So, i got a 3 month subscription to netflix for christmas, and I started it shortly after that, i believe in late January.

about a month ago, or maybe longer, i figured it was over, so i kept the last three movies they had sent me. about 3 or 4 days ago, I sent them back, because i'm not a theif and lo and behold, today I got three new movies. I don't know why they sent these to me, since it was supposed to be for three months only, but who cares, i'm gonna watch 'em and send 'em back asap and try to get more movies.

Overall, i'd pay the 10 bucks a month to keep the service. It's fast and convenient and if you keep up with it, much cheaper than renting from anywhere.

CN: got some movies I thought weren't coming through netflix.

You have to cancel your subscription via there website or they will start charging your credit card. I got a freebie a while ago and I had to put a credit card number it to start my "free" subscription.

later,

i use it

have the two a month unlimited. Get two movies a week. Do not be a whore if you get the service, because then you'll get on the shit list. My sister is on the list.

what happens if that you get to wait 2-3 days for a movie to be shipped vs getting them shipped that day.

and if you are on the shitlist, it takes about a week to get new releases.

I love netflix. We have the 3 at a time unlimited plan and somtimes return them the next day so we've gotten 5 movies or so a week for the price. It's a quick turn around with new locations in MN to speed up the process.

From that link:

"Current Netflix customers with the $17.99 monthly plan will have the option to check out four DVDS at no additional charge, a $6 savings. About 3.7 million former subscribers will be offered a free month of the $17.99 rental plan."

So I wonder if we'll get that option or not....

I have had it for a long time and have no complaints other than I don't watch a ton of movies, but when I want to they are there. I never had a chance of being on the shit list because I rarely send them back within a weeks time.
