We enjoy watching movies on the hi-tech sleek digital flat screen monitor of our computer. Most chains with physical stores like Blockbuster or Hollywood Rentals charge membership fees for renting DVDs or Videos to their customers. But we can save the $10-$15 membership fees per year by using an online movie rental service like MOVIELINK.
They have FREE membership for all. Customers pay only when they download a movie from their website. Movielink is an authentic movie rental service. It does not belong to the genre of umpteen peer to peer online movie download sites, the legality of whose services are questionable. So far we have been pretty satisfied with Movielink's download speed and the quality of their movies. They have a good collection of movies in various categories. Recently they have also started selling DVDs at affordable prices.
