Netflix has any one here tried them out.

If so how are they? is it cheaper to rent this way or just buy the movies I want. Or maybe rent them then burn them onto another disk? or would that be right to do, got the good bad debate going on inside me and it's giving me a headache.

So im just wondering peoples thoughts on this.

I really liked my short experience with them simply because I could rent stuff that wasn't available to rent OR buy in this area, and it saved me late fees and trips to the video store. ;D

I had an account with them for a while, it worked as advertised and I watched a lot of stuff I wouldn't have otherwise (Like the animated Starship Troopers series).

I only canceled it because I never seemed to have time to watch the movies and I was paying $10 a month for 2-3 movies that just sat on my table.  Funny thing is, when I rent one locally, the same thing happens, but I spend $10 in late fees.

For the life of me I can never seem to return the damn movies on time to the video rental store.

::sigh::

I think blockbuster has a contract out on me.

Consider me another one. I used netflix for awhile, and was real pleased with them. GameSpy is another good one if you have a game console.

Yeah, I rented a movie, Doc. Dollitle 3 awhile back from a little corner store, and I have a $3.00 late fee sitting there now. I guess I need to go into town later and pay it. :D
