NetFlix and Blockbuster are the leading stores for renting DVDs through the mail.

Extras:
• Netflix also lets you have movies stream from their site and show on your computer. This is free and unlimited (the $4.99 plan includes only 2 hours a month). The pool of movies you can choose from is much smaller than what is available by mail, and you need a fast internet connection.
• Blockbuster also has plans with 'Total Access', which allows you to exchange rentals in person at one of their stores, as well as by mail. Click on the help link at the Blockbuster site to get the details on all their plans.

Advantages of renting DVDs by mail :

1. Flat (monthly) fee covers rentals and postage costs (both to and from you)
2. No late fees
3. No trips to the rental store. DVDs can be returned by putting them in your mailbox in their prepaid mailer.
4. More titles to choose from (NetFlix has 90K+, Blockbuster has 80K+), and you can make more effective choices (you create an on-line wish list, you have access to web movie review sites, on-line rental stores offer guides and recommendations based on your tastes) .
5. There's no obligation. You can cancel your subscription at any time.
