Who rents (online or off) instead of buying and why?

If you KNOW you're gonna see a movie for the next year and still enjoy it, by all means buy it. But a lot of times, I see a movie, and it gets old after watching once or twice, so in that case renting is the best way.

With both porn and non-porn movies, I prefer to rent first, and then when I find a movie I know I want to add to my collection I buy it.

I am leery of buying a movie without first seeing it. Even with the fine reviews on ADT, there are some movies that just don't do it for me. I would rather learn that on a relatively cheap rental rather than on a purchase.

I have just started renting from flicksmart.com based on a different thread here at ADT and have been happy with the results so far. I like the idea of being able to keep the movie for as long as I wish before returning it without worrying about late fees. This gives me a good chance to decide if I want to purchase the film at a later date.

Have a great week!! ~Always, HoldenMagroin

i usually buy for the sake of collecting. if i watch it a few times, i can always come back to it later and find something nice. i haven't ever rented because i hate buying something i've seen before and i hate having to give something back that i love.

I'm like HoldenMagroin, I usually rent a movie prior to buying it. It's a bummer to buy a movie only to find out it wasnt worth it. Renting movies is relatively cheap compared to buying them. If I find something that interest me after having seen it once, I usually buy it and add them to my collection.

I use to rent a lot more movies in the old days. Now with DVDs, I buy a lot more, since DVDs are suppose to last forever, right?

They do last forever, or close enough. That might mean you own crapola content for eternity.
