In addition, the "supporting the local video store" is great if you live in a large contemporary metropolitan area--like San Francisco. But if you live in the sticks, there's only a couple mom-n-pop video stores (and if it doesn't contain Bruce Willis, Will Smith, or Mickey Mouse--or their related genres, you're out of luck), and then there's Schlockmuster, which has its own stocking peculiarities. This is even more of a concern when you can't walk "down the hill" to the video store and live miles away. After awhile, late fees, et al, are inevitable. Netflix might not be for everyone, but it works far better than some would like to give it credit for.Scott Fouruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743444643361564014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787649.post-1147633510263887502006-05-14T15:05:00.000-04:002006-05-14T15:05:00.000-04:00I think his critique is actually just complaining....I think his critique is actually just complaining. He says "But I noticed that my three DVDs from Netflix tend to sit around and gather dust week by week, to the point where it doesn’t make financial sense to spend about $20 per month to watch three DVDs."<BR/><BR/>He isn't letting this service work for him, and then he blame the service. $11.99 + tax for 4 DVD's (2 at a time) mailed to his door, with return postage-- that's the plan for him, and what's not to like about that? So he still has to go to the video store--big deal! <BR/><BR/>Bottom line is that Netflix offers movies for movie lovers, and you have access to all the best of cable and the networks--DVD's you won't likely be able to rent in his local mall. When you add in the savings in time and gas and hassle, plus all the tools at the site, it seems, pardon me, that he is chattering without cause. Netflix, in my opinion, is one of the best deals, and one of the best sites to be found anywhere on the web.Ozymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323808982679767262noreply@blogger.com
