The Definitive Source For Consumers Curious About Renting Movies Online Has Arrived: The Online Movie Rental Guide Goes Live Today

The launch of The Online Movie Rental Guide makes searching for the right place to rent online movies a lot easier. Exhaustive comparisons and a beautifully organized site means the growing legion of online renters won't need to look anywhere else.

Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) September 29, 2006 -- The creators of the Online Movie Rental Guide are pleased to announce it's live launch on September 29th, 2006. Comprised of a comprehensive comparison center and information-rich resource outlet, http://www.onlinemovierentalguide.com is the first of its kind and quality. With a simple to use interface and attractive layout, the OMRG has collected information on all of the major online movie rental services, as well as the up and coming players. Having concluded exhaustive research on the programs each company has to offer, the creators of the OMRG believe that no other resource is required for curious consumers looking to join the growing legion of online movie renters.

Statistics compiled by the Video Software Dealers Association indicate that the bricks and mortar rental outlet is still an essential part of many North American communities. Indeed, in 2005, consumers spent $24.3 billion buying and renting DVDs and VHS cassettes, far outweighing the $8.75 billion spent at the box office. And as home theatre technology becomes affordable to more families, it seems obvious that those numbers will continue to trend in the current direction. But a quick moment spent with Alexa, the online traffic ranking utility, reveals another interesting trend: in February of this year, Netflix, one of the biggest online movie rental services in the US, was ranked in the Top 100 most visited sites on the Internet. Clearly, as consumers continue to take advantage of the convenience that video rental affords, they are also now applying that same principle to how they actually get their movies.

The Online Movie Rental guide aims to simplify the process by doing the research for the consumer. It brings together essential information from a number of different companies and presents them in side-by-side comparison matrices along with detailed descriptions for each. The OMRG acts first as an encyclopedia of what's available in the market, then as a launching pad to the subscription services themselves via links directly to the vendors. Information is available for renters in both the US and Canada, and an online forum allows discussion of trends, promotions and general user experience. Articles pertinent to the industry are assembled for review, and users can take part in polls regarding a variety of related topics.

As the trend towards online movie rental services continues, consumers will look for a resource that takes the guesswork out of selecting the right one. The Online Movie Rental guide, with a complete collection of service providers in North America, aims to be that resource.
