Anyone here use Netflix?



Experiences?



$20/month is a little steep, considering the local Hollywood charges $1 for a 5 day rental, but Netflix has some rare DVD's that I've been looking for, so it may be a good deal.

I guess I should be more specific. The Hollywood in Ames (my town) charges $3.99 for 5 days, but the one in Marshalltown (gf's town) charges a buck.

That's what I was thinking!



As long as their service is good, which you say it is, I'm going to go for it.

$1, holy **** who can beat that?



I had it for a while, as long as you keep renting to take advantange

of the fee, its worth it. They come with a handy dandy return envelope

and everything. You can make a big list of what you want and as you

return and go thru them they ship automatically.

ED,

I have some netflix dvd's right here. I get them in 1-2 days after I order. Send them back the next day(sometimes the same day).



Doing it that way, you can get about 15-20 a month.





This site is your best "netflix" companion

the RITEK media is high quality, and cheap.





I just started building my "classics" collection. I just got back to the future 1 2 and 3
