Jan 30, 2008 -- Rent DVDs before buying them

Clark recently read a story about the direct-to-consumer DVD market -- the kind of titles that skip the theaters and go straight to DVD. Clark's kids love everything Disney does, and they've really been one of the pioneers of this business model. The sell-through market for DVDs has become very mainstream -- think Wal-Mart and Best Buy. But Clark has a word of advice: Rent films first before you buy them. Yes, this may cost you a little more upfront, but think about how much you'll save by avoiding movies you only watch once because they're so terrible! Meanwhile, the DVD business is headed for serious trouble because there's now a device that allows you to copy DVDs to a hard-drive. Clark has this device and currently is testing it out. You can put your entire collection on it and have it with you wherever you go. Clark will let you know if it's any good. The only movies Clark and his wife buy are kid's movies. That's because his children watch them over and over again and like them more each time.
