Online Movie Rentals – Way to go!!!



Off-late we have seen couple movie rental services come to the market. New to the Indian market, these services are affordable, very convenient. Not every person could afford the luxury of time to visit cinema halls to watch the box office heats, but people do have spare time once in a while. And the convenience to select movies online and queue them up in the account according to the priority adds advantage to these services.
Post registration, a member is provided with a unique user-ID & password with which he/she selects the movies the person desires. The selected movies are then dispatched based on the availability. The subscription packages vary according to various service providers.
There is no doubt about the quality of movie prints. These are original DVD/CD prints & the movie database is growing by the moment as I write this blog. However these providers do have a long way to go when it comes to the customer service and the level of technological involvement involved. Say for a example I queue up a movie, I should get an intimation as to if the movie is right now available for delivery or not. If it’s not available, then a queue specific to the movie should be displayed. The systems though centralized should be processed on real-time basis which is lacking right now.
All said and then, the movie rental industry has received a tremendous response and so are the expectations of the subscribers.
Some of the established rental services available now are Big Flix & Seventy MM
