I'm a college student on a budget. What student isn't (besides those with trust funds...congratulations!)? So when a new movie comes out on DVD that I've been waiting to see because: A) I didn't have the money to spend $9 in a theatre or B) The movie didn't look like it was worthy of my $9 but ended up being pretty good, I usually want to buy it but then I don't have the cash to buy it.
With new release DVD's starting at $20 and Blu-Ray at $30, it's pretty hard to justify spending that kind of cash on movie that I may end up detesting with a passion and never watch again. I could do this and when I happen to purchase a movie that I don't enjoy or that I know I will never watch again, I would just go to my local Video/Game trading place and get $2. Great deal huh? Spend $20, get $2 back. If every company ran on 10%, good bye corporate America!
My solution: I use free online services like VideoHybrid or Stage6 to select the first part of a movie and watch it. This way, I get a feel for the movie at less than perfect quality and if I like it then I can go out and purchase it. If I don't, I don't buy it. (Yes, I realize this goes against everything corporate America stands for.) With the recent news that VideoHybrid is being sued and Stage6 being shutdown for an increasing amount of work, I had to find a new site.
Well I have! Watch-Movies.net is a great site that offers several different directories for each movie they list and most are divided into sections for easy, better quality viewing than a full film version. This is a great film site and has a rating system. I've never viewed an entire film at this location, but it has definitely led me to purchase several DVD's and Blu-ray's.
I'm looking forward to the day when Netflix is available on PS3 as the people over at Kotaku are speculating! One can only hope!

One of the Greatest Sites...EVER!
When I was checking out some of my favorite sites, I just happened to come across a great site!
BitTorrent has been making news over the past few weeks on some of the major tech sites. Because no one user distributes or owns a copy of a movie, tv show or cartoon, BitTorrent is basically the loop hole in the copyright laws that have been stirring up the world since the collapse of the original Napster.
The problem with BitTorrent is that it requires you to find a download manager you like and then you have to search out for the pieces (torrents) that you want.
There are 2 issues here:
1. It's a lot of work and technological understanding for nothing that is guaranteed to work.
2. Unless you have a huge hard drive (or two), you will fill it with media to a point of crashing.
Now what if there was a site that eliminates all of this and allows you to watch movies directly on your browser without using hard drive space? What if you didn't have to search out for the pieces but instead they were listed right there for you to click through each piece of the media?
Well now there is. The site is called VideoHybrid and it offers all of the above!
VideoHybrid has an ever growing list of new and older blockbuster movies (i.e. Transformers, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Simpsons Movie, The Godfather, etc.) as well TV shows, anime and cartoons.
All of these pieces of media are divided into parts and broken down to about 30 minute sections and the quality is not high definition, but these are still highly desired movies for free with no risk at the moment!
Give the site a try and you can thank me later!
