So recently the lady and I took the leap, closed the account with the local video store and made the switch to Netflix. The service is pretty much impeccable as far as availability, service fee's and shipping goes. However, the main enticement for me was the stream it now feature, but I have found that by my liberal estimation less than 25% of their catalog is available in this format. That said, it frustrates me when nothing I really want to watch at the moment is capable of streaming. Fire away.
