I'm considering perscribing to netflix, im not sure if i should buy the membership because I thinkit might be too expensive! can someone please tell me if its worth the money and also how much it would cost to get unlimeted movies for a month?
They have three unlimited plans at present, cost varies depending on how many DVDs you want to have out at a time:
1 DVD at a time $8.99 per month
2 DVDs at a time $13.99 per month
3 DVDs at a time $16.99 per month
All three plans feature unlimited watching of movies online on your PC. I find they tend to have a lot of older, foreign and art movies than Blockbuster, and they have regional shipping centers so you tend to get new movies very quickly. I get 2-3 day turnaround on movies. So if you had the 1 DVD at a time plan and returned a movie the day after it arrived, you could theoretically watch 10-15 movies per month for $8.99 (plus whatever you decided to watch online). Whether it's worth it or not depends on your movie viewing habits, I suppose.
the guy who came up with redbox is seriously a smart cookie...they are all over the country and much easier than dealing with a rental clerk. I never bother renting movies when you can either watch them online or for the most part buy them cheaper than renting... If you are going to subscribe to a mail rental place def go with netflix and not blockbuster...
Around here they have a thing called "redbox" you rent a movie for one dollar for one night,
We have one of those outside the grocery store near my house. But I've yet to see a redbox that has Akira Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood", or John Huston's "Treasure of the Sierra Madre, or Terry Gilliam's "Brazil", or [name your older movie or anything other than the top box office hits]. For a movie aficionado like me, the Netflix admission price is worth it for the access it gives me to movies you won't find at your local redbox ... or for that matter, at your local video store. However, if you're looking for a recent top box office hit (or non-hit), the redbox thing works OK. It all depends on what you're hankering for.
I have netflix and I love it. I'm about to upgrade my plan. My biggest problem though is that I'm too lazy to take the envelope to my mailbox (yeah, sad I know). But I definitely recommend it.
Netflix is great!!! I highly recommend it. We even had our satellite subscription suspended to save money for a few months and haven't missed it thanks to Netflix.
