The hardest thing about watching a movie at home is deciding what to watch. Whether you're into big-blasting action spectacles or soppy romantics, there is something for everyone and all tastes are well catered for. The sound and picture quality of DVD's is vastly improved compared to videocassettes, which makes the experience so much more enjoyable these days.

Renting

With DVD's replacing bulky cassettes, they are much easier, safer and cheaper to post - so video rental has entered a new era. You can order online and get your DVD delivered the next day, it's so simple. And when you've watched the film, you just post it back at no extra cost. Most deals are based on a monthly charge and there's usually no limit on how many films you rent each month. A few offer a free trial period of one month and you cancel at the end of the period without obligation.

Buying

Because their costs are so much lower, you can get much cheaper deals from online stores than in the high street shops these days. The choice is much wider, and searching for titles is also more comprehensive and simple to do. There are a number of sites that offer the opportunity to buy second-hand DVD's for a lot less money. You are risking quality by buying second-hand, but you can certainly find bargains. The strength in competition for DVD sales has basically meant you can get DVD's cheaper, easier and faster than ever before. If the post takes too long for your liking, rental shops now offer great savings on ex-rental films. You can buy in-store cheaper than ever before, and keep your DVD's for good. And the purchasing opportunities don't stop there - some even stock ice cream and popcorn - you can't go wrong!

Hints and Tips

Shop around - you may think you've found a bargain, but the DVD you want may be even cheaper somewhere else.

Check whether the price includes postage and packaging.

If there's a film you don't know, check out reader reviews to see what other people think of it.

Check if the DVD you are buying includes any extras or bonus features. Often a disc just has the feature film on it's own, so if you want extras, make sure the one you're buying has them.
