So, I used to use Blockbuster’s mailer rental, and loved it. But when I moved to new house, there wasn’t Blockbuster nearby. That had been my favorite part of Blockbuster, but without the store nearby, I decided to try out Netflix.

I cancelled my Blockbuster account and eventually sent back all my movies. I went online and found a Netflix_trial_online/218/2">free Netflix trial online, I whipped up an account for the house so everyone could use their own queue, it was fun, and we each had a moving coming at the same time.

The first thing that surprised me about Netflix was their Web site, it really made sense. It was easy to find my old favorites and all those movies that I could hardly remember. And every time I added a movie, Netflix would suggest other movies like it or even featuring the same actor or director. I am a huge Tim Burton fan, so I put nearly all his movies in my queue. My husband chose a lot of action movies and TV shows. It was great though, we set it up so that we could each have one movie at time.

Netflix’s speed also surprised me. In two days, we had our first pair of movies. The mail we had forwarded from our old house still hadn’t started coming! I got my Tim Burton movie, and my husband got Die Hard.

We opened the envelopes, popped some popcorn and watched the movies right away. I was quite happy that both movies (and all those I’ve gotten since) were scratch free and played perfectly. I hated coming back from the movie store, or waiting three days for DVD that skips.

The next morning, we sent our DVDs back in the same envelopes. And another two days later, we had the next pair. Even during the two-week free trial we wound up watching about 12 movies.

After the Netflix free trial ended, we decided to sign up. We decided to keep the two movies at a time and keep our separate queues. Total, Netlflix wound up costing under $14 a month, which was easily the cost of renting a few movies a month.

All in all, I love my Netflix account and tell them to sign up for the Netflix_free_trial/218/3">Netflix free trial. The ability to watch movies online was wonderful too. Even better than running to the movie store when I wanted a quick movie fix.

Best thing about Netflix is the ability to order movies that are not out on DVD yet. The site lets you know release date I move up your choice so it arrives very next day after DVD release. Great service

I love Netflix. We joined the 2 dvds at a time unlimited. When we send them back it takes about a day or two at most to get the new movies from our queue! The kids get a movie and the adults get a movie depending on our week. I have had only one problem with a scratched disc but they sent a new one right away before I sent them the scratched one back. We can also watch movies on the XBox as well now without having to order a movie. It take from the instant queue and we can watch from our list there too. It was great when our Satellite receiver was broken and had to wait for a new one. We just popped in movies and had plenty to watch!

My husband and I are big fans of Netflix as well. He loves the queue system in that he can move things up or down and can quickly add a new release and get it to the top of the queue. Plus, Netflix also carries a decent amount of Blu-Rays, which my husband really likes since he has a PS3 to play them on. Unfortunately, though, Netflix recently sent us a message stating that they were now charging an extra dollar for being able to watch Blu-Ray movies.

In addition, we are an hour away from a Netflix distribution point. We get movies back in two days 99% of the time. In the summer, Netflix is great since I can load the queue with kid movies to keep the kids occupied when they are “bored” and are tired of Nickelodeon.
