:said by snipper_cr :Hmmm $4 for a 24 hour viewing of a movie... that seems a little steep for me.
True it is easier than running out to the dwindling number of Hollywood videos or Blockbusters to see ..... Exactly. Convenience usually comes at a price. And there is a WORLD of people that would rather hit a button then log on and order or run out and hope there is a copy still there the day of release.
I am a dedicated NetFlix user however. But we have never gotten much recent or first run since we have to queue it up and wait and return.
We usually use Netflix for series like THE WIRE or RESCUE ME or THE SHIELD. Shows we just started getting into and wanted to get caught up on.
For setteling in when you get a free minute though after the kids alseep and nothings on? On Demand is KING. Go to "JUST IN" and watch a movie.
Different lifestyles have different needs.
YMMV
Last I checked...the new releases at the rental stores are running about the same price...(My wife and I rent movies ALLLLLLLL the time) I think its a major convenience not having to leave your couch and not acquire late fees if you don't get it back on time. This is a big positive in my opinion.
