Anyone ever use this? Did you like it? I loved the service after they got the "Alaska mail thing" figured out.....in fact it was hard to watch all the movies I was getting they were coming so fast.

yes, I've tried out both Netflix and Blockbuster. I liked Netflix better because it was only a day mail time, much faster. You can download movies on your pc now, too.

Netflix is an amazingly good deal. I've been a member about 5 years now.

Blockbuster is terrible for reason GBrulz mentioned. Blockbuster might work well for somebody who doesn't like to watch many movies, 1 per week or so. They do give a little bonus of free coupons from the stores. Frankly I just found that "bonus" to be irritating, their stores have such pathetically small inventories.

I am watching a netflix movie right now :) It is a great service and for a guy like me who can never return a movie on time its great. They have every movie I have ever wanted to know. I would recomend it.

Netflix is going the way of Blueray for those with the capability.

I have never used Netflix. I've used Blockbuster DVD by mail for 3 years now and like it a lot. We do the 3 at a time, and what I like is if we watch all 3 in one night (did that a couple times watching 24) I can go down the street to Blockbuster and grab the next 3. The Blockbuster by me is only 3 or 4 minutes away, so maybe Netflix would be better if you do not live really close to one. I like the convenience of getting them in the mail and at the store.

Someone at work today suggested Netflix when I was complaining about late fees.... :oops: .....but it happens. Sometimes I feel it would be cheaper to buy the DVD then to rent it and pay a late fee. Netflix seems like a solution so I'm happy to hear all the positive comments about it. I see they offer a free two week trial.

LOVE Netflix. There is a distro hub in MPLS so my movies take one day to get here, and one day to get back.

Netflix is nice. I do their 2 movie a month thing. I got it as a Christmas gift for a few months and just kept using it.

That's the same reason we have Blockbuster. The shipping time is about a day longer both ways compared to Netflix (which we had used for a long time.) Both have very good selections but Blockbuster's option of returning movies to the store is definitely the extra feature that puts it over the top. But if you don't have a Blockbuster near you, Netflix would be the way to go.

You can download movies on your pc now, too.Actually I believe that you can watch movies by streaming them on your computer, not download them. :?:

Stream means you can watch it. Period

I'm confident she fully understands that :)

Actually, if you boys had a clue, you'd know that someone hacked, er, I mean designed a program that strips the Microsoft DRM technology from this and allows one to download, keep, share, blah blah blah, the movies the get online from Netflix.

8-) :twisted: :lol:

So, once again I say DOWNLOAD - but some say stream. How about we just say WATCH movies online from Netflix? :wink:

Sounds like somebody is owed an apology.

Apologize, Numb.

I'll apologize for Harlan's consistently absurd behavior - because God knows he never will.

Hmm...lets see:

Looks to me that you need to get the sand out of your vagina and apologize to her for that disrespectful shot at her for being "just a girl"

As for you apologizing to me....save it. Trust me, my life will go on just fine without your approval of how I post what I post. :)
