I just recently received a notice for a new, online video-rental service
that specializes in international, African-American, and indie films. I
can't vouch for their service, but they have an interesting list of films
and their rates sound reasonable. There's no membership fee and the rental
costs are:
"The rental fee is $8.00 for one title, $6.00 each for two or more.
Roundtrip shipping charges are exactly what we pay, on average $6.00 for an
order of two VHS titles, $3.00 for two DVD titles."
What other services are folks using these days?
I've had good luck with NetFlix, which seems to be the most popular
DVD-rental source. (They had a huge IPO recently.) And Facets (
www.facets.org -- not dot-com) has been doing rentals on- and off-line for
almost 30 years.
Where do folks go for rentals (not purchases) of non-mainstream video?
