New plans

Netflix just added a few more subscription plans:
  • 2-at-a-time (4 rentals per month) for $11.99
  • 3-at-a-time for $17.99
  • 4-at-a-time for $23.99
  • 5-at-a-time for $29.99
  • 6-at-a-time for $35.99
  • 7-at-a-time for $41.99
  • 8-at-a-time for $47.99

I'm leaning towards getting 4-at-a-time..... and I want to push towards getting a movie everyday.... or something along those lines. Although in terms of pricing, Blockbuster has an advantage over Netflix. Blockbuster's 8-at-a-time program is $37.99 -- but knowing that they weren't that efficient with shipping.... kinda makes you think tho....

Anywayssss...... it's lunch time so here I goooooo

Netflix!

So this is a new blog I created just for my Netflix experience. I realized I've been polluting my current blog @ modblog so I thought I can port those in here somewhat. I started with Netflix early this year and so far I've rented 40 dvds, 2 of them somewhat defective (but I didn't report them as it might just slow the next dvds from coming in). My turnaround time is about 2.89 days (and no I didn't calculate this myself.... but Listology does.
Will rant on this blog in the near future so be prepared!!
