Netflix Subscribers?

[One4yu2c]

After not finding the movie we wanted in stock at two video stores today, as well as neither one carrying a couple of older titles, we came home and signed up for Netflix. Just got through loading up the queue with 60 titles (bunch of them were TV series, which come on multiple DVDs).

Anyone else here subscribe to Netflix or Blockbuster? If so, how do you like it?

Iv been using Blockbuser for a year now and cant be happier.......Iv had 3 movies get lost in the mail now and they didn't give me grief about any of them.........
This is a great service I get the 3 movies in rotation for 17 bucks a month.
So as soon as i watch them.........I send it back the next day and here comes another one . I normally get about 3 to 4 movies a week so about 12 to 15 movies a month plus you get one coupon a week for a in store blockbuster rental. But then you got to drive to the store wast gas and drive it back on time.......with online no gas and no time limit plus watch and mail......If your consistent about it you make a killing verse going and renting. In store renting is like 4 moves for 17 bucks I get as many as I can watch almost. Long story short Great service!

My sister uses Blockbuster. I can't say that they're always that great (they shipped a dozen Survivor DVDs way out of order :roll: ), but they're alright. Don't expect any bonus content or good service for multi-disk movies and TV shows though.

Man....the only way to go is DirectTV and PPV...I've heard really bad things about NetFlix, they start off all great and helpful, but the longer you work with them, the more problems you have getting the movies you want when you want them

I used direct tv and was pretty happy but ppv get expensive as far a movies well I still like Boclkbuster mail..............
And both of you computer geeks spend so much time on the puter you dont have time to watch much tv anyway!

You're right; we're not exactly what you'd call clouch potatos

Yeah, I have a TV but didn't even bother bo buy cable service (even though I hav cable internet). Heck, I don't even have my TV plugged in! It just sits in the corner! The 'pooter is my friend

As for movies, I am either watching them at the theater or just renting them from the store because I don't get enough to necessitate subscribing to some kind of service.

I've been using Netfix for about a year now. If I had to rate it on my happy-metor, I'd give it a 9 out of 10.

Downside:
Sometimes you get DVD's that are in poor condition and skip all over the place
I am on the 2 DVD's at a time - unlimited # per month plan and it seems that no matter what I do, I can't get more than 2 DVDs a week. Once you watch a DVD, it takes a day to return to the warehouse, a day for them to confirm receipt, another day for them to ship, and then a final day for it to be delivered.... and they do not process on the weekends.

Upside:
I never have to go to a movie theater or ghetto ass videe store overrun by the maggots of society ever again. MAJOR++
They have every movie I've ever looked for.
