Red Envelope Madness!

How many movies did you get from Netflix in 2007?

I saw only 263 movies in 2007. It was a slow year. The year before, I saw 473. This is how 2007 breaks down:

Netflix sent me 106 movies,

SilverScreenArchive sent me 65,

Classicflix sent me 2,

I saw 67 in a theatre, on the big screen,

and 23 from other sources, like eBay, Amazon, a dollar store, or Redbox, Video Review.

I managed to avoid Blockbuster and Hollywood Video entirely.

Thank you, Netflix!

    Hey Becky!

    Saw your question posed over on Hacking Netflix, so thought I'd respond in both places :)

    Last year, I had about 105 discs total sent from Netflix (Almost the same as you!), and 10 Watch Instantly. That's pretty good :D As far as purchased movies, I bought and watched about 13 Blu-ray movies last year. In the theater, I probably averaged about 10-12 visits, which I'm not proud of :( I need to hit the theater more often.

    Like you, I also never went to Blockbuster, thank God.

    I signed up for Netflix in Dec. 06, and I absolutely love it. The first disc I rented? "Little Miss Sunshine". I need to rewatch that soon.

    It will be interesting to see the responses to your question on both sites, can't wait.

    Well I don't currently have Netflix, so the number from them is 0. I tried Blockbuster online for a month so I got 20-30 from them. Lately I have mostly borrowed movies from my local library. My overall total for the year is just above yours at 273.

    2005 was my best year so far at 372.

    Rented: 285 (Netflix)
    Bought/Gift: 41
    Burned: 7
    Total discs: 333

    Rental Cost, Total: $ 366.00

    Rental Cost per disc: $ 1.2842

    Plus I forgot RentAnime in Tampa, FL, probably 20 discs that cost me $144 (very slow service). I have since cancelled that one.

    Welcome, y'all!

    I forgot to mention, 7 of my Netflix titles were Watch Now.

    I got the RentAnime numbers wrong:

    I received 32 discs over 5 months which works out to $ 3.125 apiece.

    As you might imagine, I cancelled their alleged "service".

    Well having just recently started with "Watch Now" I have seen 9 with that feature
    I got 291 movies from Netflix, purchased another 624 and saw 7 in theaters, so not counting movies on TV, I watched 885 movies last year. I know it doesn't add up, some I haven't had time for yet; I now have a growing collection of almost 100 movies I haven't made time for yet. I am an avid movie collector and have almost 4,000 DVDs (store bought, every one). Am waiting for the day when I can load them on a personal server and have them all available in every room in the house at any time.

    >Kevin, that's an amazing number of movies watched!

    Is there anywhere online where you list all the movies you own or have seen? I would be interested to see such a list.

    How do you keep track of your collection?

    Do you mind telling me your Netflix profile name? Do you rate all your movies on Netflix?

    Jim Keyes is stupid. He's new CEO of Blockbuster. Beware,any customer's out there, anytime you call for online dept, you get someone in Canada...THEY ARE NOT FROM TEXAS!!! Yes, their hqtrs are in Dallas, but not CS reps, no matter what they tell you when you call. He outsources to save company money, so that's how much he cares about customers! Then on top of that, the reps they did have in TX he just had laid-off, to go outsource! Then on top of that, they tell whomever they fired that they can't go and work at another "entertainment company" for another 2 years!!(i.e. Netflix, Time Warner, etc). WHAT??? So that's how much he cares about his employees'. Oh, and the recent price hike(2nd in 6 months), was done to "weed-out" any non-profitable customers that suscribe to Total Access, and make it to where they will automatically start going back into the Blockbuster stores again(i.e. Movie Pass, Game Pass). Keyes, unfortunatley, bringing "kiosks" into your stores to download movies, and sell other merchandise there, so that a person CAN download there, won't make you that much more money either. Learn to first take care of home(i.e. outsourcing, forcing out long-time customers)first, then think ahead. Be consistant, I'm sure yor current customers AND still-current employees will be much appreciative!!

    I love Netflix! Finally someone is taking advantage of modern technology! No more sending packages back and forth. No more waiting for videos I want to see NOW.

    I simply hook up my Xbox 360 and get movies instantly. The XBox streams them directly to my HDTV. No complicated setups, nothing. Just hook the 360 to the internet and you are ready to start watching unlimited movies when YOU want to.

    The future is here and it's name is NETFLIX!!

    Why was there no follow on bankruptcy then? The bailout of AIG FP went to (wow power leveling) hedge funds that bound credit swaps on Lehman failing or others betting on rating (wow power leveling) declines. AIG has drained over 100 billion from the government. Which had to go to (wow power leveling) those who bet on failures and downgrades. Many of whom (power leveling)were hedge funds. I-banks that had offsetting swaps needed the money from the AIG bailout or they would have been caught. Its an (wow powerleveling) insiders game and it takes just a little bit too much time for most people to think (wow gold) through where the AIG 100 billion bailout money went to, hedge funds and players, many of whom hire from the top ranks of DOJ, Fed, Treasury, CAOBO
