Even though the aroma of fresh popped popcorn and a darkened theater with a towering wide screen lures us to new released films, most of us still view much more movies at home than at the theater. With the introduction of online movie rental and viewing movie downloads nearly several years ago, the selections offered by the local video store are not the only options viewers have for their home entertainment.

Aside from the improved affordability, movie fans enjoy watching movies at home because of convenience. With busy lives that keeps us at work as well as on the road, time spent relaxing at home will be at a premium and any service that allows us to enjoy that time without additional complexity or effort is highly prized. With this in mind, which of these movie services provides the most value for the home viewer?

Traditional video stores may be convenient for some last second movie picks; or at least convenient if a person lives within a few blocks of the store.
