Wait no longer, that time is here! Just ask the MPAA.
Yeah, I think the glory days of renting movies ended with the demise of the VHS. I used to rent movies all the time back then, though some really old movies would be worn out and have lines though them, but were still watchable. DVD on the other hand... well... I remember I kept getting free rentals at this one place because every time I'd rent a movie from them it would freeze somewhere between the middle and the end and they give me a voucher for a free rental to make up for it. I kept trying over and over again, and just about every movie I'd get from them I'd end up having to skip a couple of chapters in order to get past the unreadable parts. I eventually threw the my last voucher away. IMHO renting DVDs has always been a huge pain in the rear end and not worth it. I miss the good old glory days when I could go into my video rental store and find just about any movie ever released on home video, mine for three days for the small fee of $1.00. I used to watch so many really great old movies that will probably never see a DVD release.
