I know some of you guys subscribe to Netflix service. I just whent to that sight and it says that Plans start at $9.99. I didnt know there were differant plans, what are the differances? I just assumed you paid x number of dollars a month and got 3 movies and then you would get more as you returned those based on what was in your que at the time. No late fees right? Is shipping to and from included?

No Late fees and shipping is included. The prices vary based on how many movies you want at a time. The $9.99 plans are usually 1 at a time and they go up from there. In any plan you get unlimited rentals during that month.
Just update your queue with the titles you want and it will take care of itself. You adjust your queue with the priority you place on the movie.
Put it in the mailbox when you are done.
Pretty simple stuff. -
netflix is probably one of the best things to happen since the advent of the video rental store.
I'm on the 3-at-a-time plan and it's a good, even-keeled plan. You can get your movies, watch one, send it out and get a new one back before you run out of movies. It's great. If you're good on keeping a schedule with mailing them back out you have an almost seemingly endless supply of movies.

Weeeeellll I signed up for a test drive. I have been hesitant for some reason but with my DVD purchases waining and my lack of desire to go to a blockbuuster for anything just shy of CPR, I had to do something. Here's hoping it's the next best thing to owning a DVR. :T
I just noticed that I am clipping along at an average of just over 100 posts a year....what can I say I am enfuego :BComment

Another nice thing is the selection. Lots of movies to choose from that you might not have seen. It helps expand your thoughts some. Variety is the spice of life.
Blockbuster offers a similar deal but you can rent in store. Their selection isn't as good IMHO.Comment

I'm also on the 3-at-a-time plan. I really enjoy it, they have a lot of stuff I wouldn't normally find like IMAX films and MotoGP season reviews :TDanishComment

I joined in 1999 and have been on the 3 at a time plan for most of that time; when I joined it worked a bit differently. At that time Blockbuster didn't carry a single DVD so Netflix was a godsend.
Their selection and customer service are top notch and I really like to be able to keep a movie as long as I like. Sometimes you just aren't in the mood to watch a certain type of movie.
I've just about quit buying DVDs so Netflix is my movie source.Comment

I've been with Blockbuster for a couple of months now and been fairly happy. I like the idea of getting two coupons to use in the local store each month as well.
My sister was with Netflix for years and switched to Blockbuster... claiming she liked Blockbuster better for their selection. I may try and flip flop and check out Netflix.
Either way... we were renting 3-4 movies per week at Movie Gallery and spending quite a bit. The mail rental saves!Comment

I checked, and didn't really see any other threads that had a good discussion of these services, so I thought I'd start one for everybody to chime in.
For a while, now, I have NOT signed up with DVD rental companies, primarily for the reason that as I travel a lot with my job, I didn't... -
In the past 1 1/2 weeks, I've only received Serenity in HD DVD from Netflix. My queue format is set to default to HD DVD. According to my queue, Doom was shipped yesterday and Million Dollar Baby, Apollo 13, and The Last Samurai was shipped today (I'm on the 5 out plan). What HD DVDs have you received,... -
I signed up for Netflix about 9 months ago, and have steadily been putting in all my ratings for movies that I've seen. When you do all the numbers, it's pretty amazing.
- So far, I've rated 1,639 movies. As I come across or think of movies I've seen, I go to Netflix and rate them.... -
I just got this today from Netflix, my movie rental place. I will be telling them where to shove it just as soon as they carry out this policy. What about the rest of you guys, you gonna just let it slide or look for a format nuetral place to rent?...I'm dumping Netflix,I hate having BD shoved down my throat10.00%1I don't like it but i'm am ready for one format to win, i'm staying with Netflix60.00%6I've always been a Sony fan-boy, GO BLUE RAY30.00%3 -
I thought this might be an interesting thread. A lot of us are continually cycling flicks through our players, rented from Netflix, Blockbuster, or others. And yet somehow, I still can't seem to get my Netflix queue below the 500 max limit! Every time I watch a chunk of movies and drop my queue numbers,...
