Doin' the Netflix thing

I got inspired by Matt's post about Netflix and I signed up on Sunday. 3 DVDs arrived in the mail today. Nice! That was quick. The question is - will they have the same new releases that Blockbuster does?

Netflix is great, you'll love it I think. We've been on it for a couple years now, and I can proudly say that I haven't been to Blockbuster since shortly after we started. Boycotting Blockbuster is a good thing, and they do get all the new movies just as fast, oh, and it's been a rare case when a movie I have in my queue gets skipped due to lack of available DVD's in their supply (i.e. too many other people have it out) -- unlike Blockbuster. Plus, no late fees is key, and you will always have 3 movies in your posession that you can select from any given night. It's the ticket.

NetFlix is nice, but my experience was that they *didn't* get new movies quite so early as Blockbuster. Perhaps they've improved it since February - I dropped the service just because we weren't watching movies enough to justify the monthly charge (depending on what Blockbuster charges these days, you'd have to watch about 7 movies a month to justify the 3-movie membership level).

Since you are doing the Netflix thing you might be interested in this OS X software: NetFlix Fanatic.
