And you have to be very careful with them, as participating in one of their promos may result in a higher monthly fee ($17.99 instead of $14.99) -- see <a href="http://www.fivecentnickel.com/2005/07/08/update-on-the-blockbuster-nondeal-for-switching/" rel="nofollow">here</a> for details. <a href="http://www.fivecentnickel.com/" rel="nofollow">fivecentnickel.com</a> Blockbuster sucks.

I know some folks who ran the numbers on Netflix during the early days and proved it wasn't worthwhile...but that was when they only had a couple of distribution centers and turnaround times were long...I've been quite happy with their services.

They've grandfathered us, so we still get 4 DVD's at the 3 DVD price. Not a huge thing since we don't watch a ton of movies, but it showed that they cared about keeping customers. Many other companies would have just bumped customers down to the 3 DVD package. --OL <a href="http://optimizedliving.com" rel="nofollow">http://optimizedliving.com</a> I’ve used Netflix for a couple years now and managed to get started when they let you have 4 DVD rentals out at a time.

Can't speak for Walmart, but I heard they don't carry certain titles for "moral" reasons.
