      None.

      99 times out of 100, I'd rather see something I haven't seen before than rewatch a film. The other 1% of the time I'll rent.

            Prison Break season 2 blows so bad it certainly doesn't go into 'must have' list?

              I think I will find some space for that
              I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                I mean, the first season, especially first episodes.. awesome. Brilliant. Something new. You could get excited about the idea. You knew it was a great idea.

                But then it kind of .. slowed down, and the season 2 just started blowing bad.

                This is my opinion. I'm glad if you guys enjoy it.

                    DD, me too. That's the original one, it's special... but I think the answer is you need both!

                      Most dvds are very cheap once the excitement dies down (...and can be bought used), to the point that purchasing them is cheaper than renting them twice - and most dvds I own, I have watched twice or more, and will watch again in the future.

                          hexa, right.. in the US, they got sweet rental deals... this one.. netflix? Or what ever it was, where you can order DVDs to your house and it was cheap and the options you get were pretty good.. I mean that is a good service as far as the idea goes.

                          My friend who lives in the states, he always has few DVDs at his house, he gets them all the time and considering the price he pays, it's a great deal.

                          Like in here, you have to pay.. 4 to 5 euros per DVD usually, and you get to keep it 24 hours. That's expensive. You would do that if you really want to have a movie night or something, get few films and rent them.. but you can't just rent them all the time in bunches, because it's too expensive.

                            Netflix/zip.ca rules.

                            I've got 3 DVDs on hand at any time, when I return one I select "Returned" online and they immediately send me another from my list.

                              You know what, we don't even have that concept here. I smell franchise winner, who ever gets it first.

                                of course you couldn't hit the markets with this concept and come out as the winner because we have few big rental businesses so they already have the source tapped in for movies, and when you move in, if you would grow, they'd just adopt it and kick your ass. So you'd need to start a genuine netflix franchise, adn for that you'd need a lot of money to buy it.

                                You knwo what would be cool though? I have an idea, that is the same, except you rent games. Xbox, PC.. what ever. All you would need is deals on multiple licenses, that is, you could like rent a game for a month, then you'd have to return it and the license expires.

                                If you could do that, if you could negotiate deals with the industry so, that you would be able to have multiple licenses on one game, but one license at a time, you would score ****ing big.
