When you yourself have been intrigued by the sudden appearance of multiple DVD kiosk brands across the US and Europe, and are considering either supplementing your current vending machine business, or are considering adding DVD rental kiosks as an additional source of income to your existing store, then in this information, we will compare three main DVD movie delivery methods in the today's economy. We shall compare and contrast the classic Video store rental, the Online movie delivery and the upcoming DVD rental kiosks.

The very first two have been around for quite a while whilst the DVD kiosk is a newcomer to the game. How is DVD kiosk popularity more likely to fare over another decade?

DVD kiosk versus DVD store movie rental

The question of DVD vending machine versus DVD store movie rental is simple enough at all. The emergence of DVD vending machine franchises was apparently pretty much the past nail in the coffin of the video store rental business model. The recent bankruptcy of Blockbuster and its reorganization that features a big network of US DVD vending machine locations testifies to that. While a movie rental store may possibly still hold a larger number of DVD and Blu Ray disks, its overhead when it comes to monthly rent, and personnel costs, is just overwhelming enough to put the video rental store business model at a significant disadvantage as compared to the DVD vending machine business.

DVD kiosk versus online movie downloads

Internet or online movie downloads seem like the absolute most efficient and simple method of video delivery. Imagine just visiting the web site, selecting the most effective movie, and streaming it right to your hi-def TV or the eKino projector in your media room! Well, while this could work for some, it could not work for most of us at this time. First, there is a question of bandwidth. DVD movies take quite some time to buffer up, and most folks have better things to do than watch for a video to begin playing. Remember, the movie watching is said to be entertaining, and not a geeky lesson in computers and networks.

Another issue working against online downloads of large videos is that a lot of people at this time clearly do not know how to get in touch their computer to their TV. And even should they do, again, managing two complex devices such as for example today's computers and today's HDTV's isn't any walk in the park. It is so easier just to pop the DVD or the Blu Ray disk in to the tray and press the PLAY button! So, for now, when it comes to simplicity, fun, and speed, the DVD kiosk version of movie delivery wins, at the very least for some people.
