yes, my boyfriend and i use netflix all the time. they are great. they have a lot of titles to choose from. you basically go on their website and queue up the movies you want to rent and they send you about 3 at a time and then you return them via mail through the envelope that they provide. it's so easy! when you send it back, they automatically send you the next movie on your list.

netflix was good to me for about 2 months.

then the delays. the wonderful delays. it would take them 7-8 days to "recieve" the movies i turned in. i dropped them after a few weeks of this crap.

sad. the idea is awesome. but their system needs to be improved. (oh and dont count on getting a new release anytime soon)

Here's my plan. At first I was using the Wal-Mart renting service, it's free for a month. I canceled after a month. Now I'm getting Netflix free for ten days, I'm going to suck the life out of those ten days.... After that I'm going back to Wal-Mart with another credit card and my work address. I'm going to repeat the process a few times with different addresses and different credit cards. Wish me luck..

Netflix is great. I receive my movies a day after I return the previous one, then they get them back usually the day after I mail them back, so for $12/month I can usually see about 10 movies. Kicks the $hite out of that effing Blockbuster crap. Not to mention first-run movies. $10 for a movie ticket? EFF YOU !!!

I thought Netflix was $20 a month not $12 ?!

And also, I hear that they limit you to 10 movies per month. That sux.

Netflix is great. I've had them for 3 months now and no problems. Their largest warehouse is in San Jose, so once I mail off a dvd, I get a new one back in 3-4 days. There is no montly limit on how many dvd's you can get in a month. Get new releases has not been a problem for me. I just add them to my queue 2-3 weeks before they come out and I get them right away. I love not having to deal with returning movies anymore. And since the cost is so low, I've rented movies that I would never have spent the 3-4 dollars to rent otherwise.
