I love Netflix. I rent all my movies from them. It's great because I get a bunch of movies, 3 out at a time, and I don't have to leave my house. The nearest movie rental place is about 20 minutes away.
Generall I usually rent maybe 10 movies a month.
But there are people who are complaining about the service
Mark Hardwick: "I thought it was a great idea. You don't have to go to the video store and you get unlimited videos for a flat price."Under Netflix's standard plan, subscribers can have all the DVD's they want for a fixed monthly price of $17.99 plus tax. Users receive up to three DVD's at one time and the total number they receive each month depends on how quickly they can view and return those DVD's.
Mark would typically request and receive 33 movies a month. That's until recently when he discovered that Netflix's rental service has its limits.
Mark Hardwick: "All of a sudden I noticed I was getting half of the amount of DVD's I used to get and so they basically have cut my service. It's not unlimited even though they say it is."
Well, you are getting a lot of movies. Basically you are watching the movie the same say you get it.
The average movie rental at a rental place is about 2 bucks. With 33 movies you are getting $66 out of your $18 a month subscription.
Seems like a good deal to me.
My odds are on the fact that he is making bootleg copies of those DVD he "watches". Maybe Netflix is cutting into his bottom line.
