    we don't support backing up rentals

    their download to own looks OK, nice concept, a computer copy, a portable device copy and a single dvd(wonder of they burn it)

          I agree Chewy. The majority of movies I buy are a month old. I wait until Movie Gallery moves the rentals to the purchase shelf...pick through for a good copy and usually get 3 or 4 titles for cheaper than one new one.
          The only time I actually buy a brand new movie is if it is something that I believe warrants the cash. Usually something like Lord of the Rings, Spiderman, Xmen....any of my favorite genre titles.

            also folks, don't forget about pawn shops. no different that buying "previously enjoyed" movies from BB - except cheaper. i get most for 5 smackaroonies. some a tad more if they are newer titles.

              Buddy of mine hits the flea market every Sunday, bought the whole Sopranos
              Season 5 for like 20$, mint new condition. I have gotten burned off of the used rentals a time or two.

                  they come with a guarrantee to play, and do in most players(standalone),
                  probably take it back but I hate to fuss that the disk won't back up.

                  If it's an important title I just pay the big bucks at wallyworld.

                      The downloads to own service gives you the film on DVD, and two download versions; one for a PC and one for a portable device. The bonus material and original packaging is not included.
                      Your DVD copy will be sent to you upon purchase of the download ‘bundle’. It will come in a LOVEFiLM brand envelope. Please allow up to 5 working days for delivery.
                      You will recieve the movie on a DVD. Must be easier to backup that one.
