I usually watch movies I own. Sometimes I hit up on-demand.

No Netflix in Canada.. yet...

I have satellite so I don't get on demand...

So I either rent it, or wait for it to come to the movie networks a few months later.

i usually just watch HBO,Cin, axn, or whatever..

I usually either rent or buy DVD's or Blu-Ray discs and watch them on the TV in the living room or I may watch them on my other TV in the bedroom. I also go through Netflix as well as having a membership to several diferent video stores. Every now and then I will do a movie on demand but usually not....since I normally have so many others that are laying around that have not been watched yet. I'm a real big movie watcher.

I buy a shitload of dvd's and blu-rays. Still got loads i haven't even opened yet.

Other than that, i order a movie on pay-per-view through my cable company...

Rent... and I live in a small town, so I pay $11 for a 2 night rental. It hurts.

I got an old xbox, asked some pros to soft-hack it, plus I put a 100GB HDD in it, and upload anything in divx format or watch DVD directly from it. We love it, however I think soon I'll buy a ps3 or xbox360 to play some games again and have a less noisy and old machine for my home.

Matyko, fwiw my ps3 sounds like a jet turbine.. . I've even thought of putting it outside the room.

I rent them, most often. The movie store is only a 2 minute walk away, so it's quicker than downloading.

I rent on half priced days...

Have a theater room set up .. full surround sound and a projector .. its incredible. Room is fully soundproofed so we can crank it right up, and its similar to going to the cinema. If you guys haven't got a home theater room set up you should, its never been cheaper to get a good setup either.

I have a 60" DLP and just recently we signed up for Netflix because I can stream a ton of movies and tv series using my XBOX 360. Xbox also has HD movies you can rent for about 50 cents cheaper than Time Warner. We also get DVDs from Netflix and I have an upscale DVD player... next I will get a blueray or PS3... I haven't decided yet.

I have a great surround sound system I bought years ago (around 98) that I still use... it's Kenwood with 6 speakers. I paid $284 for it... probably one of the best home entertainment purchases I ever made.

from dvd's

I like my collection :winkwink:

We have all sorts of TV/Video gadgets.

The Slingbox and the 360 with Netflix are two pretty cool devices.

I also use TVersity to stream/transcode files on my computers to the PS3/360.

I download a lot from iTunes and run those thru AppleTV. Lots of movies and free podcasts there.

Netflix straight to my 360.

I get a dvd from the local store sometimes or if its cold outside watch a pay per view movie from the cable company.:)

wow...thats crazy! dont you have cable or something?

Depends on if just me, or da ladies are over. :winkwink: Normally DVD. But sometimes will watch internet movie. Sometimes cable. Really varies from month to month. Typically it is one of the following.

1. Small DVD player I have on my desk (normally for traveling). That way I do not tie up a cpu.

2. Watch on one of the three machines in my office.

3. Watch on regular TV in one of the LR, or BR.

:2 cents:

VHS and Beta.

blockbuster and redbox

Blockbuster and Rogers

my wife and I rent dvds couple times a week.. I also buy dvds from amazon and couple other places since many of the ones I want to see are not available for sale or rental in the USA since I like alot of foreign films

Flix. The movies mostly suck, but it's just background noise.

newzbin .......

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Most of the time internet.

I prefer watching DVD's..

Basic cable... I don't watch tv. It's just for my kids to watch cartoons.

I use the dvd delivery from Blockbuster which provide a Netflix like service for the UK. Then we also have the cable movie channels but I don't actually use those much. My husband is addicted to buying bluray at the moment too.

It can certainly be. We're closing in on 100 Bluray titles in our collection. I have a few HDDVD players too and we have been hording those as well.

doe straight off of rapidshare go under "internet"?

I vote buy DVDs from store. The simpler way.

I buy DVD's, order on demand, watch normal cable movies. Everything. Just depends if theres some on or not.

Yesterday I was hungover so I watched 3 movies through the day. Bourne Ultimatum, 21, and American Gangster. All of them were on the movie channels with my cable company. Not a bad day :)

It has also made him addicted to buying bookcases to hold them.

i watch tv naked

Usually either buy dvd's or PPV.

Usually sitting on my ass with some sort of snack and beverage.

I usually watch movies from dvd, im not that comfortable to the net.

Usually in front of my 65" with a drink in hand. Usually a pay per view movie or dvd/blue ray
