazon second hand for about £3. No market for them anymore.

Used to love renting all the "video nasties" back in the 80's

Betamax I think...

 

[Edinburgh Black Cat]

Fed up with twats that don't rewind the tape.

I actually miss my trips to Blockbuster. Used to love going down seeing what was on the shelves and then picking a few films and watching them back at home.

Not into this downloading malarkey, and can't stand watching films on an iPad / Laptop etc.

You know you can download stuff in Bluray and watch it on your telly? For free?

How is that not better?

 

[dafunk2]

For free = illegally?

 

[Mainze]

Aye I was thinking of getting sky movies as opposed to Lovefilm for that reason.

I dont even own a dvd player anymore. No need for the clutter.

You can rent on SKY too, also they have this wierd sales thing where you buy the film, watch on your SKY box, and they send the DVD to you in the post.
