Know Your Internet

Best Place to Buy DVDs: www.deepdiscount.com

I like my online DVD shopping centers like I like my women - cheap and fast. If you like your online DVD shopping centers the same way, then you’ll love Deep Discount. In addition to DVDs, they have video games, books, and other stuff like that. Already invested in a high def DVD system? They have you covered too. Sometimes their price difference isn’t a ton, but with good service and fast shipping, I always look to Deep Discount first.



Best Place to Rent DVDs: www.netflix.com

Last year I tried both Netflix and Blockbuster Online. Each has its advantages: Netflix doesn’t suck, and Blockbuster gets you free movies in the store. However, each also has its disadvantages: Netflix doesn’t have a brick and mortar store, and Blockbuster’s website is horrible. Its literally worse than Woot! during a Bag of Crap. I found that shipping times and prices were all similar, so your choice depends if you want quality or a free movie. If you’re like me, go with Netflix.



Best Place for DVD Reviews: www.dvdtalk.com

A quick glance of the recently released and reviewed “Meet the Robinsons” says that it is “Highly Recommended” and gives a review of the movie and the DVD, such as sound fidelity and image crispness. On the fence about two movies because your Netflix cue is miles long and you only want to try one new thing? Check it out and then you won’t get stuck with “Blood Monkey”, starring a CGI Monkey you never see.
