Just joined Netflix

[hayley]

I had Netflix for a looong time and never had the problems Diss is talking about, although I know others who have. I have nothing but good things to say about them. I also lived close enough to a distribution center that I'd get my DVDs immediately- I'd send in a movie on a Monday morning and have my new one on Wednesday morning.

The best thing about Netflix, for me, was being able to rent TV shows on DVD. Blockbuster and the other chains have terrible selections- they basically carry Sex and the City and 24, and that's like it. I was able to see so much without having to buy them.

Oh man, I am loaded with X-Files information for no apparent reason other than I was obsessed. If you have questions while your watching, feel free to direct them to Janet and I

Nip/Tuck....I cannot wait for the next season.

Oy, tell me about it. I was a wreck when I read that it might not continue, but thank the stars it is. But is it too much to ask that they bring back Sophia Lopez?

So what does everyone think now?

Alex - do you like Netflix?
Diss, are you still happy with Blockbuster?
Anyone else?

I'm debating joining one of them, can't decide which.

i had joined netflix and was pleased with thier service initially...then the shipments began to slow! i contacted customer service and they came back with a lame stock response...so i joined blockbuster and have been very pleased...especially with the free monthly in-store rentals!

I've been with Netflix for about a year & so far I'm just thrilled with it. They sent me one DVD once that was cracked, but there's an easy policy you follow & you get your replacement the next day, practically.

About 10 percent of the time, I go up to my queue online wanting to add a particular movie, but Netflix doesn't carry it. But I'm sure that's true of the other online rental companies, too.

I'm still pleased. I only use it for movies that are hard to find and they usually have them, so that's why I've stuck with them.

(Though it took a full two months for me to get Black Christmas.)

Is there another company with the same name I haven't heard of? Because everything I want to see isn't there. I'd love to watch that Canadian movie Will recommended and I've been after Solomon Northup's Odyssey for awhile now, but Blockbuster never has anything except the most popular mainstream movies. Are you saying there's an online Blockbuster service that has a better selection than the ****ty stores?

I don't want to try Netflix because I understand it's $9.95 at the least and I don't watch movies every month so it would be a complete waste to pay for a movie service every month when I might use it every two months or so. I mean, I don't even have a DVD player of my own, so...

I'm in the same boat! Out here in the burbies in-store video selection SUCKS!

Keep the reviews coming, guys!

I'm still using Blockbuster online and I'm still happy! It's been several months now and I haven't had any problems. Today, I got The Muppets Take Manhattan, Hedwig and the Angry Inch and The Empire Strikes Back... if anyone cares.

We don't care, but thanks for sharing.

I'm kidding!
