Netflix?

[K9soul]

I have Netflix and it works very well for me. I have never had a problem. I don't watch movies except for perhaps one on the weekend so I just have a 1-at-a-time plan. When I'm done I mail it in and the next day the receive it and mail the next out, which I receive the day after that. Considering it would be at least a 40-minute round trip to drive somewhere to rent one and then another to return it, it works out well for me. I've seen more movies since I joined than I have in a couple years. They have various plans available to meet the demands of people's movie-watching habits. I personally think if you're the type who needs a movie every night, the $10 plan is not the right plan for you. And really I wouldn't think a person could expect 30 or so movies a month and expect to only pay $10. Just my opinion.

I signed up with Blockbuster instead. I get 1 movie at a time. Up to 2 a month. We live in Alaska, so we never get it overnight. BUT, instead of mailing it back, you can drop it off at a Blockbuster store and get 1 FREE movie.

So, for $10, we get 2 movies mailed to us, and 2 free ones from the store.

It took me a while to figure out that even though I get 1 movie at a time -- I only get 2 a month. So, if you've received 2 already that month, you'll wait a week or 2 before they mail the next one out to you.

If you have Blockbuster in your area, it might be worth switching.

I, also, had a trial with Blockbuster. Like the service a lot. I've considered switching and may just do that. All in all, Netflix isn't a bad service. I just wished it was a tad more frequent.

I don't expect a movie every day of the week. Being an unemployed, but actively seeking work, college student, I do like to watch movies in my down time. Money is, also, a precious commodity. I just don't feel that it's a great convenience if I pay more to go through them and get three movies over the course of one month. I could just walk over to Blockbuster and get a better deal.

Thanks everyone for your input. I appreciate it.

I agree, Netflix isn't that bad of a service. I just wish it was a little more frequent, you know? I don't usually have money to splurge and Netflix is definitely mine. I just hoped to get a little more "bang for my buck" as it were.

Wenis, I hope it didn't seem like I was speaking to you specifically (realize it might have seemed that way), I was just speaking in general. Sounds like Blockbuster might be more convenient for you since you live close to one.

Why not check movies out from the local library? They're free, and usually have a time limit of a whole two weeks before it has to be returned. Our library usually limits movies checked out to 4 at a time, I'm sure each library varies.
