Re: movie rentals
i am like ur friend, i buy at movie gallery or walmart. why not when it basically costs what it would to rent anyway, if you dont want them for five days tuff, they rent by five days, even the new releases on one day only cost the same, around 4 dollars each. I rented black dog, when it come out, my son left it on the roof of the car when we loaded up to go get pix taken wtih santa in the video shop, someone got that movie at my expense, replacing a new realease averages 90 dollars or more. they cost more cause they are not off the mass produced line that goes to walmart and such, they are high quality for extra viewing, i used to work for a mom and pop shop in michigan, back when jake whos 21 was in kindergarden, and ordering medicine man, or one of those indiana jones movies that just come out was 89.95 even then. that was 17 years ago. im sure that since those days the prices have only went up. so taking late fees or replacing them into your view, it cost s you more in the end, i havent known anyone that hasnt lost one or not ever been late. maybe u or someone is the exception, but in all, i had to replace 2 movies, and late fees cost more then renting to start with. cause thats by the day, not by 5 days. games cost even more then that, to rent or buy, and finding stuff u want is harder, cause each time a new system hits the market, they delete the old ones availability. I love my nintendo 64 and my play 2, I have no interest in all this new garble coming out, by the time i get involved with something new, something better comes out. I personally loved beta! The size even was better then vhs, i dont know why vhs vs beta took off, now its discs, now theres mini discs, next there will prolly be some wifi connection load, i mean its never ending. so while the stuff is available for my specs, i buy it. that way i have it, when its gone, its gone. I dont feel renting is better then buying in any situation. I mean, i go to movie gallery and buy 2 get 2 free, so if its discs, i stick to the 9.99 section, i get four movies for approx 22 dollars with tax, if i rent them, its 18. for four dollars and i can have it and watch it when i feel like it and not have to drive there again and drop it off? well worth four dollars to me. To each thier own, but, my son rents when he feels like it only if i dont have it. seen as how i have younger kids, there are some i have for me and dh to watch, like underworld, he borrowed it. i saved him the 4 bucks rental fee. I actually bought that in the 2 for 11 bin at walmart. When we take off down the road with our rv, our kids just riding along, they have that portable dvd viewer, i have a book of discs in tow with us and they can watch what they want for our long road trip. we go to michigan, and that average ride is 14 hrs. It plugs right into the lighter place, and they usually watch felix the cat or casper videos. I just got a bunch of dvds at freds, like dollar general, for 50 cents each, all stuff i grew up with that now i can share wtih my kids, like kimba. I just bought volume 1 and 2 for one dollar. to me owning is far better then renting, i own my home, i own my car, i own my washer, i own my videos, they will last and last, i dont have to go anywhere to use them, i dont have to stop for quaters for washing. owning is a convience to me, i have four kids and one grandson, and it can go from one to the other. they now putting out stuff i watched when i was young, and i always wanted to share stuff like that with my kids, now i can, then life willing, they will have them later to share with thiers.oh and yes we own our rv too.lol.
