Who uses it and likes it?

I personally use it and think it is a wonderful service, I'm able to get about 2 movies a week. After the shipping and receiving has been done. So it is pretty good, so I get about 8 movies a month, total. If you are on the 1-at-a-time. So it sure does beat going to the store. Blockbuster offers the same thing but I'm not a fan of Blockbuster so therefore don't use it.

I don't mind netflix, but I love the blockbuster one.....3 movies at once and then take it to the store, get 3 more movies in exchange and then get your next 3 like 2 days later. It's very impressive and easy. Surprisingly quick too.

Yea, I don't really like Blockbuster due to past experiences with them. Even though in this case wouldn't have no effect but still I'm holding a grudge on them.

Yea, Netflix doesn't offer the drop-off in store but the mail-in works just as good I think. Personally 3 movies at a time is enough for me and usually I always have a movie on hand since I rarely watch all 3 right after another. I love how I can make a list and it gets sent to me and also love how Netflix lets you rate movies and then it recommends movies you like off what you rated past movies.

I'm quite new to Netflix a week or so but for now I have seen it to be wonderful. I'm sure Blockbuster is the same but I'm still going to hold a grudge... :-P

Yea, I bet soo...

What my first thought was when Blockbuster did the same thing. Netflix should soo show them up and do something even more outragious...

Netflix also offers this cool feature where you can watch movies directly from your computer. But some people don't like doing this but my monitor is of course flat and is pretty good sized. So I just turn it around and show it towards the bed and act as if it is a TV and watch movies from there.

So it is kind of an alternative if you don't have a movie in hand. Then when blockbuster did the "No Late-Fees" it confused alot of people as not all blockbusters allowed that. They also took that from Netflix probably... haha

Then GameFly, I haven't used it but I think it would be nice but I would rather own the game as I'm not always very fast beating games. So usually it maybe months before I beat a game as I don't play it all the time and then usually if I rent a game it is to test it out. So GameFly probably wouldn't be for me...

Yea, wouldn't work for me but for some it could be pretty cool. At least it would allow you to know if you like the game or not. I wouldn't be suprised if they started making everything so simple.

I actually just recently move form netflix to blockbuster due to easy store exchange, if netflix allows unlimited download for the movies i will definitely switch back

Yea, they should do that. Only problem is they would have to figure out a way for the movies to expire. So that users cannot keep them permanantly. Right now they have very few movies that you can watch directly from the web. Most of them are kinda old.
