So I just got a Netflix subscription about two weeks ago and I have to say it is worth the money. If you dont' know what Netflix is go to Google cause ya live in a cave. :) Anyways I signed up for it on a Monday night and had my first movie with Wednesday's mail. I live on an island in Washington state where overnight mail takes 2 overnights to get here so I'm not sure what strings Netflix pulls but it is pretty impressive. The movie selection that Netflix has is endless. I have not been able to find a movie that I would want to watch that they don't have, that is aside from the Girls Gone Wild series; sorry to disappoint you Nvy. Anyways I just thought I would give you my A++++ opinion on Netflix. And yes all the shipping is in pre-paid envelopes even on the way back from your house. I put a guestimate on how many movies a month you can end up getting.

1 Out Plan = 10-11 movies per month. $9.95
2 Out Plan = 20-23 movies per month. $14.95
3 Out Plan = 30-35 movies per month. $17.95

I think those are about the right prices but I'm doin that off the top of my head. They also have some larger commercial use type plans that are pretty good deals. The only thing you have to do is remember to put the damn movie in the post office drop box which is a tough task to remember for most.

So don't all talk about it at once, but has anyone else tried out Netflix? If so what is your opinion on it?

Netflix works for me. I like it. There was a honeymoon period where for the first few weeks you get all the new releases right away. Then suddenly all the cool movies are on wait lists. There are so many movies to be had, that you build up the Que with a large number of movies that you want, that it just does not matter any more :rofl:

yeah, it's worth it just not spending the gas to drive to the video store and back. And not worrying about late fees is nice. (alway wanted to ring my daughter's neck over those late fees - no more :rofl: )
