    I liked Netflix when we used them, but when Blockbuster started to do the same thing and now I can trade 5 of my mailed movies a month in the store and get a new one right away, I prefer them.

    Also, they check in my movie at the store and my next in line in my queue ships in usually 24-48 hours.

    We do the BlockBuster rentals through the mail, which I think works the same and we love it too. We have 3 movies out at a time and if we watch 5 movies or more a month our monthly bill is the same price as renting 5 movies a month through a store rental or going out to a movie 1x a month at a theater.

    It really saves us money. We tend to watch at least 3 movies a week in the evening, instead of regular tv. The selection is huge too .

    We do Netflix 3 at a time and love it. They are working on getting it switched (somehow) to you having a box and being able to download movies on demand. I already watch some online. So I am with everyone else I feel the $16 is worth it.

    We love Netflix too. We've had it off & on for a few years (discontinued our subscription when dh lost his job(s)).We have the 1 disk at a time for $8.99/month. We usually watch, on average 3-4 movies per month.

    In the summer time, I switch to the 2 or 3 dvds at a time for $15.99

    I LOVE being able to get my television shows by the season from Netflix. The only draw back I see is if it's say a 6 dvd series, the last disc may just be "special features" that you may not want to see. I usually look the set up at Amazon first to see if I want to waste my time on the last dvd.
    But in all - I love Netflix. I've had the 1, 2 and 3 dvd at a time plans.

    Usually in the comments section of whatever discs youre browsing, some will say if the last one is a bonus disc or not. It saved me from getting Lost bonus discs.

    We have had netflix for about 5 years, and we LOVE it! We got hooked on the series 24 recently, and it was great to get all of the back shows on DVD. Plus it saves me a ton on kids videos. We have the 3 at a time plan. Just about every
    3rd DVD is a kids video. We keep it for 4-7 days and return it. By then the kids have had their fill of the movie, and I didn't have to pay for it. If they want to see it again a few months later, I just put it back in my que.
    Current books I'm reading:
    The Red Queen

    Number of books read in 2012: 13
    Number of books read in 2011: 30
    Number of books read in 2010: 28
    Number of books read in 2009: 23
    Number of books read in 2008: 28
    Number of books read in 2007: 29

    We had Netflix for awhile, but now we just use Redbox. If you register your email address at redbox.com, they send you codes for free rentals all the time. Between that and the library, we haven't paid for a movie in ages.
