It was popular in the past and these days we get movies online or we load these over a USB and watch.

Have you ever rented a CD and watched movies?

Yes, I have done that a lot before. I usually rent movies to watch at home, especially on weekends.

This time, no more CDs around. The CD businesses were outsmarted by free videos watching online via mobile phone.

No, not in the recent time. We used to take video cassette on rent around 35 years ago as we had video player in those time.

It was many years ago. This time we can watch our favorite movie by just clinking our celfon.

Yes, those were the time when we used to wait for video cassette for a new movie and used to get ready to get it even on high rent.

My brother always rented for his kids and sometimes bought CDs too to escape renting.

Earlier on there was no option so we need to do that to watch movies but these days we can easily download movies and watch when we want

The last time I rented a movie or cd was in the early 2000. At the moment there are no stores renting CDs in my area.

It's been decades now and even that was a struggle for some of us as we don't have the CD player and used to watch movies with our friends at their home

I used to buy them before. The only thing I can do is to borrow some from my friends before.

When movies were in CDs, I used to borrow the CD just to watch and return.

More like, we used to borrow from our neighbours. But they used to pay money to rent movie CDs. How Netflix has changed everything.

Renting a CD or DVD was the favorite way to watch movies in the past. I used to do it on a frequent basis. But I stopped renting a long time ago.

I never did that but I remember a videoshop where you do that. We went there copy some documents and books but never rented movie. Somehow I skipped that era.

I have never rented or purchased CDs or USB devices for watching movies, the free movies on TV channels are sufficient.

These days it has become extremely hard to even find a cd. These days people mostly use streaming services.
