hey, has anyone tried that netflix thing? They don't charge late fees, which I think is awesome because as it is everytime I rent DVD's I turn them in late and have to pay $20. Plus the stores never have what I want. |

I've thought about joining them myself. It sounds like an excellent idea,and I'm suprised no one thought of that sooner. The only thing is that it seems that you would have to rent a lot of movies to really get your money's worth out of it. Maybe someone can sell me on it also. |

I guess that is what you pay for the convienience of not having to pay late fees, shipping, and keeping them as long as you want. Plus, I have a DVD burner hehehe (insert a devil face here!) , but of course DVD-Rs a pretty expensive hehe [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img] |

I have used Netflix for over a year and a half. I would never go back to the Blockbuster thing. If you watch your movies quick and return them right away, you can get a ton of movies in a month. Even if you only watched 4 movies a month, it comes to about the same as what Blockbuster would charge you, and you don't have to waste your time driving over there to drop the movie off. For me, it is very much a convinience thing. I pick all the movies I want and rank them in my que. They send me 4 at a time, or I can have a total of 4 out at a time. As my wife and I watch them, we send them back and a few days later, the next one in the qeue comes. There is no mailing fee, and they come with the return pouch. I think they also have a 13 dollar option for 3 movies at a time. Damn, they should hire me as a spokesperson! |
