Netflix Recommendation

[AMC]

I'm thinking about signing up for Netflix. I have a two-week free trial so I thought I would give it a try. Does anyone recommend this or have any reason to avoid using Netflix, such as bad experiences with them?

Thanks.

I have heard nothing bad, but also have a good friend who used Blockbuster and said it was great. Any problems she ever had were fixed immediately.

I hear it's great and affordable. I too have heard nothing negative.

[AMC]

Thanks. It just seems to be cheaper than my local Blockbuster, assuming I actually watch more than three movies a month.

I have been a Netflix member for about 5 months now, and I love it. The shipping process is very efficient. They even send you emails letting you know that they've received the latest DVD you returned, and that they've shipped the next one in your queue. I'm very happy with them.

Netflix is amazing. I have a local distribution facility, so anything I send back is only a 2-day turnaround. Searching is easy, they have a bunch of great features on the site, a manageable queue and easy mailing. This time of year, we're watching about 10 movies a month at a total cost of $19.25 including tax.

I've had Netflix for over a year and I love it. The key is turnover though. Sometimes (especially when I rent TV shows) I end up having them for weeks which isn't efficient, but usually I can get, watch and return a movie in a day or two. It's definately cheaper then going to Blockbuster once a week. It's great if you have a DVD burner too.

Netflix is awesome. I received an e-mail from them yesterday saying that they are lower the price I pay by a $1.00 a month.....not sure why but hey I'll take it. Their service is great.

Hmmm...that's what I have. Hopefully I'll have an email waiting for me at home. I remember getting something about a class-action lawsuit a few months ago that was supposed to adjust our rate.

Netflix is the best thing since sliced bread.

I've used Netflix and I'm currently using a free month of Blockbuster. Shipping-wise they are both equally as efficient. I usually have a 2-day turn around because I'm about 40 miles from where both companies have distribution centers.

Netflix usually has more availability but the 2 free rentals per month from a blockbuster store offset that for me.

I have Netflix... sometimes I get DVDs very quickly, other times slower. Don't know why. There is a facility about 25 minutes from me. Hmmm...

One time, a CD came cracked in half... Was kind of pissed about that. I sent it back and they sent me another one. No biggie.

[AMC]

Thanks everyone. It sounds like a good deal.

.

Sometimes the Netflix facility closest to you wont have the DVD, so they have to send a request to another facility. It happens with harder to find DVD's or extremely popular ones

I have nothinng bad to say about Netflix at all. They have DVD's that my local blockbuster doesn't, and its cheaper

A great Netflix ability is to put new movies not yet out on DVD in your queue, even if they're just hitting the theaters. They then keep track of them for you and enter them in the queue when the DVDs are released. The new King Kong is in my queue.

[RhodyYanksFan]

The only complaint I can think of is now they are getting so popular that most new releases are on long wait when they come out. When I first got it, you could get anything, any time. Now I'm on a "very long wait" for the 40 Year Old Virgin" even though it was #1 in my queue when it came out.

has anyone tried to burn a DVD from Netflix...I tried last night but said it was copywrite and couldn't burn. I'm able to burn studio CD's though without a problem. Anyone have any ideas??

It'd be hard to burn a Netflix DVD on to a CD

DVD's have a code built in, most studi CD's don't

You should ask FormerlyKnownAsMHHL. I'm sure he would be glad to lend a helping hand.

LOL I made the correction and thanks for the other suggestions.

Google DVD43 and I'll leave it at that.
