There's not a tremendous amount of films I couldn't do without but there are some gems. IF YouTube were using Roku, IF they offered a subscription instead of a price per view, then Maybe. BTW, If you want to see a good, seriously demented movie, catch "Ink" on Netflix. It's an indie that couldn't get some serious distribution but after this I think they'll be able to.

I believe (although prices are fluctuating) that you shouldn't need that much money to <a href="http://www.rentacar-topcars.ro/" rel="nofollow">rent a car</a> but it really depends on what you want to drive. You can't rent a mercedes for 20 $ a day that's for sure but i don't get people who are renting a car for 6 months when they can buy it :)) Renting a car can be a viable solution if you’re on a trip to a foreign country and you hate driving all the way there.

I also have a Media center desktop attached to it (with a BluRay Burner) so that I can play Blu Ray disks (from NetFlix) all for only $20 a month. The Roku box has the ability to rent or buy films from Amazon and after watching a free movie (part of the deal with Roku) if they think I'm going to rent an HD movie for $3.99 a pop, they are frakking nuts. I watch a bunch of movies because I'm not much into TV (and rerun season is still with us) so I've got good value for the bucks.

I'm not going to rent Batman. Even though I have it, I'd want to rent something more along the lines of Zombi 2. But, if YouTube were to do this... I would lay a bet that it would become larger than NetFlix. I tried an online rent service years ago and it kinda sucked... but YouTube would undoubtedly do a pretty impressive job of it if they were able to gain the rights for such an endeavor and they are one of the few companies that could afford it.<br><br>Of course a big hurdle is, how do you stop people from capturing those movies?

However, if we're talking about possibly streaming or renting films that have yet to land a distributor (like films that were on the festival circuit that were never picked up by anyone) then I can see the appeal in that. If they'd offer that I would. If we're talking about renting or streaming movies that have a dvd release then probably not.

But as of now, I won't rent video's from YouTube especial on the current set up I have on my big screen TV in living room. Maybe in the future where all is integrated to our TV system and YouTube is just a remote control away. Maybe, just maybe I'll rent from them.
