I've been using Netflix for home delivery of DVD rentals for several years now. I love the convenience and no-hassle service. Any other NF devotees out there??

I did when they first started, but I like instant gratification too much. Plus I don't rent movies all that often.

In my area, they have a distribution center pretty close so if I put something in my list then I get it the very next day. I do the 4 plan so I am constantly getting movies in the mail.

ME! Love them... with my insane schedule it's nice to know I won't be charged a late fee if I don't watch it right away. Or if I fall asleep in the middle and need to rewatch it.

I've been using Netflix for over 2 years. I thought I would run out of movies for my list, but it just keeps growing and growing, lol. I was one who used to rack up late charges at the video store......procrastinator extrordinaire, so Netflix is great for me!

HMMMMM. Maybe I should give this a try. I have seen the commercials, but never even really considered it.

Used to use Netflix and then later Blockbuster. My boys got me to sign up for Game Fly which is basically the same thing but instead of movies it is games for Playstation, etc. They love it and it saves money on buying games because as soon as they beat a game they don't want to play it anymore.

I felt too much pressure to watch a lot, so it would be cost-effective. Sometimes I rent a ton of movies, but sometimes months go by and I don't rent a thing. Plus Blockbuster's within walking distance (and now that they have longer rental periods, I'm never late anymore).

But I mean INSTANT gratification. As in "I want to see this movie NOW." Not tomorrow. :lol:

Something I have considered for a long time but with Movies on Demand with cable and the need my son has to rent video games it has been easier to go to Blockbuster. If they ever combined the games and movies for rental online then I would be right there.

We used to do NF too, but I'm with Robin on this one...months go by sometimes before I get an urge to rent a movie and sit long enough to watch it, so it just wasn't cost effective for us. But it's a great program and they have excellent service!

Netflix DEFINITELY rocks. I love getting a series' entire season at one time. :shock:

There is a distribution center in my city so if I mail one back Wednesday, they'll get it Thursday, send a new one out that same day, and I get it in the mail on Friday. :)

I buy a TON of movies, so I don't need Netflix for that, but I subscribed to Netflix for a while to watch a lot of television shows. It was nice to be able to either catch up with a current show, or watch a complete run of another. I rarely will watch a tv show more than once, so I never see the point in buying sets.
