Someone school me on this thing. I know that it's basically get dvd's in through mail and return whenever you want, but what's the catch with the different monthly rates? fsho...

tryin going to www.netflix.com. its basically a monthly fee to rent unlimited dvds thru the mail. if you get the cheapest one you can only do 1 movie at a time for only so many times. if you get the $20 one you can have up to 3 movies out at a time and you can send them in for new ones an unlimited time during the monthly period. so of the new releases you might not be able to get for a copule of days becuase the 6 million + members also want the new releases. but i had it and enjoyed it. takes one day to send to you and one day to reach from your house back to netflix.

I used Netflix for the 2 wk trial but besides that I signed up for the Blockbuster Total Access plan this month, its basically the same thing except they give you a coupon for a free rental from their stores each month...also you have the option of going to a Blockbuster and exchanging your movies then and there if you dont want to have to wait. I been ordering Blu Rays so i cant really judge if they are quick (limited stock) but i think im probably gonna stick with it....in the end its a better deal cause its the same price as Netflix but you get that free coupon each month

I have had netflix for 3 years now and it rocks!

I am on the $18.99 a month, you get 3 movies at a time, once done send it in and they send you more. You could keep 1 of the first 3 for 8 months if you want, and only be sending the other 2 back. But either way no late fees I never have to wait for movies. I sent some back yesterday and already got the e-mail today they are shipping my next ones today...1 day turnaround is awesome!

I did the Blockbuster one for a while, but their movies take anywhere from 2-4 days to arrive. Netflix takes just one, unless they don't have your movie in stock at the local shipping center, then they send the movie from another shipping center, which could be in another state, and it might take an extra day or two. But I prefer the Netflix because it is quicker and I really didn't feel like driving out of my way to Blockbuster just to get my money's worth.

I started out when it was $9.99 for unlimited movies a month, but cancelled it and never sent the movies I had back. They never sent me to collection or anything like that over their 3 movies, so they are cool in my book!

Neflix does rock! I signed up recently. One movie at a time, but unlimited times a month. I probably go through 2 or 3 movies a week. All for $10 a month. No late fees, no hassle of having to run to the video store before 12am on the day your movie is due. Sure beats paying $5 a movie at bluckbuster. On occasion you will get a scartched disc, but just file a complaint on netflix.com and they send out a new movie to you the next day. I love it.

Blockbuster's online program is pretty tight....I get my movies within a day....and you can return the movies to an actual store and get either a free movie or game rental while the store sends the movies you just exchanged back through the mail for you....that way you're actually getting twice the amount of movies......and Blockbuster has no more late fees
