I'm not sure if this is in the right spot, but here it goes.

I was stumbling on Firefox and Netflix popped up. Has anyone ever used this or know anyone? Is it worth it to even find out? I really love watching movies and love watching old tv shows that are currently not on anymore.

I'm thinking about getting it and I was searching and found out that Blockbuster did a similar thing. Anyone know which would be better and why?

My family has a NetFlix subscription. I believe we have the least expensive option (we can only have one movie at our house at one time). We love it! We have a new movie about every week or so, because it takes us a few days to all watch it.

Also, if you have a Windows Computer, you can watch movies from the NetFlix online library =o

Oh that's cool. I do have windows vista. Is that online movie thing available for any subscription ?

That seems to be the case--even those who are just giving it a try get to access it!

"During your free trial (available for first time members only), you will enjoy full access to our library of over 100,000 DVD titles from classics to new releases to TV series."

I highly recommend Netflix. Had an account at my old house for a few years (away at college now, will probably get it again) and it was fantastic. The movies come the next day after the one you send back gets picked up, they have a very efficient and fast system.

Blockbuster's system I have never tried but they only started it because they were getting destroyed by Netflix. I think last summer alone I watched a good 30-40 movies using it, and got to catch up on everything I never got to see in the theater.

Hope that helps.

Wow. So once you send back your dvd and get a new one is around 2 days? That's pretty good. I checked out the prices and they are pretty good. I like the fact that there is the option to watch movies on my computer as well. Thanks for all the info guys!

Is there anything like this in Canada? I would really like getting movies without having to go to the store, find the movie, rent it, drive home, watch, return and repeat.

I guess you could maybe go on Netflix.com and see if they also go to Canada. If you have Blockbuster Video, they have a similar service as well.
