Why I like Netflix

Just like DVR (Tivo) changed the way millions watched TV, Netflix will change the way you rent DVDs. Over the years, I'm sure that I have given Blockbuster tons of cash, so much so that I could have bought my Blu-ray player I'm sure. With all of the new features being added (like being able to watch movies from your computer), I will be amazed if ten years from now, any brick and mortar video rental stores will be around.

Well, since I signed up with Netflix, I don't give to the late fee charity anymore. I signed up for the two week trial where I can have 3 DVDs out at a time, and never looked back. My wife and I then decided to switch to the two out at a time plan, because we didn't have time to watch that many movies. That also took our monthly rate from $16.99 to $13.99. Even if you are really strapped for time and cash, you can get the one DVD out at a time plan (two a month) for $4.99 a month.

There is no reason not to at least try netflix!

The monthly service charges are great (about the price of a DVD from Walmart), and I don't have to worry about making the six mile roundtrip just to return a movie. (Especially with these gas prices latley!!)

After I place a movie in the mailbox for return, I usually receive the new one within two to three days. Netflix has warehouses all across the US, so delivery time is drastically reduced.

All in all, I tell everyone I know to sign up. I love Netflix, and even when I adjust the budget I make sure that there is room for Netflix. The service is exceptional, and it is a valuable source of entertainment.

Blu-ray 

About Netflixs' Blu-ray selection

Since Blu-ray technology is failry new, The selection that Netflix carries os failty small, but growing every week.

Currently they carry just over 1000 Blu-ray titles. Every new movie that comes out as Blu-ray seems to get added, and all of the retro fit movies, as they get produced.

As for me, I've patiently been waiting for 'The Matrix'.

Customer Service 

My Experiences with Netflix

So far (and it's been about 2 years now) I have only had 2 problems with my Netflix service. Actually, it wasn't even their fault.

There were two instances in which I mailed the movies back, and a few days had gone by with no new DVDs in my mailbox. I went online and filled out the form, and received the DVD's the very next day in both cases. The culprit happened to be the the United States Postal Service . .
