I rented movies many years ago, but that was before I got cable tv..with HBO and Cinemax and Encore, etc, as part of the package....

Renting is a pain because of having to take movies back...

And the aforementioned reasons in this thread.

Also, I ALWAYS ran the bloody tapes back!!! But almost always got them NOT run back so that I had to run them back before I could play 'em. ( this was before DVD's came out. )

And availability is a factor, too....
