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?

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.

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.
