Netflix?

[cicer]

I am one of the last holdouts, one of the people who has never used Netflix. But right now, there a really a lot of DVDs that I'd love to see that I have no other way of getting ahold of. And I'm really not willing to shell out the money to buy these things, because a) that's way too expensive and b) I'm not even sure I'll like them that much. So I'm thinking about signing up.

I'm a little uncertain about this, so I'm appealing to those of you who are or were members. Did you like it? Would you recommend it? Is a it a good deal, a good service? Let me know.

I like Netflix because of the selection. I don't watch as much as octopedingenue, so I haven't noticed any real slowdown in what I'm getting, and I like that if I don't feel like watching a movie for a while and hang on to it for a month, I don't have to pay late fees. :D

Anyway, the selection is the best thing about it - around here, Blockbuster is my only other choice, and it, bascially, suscks rocks.

The no-late-fee thing is a definite selling point for me, because the local video store is completely not on my way to work or my usual errands, so I generally end up paying for any movie I rent twice-over with late fees. *facepalms*

And as I said above, the local store is okay with new releases and classics, but that's about all they've got.

It's interesting that you haven't experienced the service slow-down. It makes me wonder if it's a matter of how many DVDs a customer regularly checks out instead of how long the customer had been around.

Thanks for putting in your two cents!
