I got a flyer for NetFlix, $17.99 per month for unlimited DVD rentals. Anyone have it and use it? Any good?
Thanks

    I've used them for a long time.........fantastic service! I get a movie every 2-3 days. They just dropped their rates, too! I love the service.

    Now, if I could get someone to go to my mailbox by the street and bring me the dvds, I'd never have to leave the house! [8D]

    Netflix is great...moo choes better than Blockbuster.No late fees,no rush hour traffic,ect...
    One thing I really liked about it is that you can read customer reviews of the movies before you rent them....and you can write reviews yourself!!...if you want....which I generally didn't do unless I came across a paticularly GOOD or BAD movie.
    The selection they have is multitudes bigger than Blockbuster or any other rental place.
    I thought about buying stock in Netflix but it is a temporary thing I suspect because all your digital cable and sat tv outfits offer ppv......and tell me....what's easier than PPV???....not watchng movies!

    I use to have it. I really liked it. One DVD did ge lost in the mail, and they just told me 'no problem, we'll just mark it as lost' I was not charged for it. I don't have the spare time anymore, so I cancelled it, but it was a good deal.

    I love it. Been getting them for about a year and a half now. I like that you can add movies to you "Queue" anytime. I have a bout a 2 day turn around. We normally watch 3 movies over the weekend and then send them in on Monday and have the new movies by Wed - Thurs at the latest.
