Upon the closing of our last brick-and-mortar store in the area, there was no way to rent movies except through Red Box (not recommended!!!). I've received the "try netflix" offer before and felt it was time to try it.

You have two ways to receive movies - through the mail on dvd or you can watch online with a PC (or through internet ready devices like xbox or Wii). I've tried both, the online watching and through DVD. It basically takes one business day to get the DVD in your queue which is pretty quick in my opinion (e.g. drop the dvd in the mail on Monday, you get a new one on Wednesday). Online viewing is dictated by your connection speed and automatically adjusts if you have a slower connection. Films look good, not dvd-quality but its not meant to be if you're going the online route. Even my slowish 900kbps cable connection at my apartment could handle Netflix streaming but at its lowest quality setting. Still watchable but the quality was noticeably degraded compared to the film at my parents (with the 5mbps connection :p ).

Unlimited plans start at $8.99 and I'm happy with that plan.

I like netflix myself. I usually get two dvds at a time when I rent them. :)
