The Movie Downloading Services That Are Simply The Best

Filed under: Entertainment — Tags: , , , , , , — Harry Nieves @ 7:06 am

Everything changes and evolves and the old video store of the past is becoming increasingly past its prime. Now you can get your movies straight out of a vending machine for little money in comparison to the larger natural chains. Also, cable providers give you the option to instantly watch newly released films on pay per view, but again, the prices of these films are expensive in comparison to movie downloading sites.

The largest and most popular movie service is NetFlix which allows customers to subscribe, for little money, to a service that will deliver movies either to your door or through your computer. It is the quintessential model for on demand service. As more and more families have transformed their living rooms into entertainment oasis’, the internet has come up and met the demand to stay home and have your fun on your own terms.

On demand videos stream either through your TV cable box, a digital video recorder so that you can watch later, or the internet. And like with watching movies you own, these streaming videos include all of the controls that you’re used to like pausing, stopping and skipping forward and backward during a movie.

However, as with music file sharing, there are peer to peer network systems that can send large movie files through a bit torrent, basically offering any movie ever made for free. The dangers of this illegal file sharing is the risk of having adware or spyware downloading into your computer, putting your personal information at risk and slowing down the performance of your computer. Finding a legitimate movie downloads site is not difficult and should be used instead of the free sites because of the protection that they offer from viruses.

Some of the most well known downloading sites, outside of the heavily advertised NetFlix, are Apple’s iTunes, Starz’s Vongo, Amazon’s Unbox, CinemaNow, and MovieLink. The first from the list, iTunes, is not the best fit for a majority of customers. The prices are expensive running from 9.99 to 14.99 and can only be watched on your video iPod or computer. Also, renting is not an option, you are purchasing the movies that you watch.

Because you are only able to watch your downloads on an iPod or your computer, the price is exorbitant for the limited number of venues to watch your movie. Also, iTunes does not offer free movie selections and, for families, it has weak parental controls and no subscription or rental options. It’s a hard pill to swallow to be forced to purchase a movie rather than just spending a little to watch one.

Vongo’s movies are from the Starz library and as such, current blockbusters are not available, but for 9.95 a month there are a large number of rent-only movies available.

Amazon, which has burst forward to corner the downloadable book market with the Kindle device, has made a leap into the movie download business with fair results. The movies you download can work across multiple platforms and devices, unlike the iTunes downloads and the image quality is one of the sharpest available. Rental prices include TV and movies ranging from 1.99 to 3.99 a download.

Most likely the best downloading site of the bunch is CinenaNow which has a total library under 4,500 movies and offers a variety of plans for the consumer including a subscription rate, one at time rentals, free movies and the power to burn what you’ve downloaded onto a blank DVD.

The cheapest option with middling results is found with MovieFlix. With fair image quality and a lack of new movies, there is a mix of free and older movies at your disposal for under $8 a month. Bringing movies into your life in a way that you decide should have you using a legitimate movie download service that works for you.

Free Movie Download Sites Although there is a lot about the gay rights issues, it leans more to giving your all for what you think is important. Whats more, other materials in your old computer are highly toxic to the environment, like mercury, lead and cadmium.
