The best way to get a new release is to use your Xbox (NetFlix), cable or DirecTV to download them over the internet.

Okay as far as im concerned its either netflix or blockbuster. But to download the movie and stream it netflix is your pic. I use blockbuster because i get the movies in the mail and return them to the store(if i want to) and get more movies for no charge or i can put them in the mail. If i go to the store though I get more movies for no charge plus once they get scanned my next movies in my queue online get sent to me so i usually have 6 movies at my house at all times. The only problem with this is they do have the downloading instantly of movies but you have to pay for it unlike netflix. I think this will change in the next few months. So overall I have to give it to Blockbuster just because you can bring them into the store and get new ones for no charge so thats instant gratification.

I have tried a few different (all legal) services and my favorites are:

http://www.fancast.com

http://www.netflix.com
Netflix has unlimited viewing for a small monthly fee, but a somewhat limited selection.

Amazon Video on Demand has a great selection and is easy to use

But the best if you are a Mac user and don't mind paying is iTunes.

Thousands of people are signing up to rent movies online every day. NetFlix invented the online dvd rental service back in 1999 and is still the leader. But Intelliflix is blazing new trails by offering over 60,000 Movies and Video Game rentals with annual plans starting at half the price of any other dvd rental service.

BlockBuster is now agressively trying to take customers away from NetFlix with lower pricing and by leveraging their 4500 retail stores. With an introductory price of $9.99 for the first month, and $14.99 per month thereafter (NetFlix.com is a couple dollars higher), they also give you printable eCoupons for two FREE in-store movie or game rentals, and other special offers.

The most important features from BlockBuster, NetFlix and Intelliflix are organized into the comparison chart below.

Check out this personal user experience:
Choosing an Online DVD Rental Service

In 2004 I was a NetFlix subscriber and quite happy until they started throttling me (slowing down how quickly I received new movies). A recent class action suit seems to have brought that tactic out in the open and I presume they'll stop doing it or make the practice explicit in their terms of service. With that out of the way, NetFlix has the largest selection (circa 55,000 titles), competitive pricing, and probably the most sophisticated website, refined over several years or operations. So at this time, they are again my number one choice for general DVD movie rentals. Take advantage of their free two-week trial offer.

June of 2005 I signed up with BlockBuster Online largely because they were three dollars cheaper than NetFlix for the standard 3-out-at-a-time package. The selection of movies was comparable and my DVDs arrived quickly. BlockBuster has raised their prices to match NetFlix pricing now, so that advantage has disappeared. However, BlockBuster sweetens their online rental subscription with 2 free in-store movie rentals plus subscriber-only deals on in-store DVD purchases and most recently, free movie theatre tickets. Thus, for the same price as NetFlix you'll receive in-store goodies from a BlockBuster Online subscription which NetFlix can't match.

Intelliflix however, is the scrappy kid on the block! On many counts, these guys are my new favorite. The 3-out pricing is a buck cheaper than the other two, BUT.... they also offer video game rentals, adult movie rentals and flexibility NetFlix and Blockbuster haven't matched. With or without a subscription plan, you can always rent any movie or game on a pay-as-you-go plan (free shipping, a week to watch it and return in pre-paid mailer). But perhaps the thing which sets Intelliflix apart from the big fish in the pond is the pre-paid annual membership which gives you unlimited access to all their products for just $8.25 per month during the 12 months of your membership (50% cheaper than NetFlix or BlockBuster Online).

Bottom Line: To get your favorite films plus video games and/or adult movies, OR to save the most money, choose Intelliflix. If you think you'll take advantage of the two free in-store movie rentals at your local BlockBuster store, try their online rental service. If none of that matters much to you, that leaves NetFlix as the logical choice for their massive selection and excellent website for finding films to rent and managing selections in your rental queue.

To be able to watch DivX movies you need to have The DivX Web Player available. 66Stage also offers download URLs for movies listed. ALSO:
