The Many Entertainment Platforms

By Peter Sanchez


Do you like spending a lot money on movies and not getting that many? Do you get the most out of the devices that can handle entertainment? Do you take your media everywhere you go? Let's find out what you can to maximize your spending and what you get for your money. I have a couple of tips for you that can help you maximize your entertainment experience.

Movies can be a big expense in your month to month spending, I want to let you know how you can maximize your dollar. If you only watch a couple of movies a month, you might be fine with doing something like Redbox or just renting on any digital media service. But if you watch more than 2 movies a month, you should be getting Blockbuster's service. For $9.99 a month you can have one movie at a time, but you can utilize their in-store exchange option and end up with close to 30 new movies to watch a month! You don't have to wait for new releases like the other services and you can just swing by any blockbuster on your way home and get a new movie every day, the most bang for your buck.

When it comes to music, there are a couple of things you can do. If you own an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, then your best option is iTunes. Anything you purchase on iTunes will automatically download on all of your devices. This gives you the best quality music you can have and the easiest way to get it onto all of your devices. Then you will be able to have all of your music wherever you go. It's so easy, that it makes it worth purchasing to save the headache of syncing devices, transferring files, and saving you time. The other way to get music would be to get it from a friend or get the physical media from a store like Best Buy or Rasputan Records.

Movies on the go is easy as well in today's world because of streaming services. Netflix does a great job because they have been doing it the longest and they have it down pretty good. Nothing is perfect, but Netflix comes close. The only problem is Netflix's selection of movies is not all that great. You will be better off with Netflix if you like to watch a lot of TV shows on the go. Speaking of go, HBO Go is another great service to utilize if you are already subscribing to HBO because it is included with every subscription, you just have to set it up and you can have all episodes of all HBO series in the palm of your hand.

There is no limit to how much entertainment you can have, there is only the time factor of how long you actually get to spend relaxing while you're being entertained. With all the portable devices available now, you can squeeze more entertainment in than ever before. I would suggest getting an iPod touch for music and getting Blockbuster's movie service for movies. This way you get the best of both worlds, maximize your monthly movies and easily listen to your music anywhere you go.
