Members zachoff Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 How do you like it? I dropped HBO & Cinemax last night & the wife and I maybe watch a movie a week & we also like the occasional porn to help things out. Seems Netflix would be about right for us but I'm wondering if any of you have had any problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ARES Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 i love it, i'm on their 3-at-a-time plan and probably watch 5 movies a week. way better than renting, and of course anything is better than cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greenshag Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 used them for 7 months now, did the same as you, I do the 4 a month thing, and they are great! most times, you get a movie the next day after shipping via USPS, and it usually takes two days after you send a movie back to receive your next ones...they also have a HUGE selection of movies...

Members Emprov Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 We've had them for about two years and it's been pretty cool. We do 3 at a time and it's worked out pretty well. We never watched 24 until this last year thanks to Tivo and now we're catching up on the previous three years, totally cool! Check out Blockbusters service though, I think that it may be the same thing for a few bucks less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blockbuster doesn't have the adult flics though. Plust my wife doesn't like Wayne Huyzenga (sp?) & he owns Blockbuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members degroove Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 I just started Netflix. I have to say their selection is unreal. Do a search for "bass" or "guitar" and you will find tons of instructional videos you can rent. I am waiting for a acoustic guitar instruction video to arrive. The cool thing is, depending on your plan, you can keep it indefinately, whereas with the libary or local stores, you get a limited time to work on it. I am very impressed with it. If you like music DVDs, do a search for some of your favorite bands, and you might be suprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pbass_groovin Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 We've been doing Netflix for 6 months. No major problems so far. Huge selection but some movies have been stratched. I've had to clean a few first before we could watch them. It's fun getting movies in the mail.

Members Tag Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Netflix is great! I used to do the Blockbuster 2 at a time at the local store thing, but then I watched everything they had, and they didn't have a LOT of stuff that I DID want to watch, so I switched over. I've pretty much only watched good movies from that point on. They have almost everything. I started at the 3-at-a-time but switched to 4 after a while. I like to always have something to watch if I'm in the mood. The quality of the discs have been superb so far. They are always almost brand new looking! There have been a couple that were cracked, you can tell the USPS did it, and all you do is report it in your account, and they send the same movie to you asap. But I never thought to search for band DVD's! DOH! *netflix here I come!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been my experience. They sent me the wrong one and shipped the right one immediately. I have about a 2 day turnaround with Blockbuster. I ttied Netflix first, but they wouldn't accept my card, so Blockbuster got the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mlwarriner Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 we're on the one a week plan, and it fits us very well. and compared to the local video stores, it's cheaper if we only manage to get through 3 movies in a month... my only gripe is that they have no porn at netflix...at least that i've found. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
