Video rental site? which is the best site?
[email protected]
What is the best online video rental site? One where we could rent
Discovery, National Geographic, PBS Series, etc. as well as regular movies and maybe
even video games. We signed up for DVD Avanue - but they don't have much to
choose from except hit movies. We also like foreign movies and more obscure
movies. thanks, Connie

We use (and LOVE) Netflix. www.netflix.com That covers everything you
mentioned except the video games, but I've heard that www.gamefly.com
was great for that. HTH

Not video games, but we've used Netflix for quite a while (two years maybe? a
little less?). It's only U.S., not Canada or otherwhere. Here's a dump of
a documentaries page that lists their subcategories of documentaris and has
their currently most popular rentals (of documentaries). (I hope the
formatting isn't a big mess, but if it is maybe you can go to netflix.com and look.
