You can't get the enhanced quality version, but you get the divx quality version.

Also, if you copy the movie from the content folder to another folder before you play it, i believe you may be able to keep it for awhile

for those of you who cant find it, try viewing hidden folders (yeah, the folder that has the text file that says "please do not change anything in here" or something.

A credit or debit card is required for age verification to rent NC-17 and/or NR-18 rated movies. If you do not wish to submit a credit or debit card, please remove all NC-17 and/or NR-18 rated movies from your Shopping Cart.

Damn, heh

hey joker add this to the OP...

this place has coupon codes to rent the first movie for .99¢

so with the $5 credit you can actually get two free movie downloads...

the current coupon code it FIRST99...

i couldnt do it b/c i had already downloaded a movie but for you guys that try it out from this point forward you should be able to get two rentals out of this for free... .99¢ for first movie and $3.95 for the second one.

check the site in the future for different coupon codes as i would think they would change farly often.

even hotter now - lol.

So, how could I "copy" the movies and be able to watch them after 24hrs? I'm not sure where the "content" folder is....

DRM converter?

Try to run it through DVD Decrypter.

Sweet. Kill Bill Vol. 2 is on its way. Don't laugh, I saw the first one, but never got to see the second one, so I figure if it's free, why not?

Why do you want to try and get around it?
Why not just be legit about it ?

I sell dvds on ebay so I can get all the ones they have on new dvds for 7-10 bucks wholesale. So I don't want to keep it, just want to be able to watch it on my TV, not the best quality though.

Why do people overclock computers? Why do people mod their cars? Why do people "hack" Tivo's, Xboxes, DVD players? To maximise returns on their investment and to learn what makes their devices "tick". Do some people put their hacks and mods to illegal use? Sure. However, some people just want to learn more about the technology, learn how it works, and test its limits. There is nothing wrong with that IMO.

I think it will try to connect to the Internet to verify that you still have a rental (hasn't been too long or haven't watched it yet). So that could be a problem on a flight. Unless it downloads the license first...
