DVD Rental Kiosks

The usual things people complain about when it comes to renting DVDs include membership fees, membership requirements, inaccessible location and inefficient customer service.

Now here's a solution that will address such complaints: DVD rental kiosks.

DVD rental kiosks are fast replacing the local video rental shop. Patronizing these kiosks offer a lot of advantages.

Where to Rent DVDs

DVD rental kiosks - since they really are just machines - are naturally smaller than video rental stores. Because of this, most of them tend to be more strategically located. They can be placed at the entrance of the mall, near the church or right inside your condominium.

Choosing Movies

If you're looking for a particular movie, you either look for it from one shelf or another or find an employee who's willing to assist you in your search. But with DVD rental kiosks, you can easily browse movies by title or category.

Borrowing and Paying

To rent movies at a DVD rental store, you'll have to fall in line. After that, the employee would have to attend to a number of things before they can list the movies you picked out in your file. These include disc checking, membership verification, PIN code entry and a lot more. After such a long-winded process, you may even be forced to pay cash if they don't accept credit cards. If you get movies from a DVD rental kiosk, all you have to do is press the "rent" button, swipe your card and you're done.

Online Video Game Rental

There are lots of places on the web you can go to and find out about renting video games online. But there's a big secret, that none of them want you to know. Keep reading while I illuminate.

There are a number of places you can rent video games online, and if your reading this, I'm sure you've already know most of them. Places like GameFly, GameZnFlix, and Gamerang. They're all pretty competitive, and offer very similar services. GameFly seems to be the most established, with the largest selection of titles, and arguably the best customer service and process for getting your games turned around quickly.

All these companies have struggled with turn around time. The biggest complaint the industry has heard from customers, is how long it takes to ship games to and fro, using the postal service. New distribution centers throughout the US, have helped. In addition, now the post office will scan your returned games right at the post office. This notifies the rental companies that they can ship your next game(s) out right away. Theoretically cutting the turn around time in half.

The industry is getting better, and has been growing substantially year after year. Things can only get better for the consumer. In the spirit of consumer fairness, the big secret I alluded to is, that pretty much all those game rental review sites get a kick back (referral fee) from the rental companies. It's common practice, but you the consumer should be aware, that the top rated companies may simply be the one with the best referral fee.

Knowing that, you should really take any review you read with a grain of salt (including this article), and judge for yourself. The smartest move any consumer can make in the online video game rental business, is to only sign up for companies that offer free trials. Then, judge for yourself risk free. That's the most unbiased review you'll ever receive.
