Jestah Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: Long Island, NY Insane since: Jun 2000	posted 09-29-2004 01:31 I was just curious if anyone here uses Netflix or a similar service. A few buddies & myself signed up for their trial membership today. The first of our movies should be shipped out soon. I doubt I'll be continuing with it. I don't rent a whole lot of movies anymore & Blockbuster has a similar deal except I don't have to wait around for my movies to be delievered. So if any of you guys have used this or similar services, what do you think?
Wes Paranoid (IV) Mad Scientist From: Inside THE BOX Insane since: May 2000	posted 09-29-2004 02:39 Absolutely love it. I love the fact I can log on and add something to my queue anytime I think of it. And I rarely find myself waiting for something since I can have 3 out at any one time and it usually only takes about 3 days to get one after I drop one in the mail. Plus, it actually encourages me to watch more movies -- which I want -- since it's effectively cheaper the more I watch in a month. In fact, I'll be watching Eternal Sunspot of the Shoeshine Mind or whatever it's called as I eat my lasagna this evening.

Jestah Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: Long Island, NY Insane since: Jun 2000	posted 09-29-2004 19:28 I started my two week free trial last night. Hopefully I'll enjoy it as much as you guys. I'm glad to hear its a good service. The only thing I like about Blockbuster is I have a few friends that work there who erase my fees from time to time. I guess with Netflix I won't have to worry about that though.
