YouTube rentals

Anybody done it? How is it? I'm an RA in my dorm, putting on a movie night of Jesus Camp. I will be reimbursed the cost. Worth it or does it take forever to load?

Never done it and I've never even heard about that prior to this thread... interesting. Let us know how it goes!

IDK if it was just the internet connection or the movie, but the things have to load and it NEVER started. It sat there loading for 10 minutes, with no progress. Again, could just be the internet connection here, but it was a waste of a few bucks out of our budget. Ended up watching Paranormal Activity 1 and 2 on Netflix instead, so the night still went well. Amazingly, half the people in the room hadn't seen either, so seeing people jump like hell at certain scenes was hilarious.

As far as YouTube rentals, can't really give a fair assessment, given the fact that I'm not certain what the issue was. I will say, it would get costly. Most movies are $2.99 or $3.99, and you have 30 days to start the movie before you lose your purchase. Upon starting it, you have 24 hours to finish it, or you lose your purchase. All in all, Netflix is the better option. I mean, unlimited movies at the monthly cost of about 5 YouTube rentals.

My guess is Netflix's streaming selection is worse than what's available on YouTube.
