EyeforAnEYE Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 My friend uses netflix, and has nothing but great things to say about it. You can have the movies as long as you like, have jsut about every movie you would want, and they send you an envelope to send the dvd back and the postage is alreayd paid. I'm thinking about signing up for it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Æ° Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I used netflix for a few months, it's really nice. They have really obscure movies that you couldn't find at regular rental places let alone have even heard about. And for me it only took 1 day to get the old movies back to them and 2 days to get the new movies. I never had any problems, and if you have the means, it's a good deal considering you could clone every DVD they send you. It's like 3 movies out at a time for $19.99 a month or 5 movies out at a time for $24.99 a month. Postage is paid too so all you have to do is throw them in the mail. I canceled my account just because I'm trying to save money, but I regret not jacking some of the DVDs and just saying I never received them. I'm curious as to what their policy is on that.

Mr Rad Pants Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 ^what he said pretty much sums it up. it's a real good deal if you usually rent quite a bit of movies. and i think you're allowed to "lose" one or two dvd's before they cancel your account, but i'm not sure.

Guest WebsterUno Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 *believe* Originally posted by Æ° They have really obscure movies that you couldn't find at regular rental places let alone have even heard about. about 5 years ago my cuzz worked there. he said that the whole set up is a cool deal. if youre a movie freak, or rent movies frequently, its cool...saves time/money. my cuzz would watch the flicks while shipping them out, or on his lunch. he said they had alot of DVDs.

gfreshsushi Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 my ex girl had netflix and i abused her account frequently. her list of what she wanted to rent was 80% my shit. we would watch movies all the time, so it made sense. it's a great deal if you're kind of a movie nerd.

Devilush Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 i've had nextflix for more than half the year now and i love it. we rent movies that we'd never think about in the video store. and its always nice to come home to a new movie. its only 20 bucks a month and its sooooo worth it if you're a movie buff.

Guest diggity Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 one thing that would be really ill, and maybe they have it, but something thats like what is on amazon where you get a book and it shows you other books that you might like. i think i'm gonna have to sign up as soon as i get moved into my new crib.

Devilush Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 i think they do! based upon what you rent, once you rent on movie for instance. you rent it and on the bottom they will have three movies that you'll like as well. also if you keep rating other movies (you can do that), based on what you rate, they'll keep recommending movies to you.

Æ° Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 They also have a huge selection of foreign films, documentaries, and television programs. Edit: They do have that recommendation system, you guys are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diggity Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 that doesnt seem like a huge problem since any movie i'm dying to see, i see it when it hits the cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilush Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 its all about the old movies to me. thats the main reason why i signed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamblersGrin Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 netflix is amazing. like they say, no late fees. heres a lil trick about netflix, you can actually order movies and receive them before their real release date. just do a search on the movie you are looking for and put it in your que (however it is spelt). for example, "kill bill" comes out this tuesday but you can order it today and have it by tuesday.

Nekro Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 You've signed up for netflix, all you need now is a copy of DVD X Copy to rip them all onto your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadawhat Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 FYI if three movies at once seems like too many for you, they used to offer a 'two movies at a time' price. but it wasn't advertised and they might not offer it until you say you are going to cancel. it was 6 or 7 dollars cheaper and since you get them so fast, it was well worth it. this was about a year ago... so not sure about it anymore. and i think i remember losing a movie once or not recieveing it and they didn;t charge me or anything.
