Is Netflix the Best Streaming Option for You?

[Countrykitchenmichelle]

Does anybody use Netflix and how do you like it? Which plan do you use and about how many videos do you end up getting a month?

I don't have Netflix but I have Blockbuster.com and love it! We get unlimited rentals, 3 at a time for $18 a month. They just changed it so you can bring them to the store and get new movies too. I haven't done it yet but it is a nice perk.

Over the holidays we slacked and kept 3 movies for a month, but I usually see 15 movies a month when I stay on top of mailing them back!

I have Netflix and LOVE IT!! We just downgraded our subscription to 1 video unlimited per month for $5.99. We sometimes can't get to 3 movies in a month...what with 4 kids, my husband travelling, and an exploding business.

It is nice to have a new movie or one of your old favorites on hand whenever you have the time to watch. I would say go for it. I LOATHE Blockbuster because of the dreaded Late Fees! We had a falling out and I will never give them my business again. I don't even accept gift cards from them.

I have Netflix. We have the 3 unlimited movies. I love it! I get my movies turn around and get more movies the two days after I had sent them. Not too shabby. If anyone wants to add me as thier friend. Here is my link.

You sound like me and my walmart aversion!

OH MY GOSH!!! US TOO!!!! We had the most horrible experience with them and their late fees (that were plastered all over tv as being non-existent, but then they charged us anyway in the store..."oh sorry, this store doesn't participate in that...?)

I'll have to check out the cheap Netflix deal...didn't know they had one that was so inexpensive!

I use Blockbuster.com and return my movies to the store for free movies

I use Blockbuster.com and love it! I do 2 movies at a time unlimited. Between the ones I rent (It's a great way to catch up on tv series) and then getting to exchange them in the store for another movie I would have easily spent double what I pay for the service!

We have been a long time user of Netflix and love it. We went from the 3 at a time down to unlimited one at a time because the turn around time is SO fast and 3 was just way too many and that was before I found CS. That would so cut into my posting/reading time LOL Valky

 

[gilliandanielle]

Hee hee Valky! I don't know how I have time for both either!

 

[cookinmama]

I love Netflix. I have the 2 at a time unlimited for $14.99 a month. That way I can have a movie and my little girl can have a month at the same time. She is only 3 and loves to get movies in the mail.

I have also bought movies from them too. Just bought Cars for $9.99 (better than $20 at the store) and She's the Man for $5.99. Both are in great conditon and I got a great price. They garantee them to pay and come in the original case.

Thanks for all the feedback. I finally signed up.

I read in another forum that they had intermittent problems with losing videos (both ways). But I'm taking a chance and hoping for the best.

We've "misplaced" a few videos over the passed few years, but it is not a big deal. They are easy to work with.

Okay if anyone wants to be my buddy on there use my "friend" code. You can see what I have at home and what I have rated and review about movies I have watched.

We've been members since 1999, and I can't recommend them highly enough. I think they're the best thing on the internet!Fantastic customer service, super-quick delivery, incredible selection of movies.

Wow, I didn't know they'd even been around that long! lol

We signed up, and did the free trial month, but because of a tight budget, we've put our account on hold. I am thinking about doing the $9.99 plan, but I think I need to have consistent PC business to justify the extra expense. My dad convinced me to sign up, and I was impressed with his service.

As for the Blockbuster.com thing - beware! When you exchange them in the store, the STORE POLICY applies. Check it out in tiny print on blockbuster.com. Also, I agree....blockbuster doesn't usually have what we want to watch, and finding the old favorite classics? That is harder and harder to find with them these days. When we can afford the Netflix (even the $10 a month) we'll definitely stick with them.

I was happy that I could put our account on 'hold' and not lose anything!! Nice feature!

You'll be happy with it I'm sure.
