    LOVE IT!


    the only 'negative'....as a long-standing and frequent DVD returner to get more per month, they do slow down your mailings, and hold back the new releases more. :mad: however, in comparison to all else, the are the BEST! especially nowadays, all we have left local is blockbuster, and i hate blockbuster.

    I finally have a good reason to check my mail. The mail man was getting tired of me threatening his life for putting bills in there anyway..

    I did a study on this in University, and while they have thought of expanding into Canada, they still have not yet.

    I don't think we have had any business try this successfully yet, so Netflix could totally corner a market here if they brought their buisness model up here

    What about all the tv shows you wanted to see but never did? Now's your chance! Tv on DVD is the best thing ever.

    And, you can try netflix for free if you want.

    hmmmm...i wonder if they are a franchise or how their business model works? food for thought eh.......




    it does annoy me that they don't clearly advertise the latest new releases for the week, as they used to do, and also the aforementioned holding back on DVDs, but in comparison to their competition...still head and shoulders above.
