Netflix launched its service in 1999 and is the world's largest online DVD movie rental service, with more than 5 million members.  They provide the biggest selection of DVDs, an easy way to choose movies, and super-fast, free delivery.  They reach more than 90 percent of their members with one business-day delivery, and they provide free, prepaid return envelopes.  Best of all, there are no due dates and no late fees.  There are also no commitments, and members can cancel at any time.

Netflix offers more than 65,000 DVD movie titles.  This is more than 20 times the number of titles found in your local movie rental store.  You’ll find everything from the latest big Hollywood releases to hard-to-locate documentaries, independent films, as well as TV shows and how-to videos. From Yoda to yoga, Netflix has it.

You can’t go wrong by selecting the online rental service from the nation’s largest chain of video stores.  Spurred by competition from Netflix, Blockbuster came on strong with its own rent-by-mail service in 2004.

Blockbuster’s online DVD movie library has more than 60,000 titles, and it's growing every week. They have classic cinema, modern favorites, television shows, children's programming, health and fitness workouts, and the hottest new releases.  One advantage of this service is that you get 4 free in-store movie rentals each month.  The only problem you’ll have is deciding which movie to rent next.

Intelliflix is the only national online DVD movie rental company to offer movies, games, and mature content with over 60,000 titles, no late fees or due dates and free shipping both ways with envelopes they provide for you! Once you select the DVDs you want to watch they are delivered to your door in 1-3 business days. Intelliflix distinguishes itself by offering thousands of adult titles.

Intelliflix also offers the widest variety of plans at the lowest rates of any national online DVD movie and game rental company. You can choose from a selection of Movie Plans or from their combination Movie, Games and Mature Plans.

DVD Avenue offers a smaller selection (over 25,000 titles) than some of the competitors, but makes up for it with a large selection of adult move rental options.  You can rent as many DVDs as you want and keep them as long as you want.  Again, postage is paid both ways, and there are no commitments (cancel anytime).

This service let's you rate the films you watch. Their recommendation engine then gives you good advice on what other movies you're likely to enjoy. The service can track the preferences of different members of your family (such as kids movies for the kids, and mature content for the parents). DVD Avenue offers lots of movie recommendations, with such categories as Expert Picks, Most Popular, New Releases, The Duds, Monthly Top Ten, Oscar Winners, etc.

GameZnFlix subscribers can rent a combination of Movies on DVD, HD-DVD, BluRay, and UMD as well as Games for XBox 360, XBox, PS/2, PS1 and Game Cube. With their basic plan, subscribers can have a combination of up to three movies or games in their possession at any time.

There’s FREE postage both ways for movies and games, and normal shipping time is 2 to 5 business days. Some titles are specially ordered for members if they do not have them in stock.  Keep your movies and games as long as you like. There’s never a late fee and you'll never have to worry about dropping a rental off at the store on time.
