Online DVD Rental Services
Online DVD rental services allow us to rent DVDs by mail. Most companies let customers keep the DVDs for as long as they want. However, customers are limited to a set number of discs out at any one time. Once a disc is returned, another is sent out. Online DVD rental services allow the customer to create a "queue" of movies they would like to watch. The DVDs from this list are mailed to the customer. The customer will mail back these DVDs after watching them and when the rental service receives these, the next set of movies will be delivered. Blockbuster and Netflix are currently the two best online DVD rental services available.
