Does anyone know of several places in the Villages that rents out DVD's and where they are. I live close to 466A but will drive where ever to get the DVD's. Thanks AL

There is a Blockbuster located in Villages Spanish Plaines Shopping Center off of Hwy 27/441. I rent mine from NetFlix.com. It's less expensive and you pick up your DVD's in your mailbox.

The Publix at Villages Spanish Plaines Shopping Center off of Hwy 27/441 has a dollar movie vending machine or I have seen signs for one last week.

The Publix at 466a might also have one??

The selection on these vending machines is quite limited though.

IF I were you, I would check out Blockbuster Online (which ne and some others use) and NetFlix (which others use). The online service with mailed DVDs is great.

I always have DVDs to watch and it is a short trip to the mail stop to return and get more. And there is no time period to return them.

I am on a plan with Blockbuster Online which allows me to have 3 DVDs out at a time and then return these to any US Blockbuster Store to get replacements for these movies at no cost. Now, though, I will not get any new movies sent in the mail until I return the movies I rented from the specific Blockbuster store. I can keep these movies from a Blockbuster store as long as I want though.

The last time I took my online BB DVD to the Blockbuster store I was on the regular 2 day or 7 day rental period. I figured that sucked since I can mail in a DVD on Monday (before the PO pickup) and get a replacement on Wednesday. And I usually get the latest titles.

But then that was about a year or so ago. I have not seen the inside of the BB brick and mortar store in a long time.

Like many other people I use Netflix. I was very skeptical about their service claims but was astonished to see that they actually can turn around shipments in one day. I don't know how they can accomplish this since the postal service takes 4 days to get a letter to Ocala.

Anyway kudos to them and it's a real easy process.

The rental at WalMart is called Redbox and it's great. You can go out to their website and reserve movies - even before they're released. It's a great option for $1.
