Topic: Netflix Posted: March 26 2007 at 01:53 |
Do you use netflix or a competitor of it? Do you like it?
I just got it last month its $10 a month for unlimited movies 1 at a time, problem is with shipping that means unlimited is actually 4 movies per month. Its still cheaper than the video rental stores with a bigger selection but I wonder if its really worth it. Another positive is they have prog DVDs which I added to my Queue which is now 112 movies.

I use the same kind of service,but with Blockbuster.We get movies and games delivered to our door,up to 3 at a time,unlimited for $9 a month.We usually receive the dvd/game 1 day after ordering online.If we return them at the store instead of mailing them back in,we get a free rental for every one.I love it,and have never had any trouble with the service.

I watch a sh*t load of movies. So yeah I use it. Whil they are assholes and secretly restrict the number of movies I could watch, they offer the best selection.
I used to have the blockbuster movie pass, but the selection got smaller as I watched more movies.
I also rent from the local library if I have no netflix. They have a good selection. Kurosawa, Jean Luc-Goddard, Fellini, etc.

We use it, and we're happy with it. My parents use Blockbuster. Can't go wrong either way, probably, depends on wait times w/ each service where you live.

We've tried using Nexflix. We took out one movie and lost the return envelope. A Fish Called Wanda is still on my mom's dresser.

Nobody in my family is really big on movies, so we find no need for anything of the sort. We usually just hit the bargain bins at Walmart or something.

I used to have it, but it was a gift certificate, so it expired, but it was pretty nice while we had it.

I don't have it, but it doesn't sound thoroughly worth it
