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.

Re: It's the ickiest sticking point of the service, yeah.

My mom's been a customer for a little under a year now, and she watches a good six to ten movies a month, if not more. She lives in NYC, so that may affect the speed of her shipping, but she hasn't experienced any serious lag time. Me, on the other hand, I've seen some serious lag in the last month or so (it's about the fourth month I've had Netflix) but a lot of that is because I'm not so good at returning movies right away, I thought. Perhaps it's because they're slowing down my service, who knows. But I've had no problems yet with not getting the movie on top of my queue.

Overall, it's worth it for me. I watch a lot of documentaries and TV series via Netflix and it's great.
