Does anyone use Netflix? They have different priced movie packages and shipping and handling is done in thier postage paid envelopes. We have the 3 movie at a time plan. Pop up a big bowl of popcorn and enjoy a movie together as a family.

We do Blockbuster online. Its great getting them in the mail and at Blockbuster you can return to the store to trade them in and still get more movies sent to your home at the same time. We don't always do that but for us it is convenient since BB isn't far at all.

We have used Netflix and enjoyed it - especially during the winter months. I have noticed they keep lowering their prices to remain competitivie. Many of our members prefer Blockbuster because they are also eligible to check out movies in-store. I also HIGHLY recommend TiVo because it allows you to watch TV on demand and pick which shows you want it to automatically record.

Here are the links to their latest promotions:
NETFLIX
BLOCKBUSTER
TIVO

I LOVE Blockbuster Online... we've been getting TV shows on DVD from online, and then exchanging them instore for whatever new releases interest us. We get the best of both worlds doing this since in store has a pathetic supply of TV shows, and popular new releases tend to get long or short waited if you try to get them online.

Overall an excellent value. We've made our way through most of what the library has that we find interesting.

We had Netflix, but don't watch enough movies to make it worth it. We also had a BIG problem with the dvds being in bad shape and not being able to watch the entire movie. For us it was much better to just go rent a movie for 99cents at the video store.

We have the lowest price Netflix package available - one movie at a time and a limit on how many movies per month. That is perfect for us. I've been renting a bunch of old classics - stuff I don't want to purchase but I want DD to see. We recently saw the Music Man and Hello Dolly. I've never not been able to get a movie even with the monthly limit. It takes me too long to get around to watching them and to return them for that to be a problem. We only had a problem with a defective movie once. I simply let Netflix know. Their turn around is super fast.

We've been long time Netflix users. We love it. The last 2 years I have put our account on hold for the summer. It is a nice feature. Movies will automatically start coming again on Sept 1st from our movie que. We don't get charged during the hold period.

Dh and I have subscribed to Netflix for a little over a year now. We love it. We used to have the three at a time unlimited plan, but we reduced it to the 2 a month plan that is only about $5.00. Rentals at our nearby store are $3.99 each, so I'm saving a little. I've had two problems with discs being bad. One was broken in half and another was scratched. I reported it and got new discs the next day. I think that 2 out of approx. 60 movies isn't bad considering that the broken disc wasn't Netflix's fault. I eventually want to switch to Blockbuster 1 at a time unlimted plan and exchange them in store because I will probably get more for my money, but I'm a loyal customer and I haven't had a bad experience with Netflix yet.
