  • Netflix.com - renting DVDs without getting off your butt.

    Jun 09 '01
    Pros: Just need a internet connection, huge DVD selection, unlimited rental time
    Cons: long shipping times, high price depending on where you live, popular DVDs hard to get

    Summary: This review was posted in the Site Reviews section since the Netflix.com review section wasn't up at that time. Now that it is, I've updated this with the other occurrences that have occurred to me over the last several months.

  • NETFLIX + ROKU = UNBELIEVABLE!

    Sep 19 '08
    Pros:

    There are 12,000 Netflix videos available for instant download TO MY TV!


    Cons: For this film buff, NONE!

    Summary: As a lifelong film buff, I'm a Netflix enthusiast - for about a year I've had an entry-level membership (under $10/mo): which gives me access to unlimited DVDs per month (one at a time) and unlimited downloads to my PC OR the incredible new "download to ...

  • service declines after the first couple months

    May 15 '06
    Pros: great service for the first month
    Cons: dishonest, mis-leading advertising, filthy dvd's, poor and dishonest service after a short time.

    Summary: Before you sign up for Netflix read the terms of use carefully. When you start you will get new releases quickly and your turnaround will be fast. If you start to send back the movies too quickly they will just slow down sending your next movie. the ...

  • What a great idea....

    Sep 24 '05
    Pros: Convenient, inexpensive, hassle free.
    Cons: Just a short wait for the dvd to arrive.

    Summary: You'll love this! You can rent 3 dvds at a time and as soon as you mail one back, they send you the next film on your personal list. You can realistically rent twelve or more movies a month for just $20. And there's no cost to mail them back, either....

  • Netflix is 10 times better than Blockbuster!

    Nov 01 '04
    Pros: Fast Delivery and user-friendly website
    Cons: I have no complaints

    Summary: I have tried both Netflix and Blockbutster.com. Here's the deal: Netflix has more titles! Netflix has a more user-friendly website! Netflix has easier website navigation tools! Movies get to you faster with Netflix! I have found that though they ...

  • Netflix has changed the way I watch movies!

    Aug 10 '04
    Pros: Super-fast turnaround, HUGE library, no due dates.
    Cons: Can't think of any.

    Summary: Is a trip to the local video store ever REALLY any fun? Most of the time, the pickin's are slim for movies that interest me, and the newer releases are usually all out. And that "guaranteed in stock" idea? So what? I can't watch a raincheck. Along ...

  • NetFlix - can you trust them?

    Dec 02 '02
    Pros: Very convenient. Appears to be cheap.
    Cons: Lies about shipments, disregard preferences for movies, and send damaged disks.

    Summary: Very simply, I'm still up in the air on this service and am glad they're receiving some competition. They have twice told me they shipped disks (from a town about 15 miles away!), and nothing arrived.

    Further, they send out scratched and...

  • Fantastic Experience

    Jul 18 '02
    Pros: Huge selection, cheap, fast & free shipping, great communications, no more Blockbuster late fees!!
    Cons: Not a thing

    Summary: I just recently signed up for Netflix - to say the least I was a little hesitant about the time it would take to ship, watch and return ship each movie for easy turnaround for someone living on the East Coast (Netflix is based in CA). What I found was...

  • Great DVD source for lazy renters :-)

    Aug 20 '01
    Pros: Don't have to drive anywhere, no late fees, good selection
    Cons: none

    Summary: I recently got an email referring me to netflix.com. The offer was for a two week trial of their service. Since I watch a lot of movies I figured I would give it a shot. Netflix offers a pretty cool service if you love to rent DVD's.

  • Netflix, for avid connoisseur and the truly lazy

    Jul 22 '01
    Pros: Big selection of rare movies. Shipped to your house, free return postage. Unlimited rental time.
    Cons: Waiting lists for popular/new movies. Waiting for them. Poor shipping packaging.

    Summary: The idea behind Netflix.com is a great idea. Why go out to the video store when you just click away and have them delivered to you? They charge $20/month + tax for the ability to have 3 movies out at a time. There are no late fees and you can have the...

  • NetFlix is Great!!!

    Jul 21 '01
    Pros: DVDs in my mailbox, movies I want to see, when I want to see them.
    Cons: Can't Think of One.

    Summary: I absolutely love NetFlix, it is the next best thing to owning all of your favorite movies on DVD, I’ve been a member of NetFlix since July of 2000 and I will be a member as long as it exists.

  • How Convenient Can You Get?

    Jul 08 '01
    Pros: No More Late Fees!
    Cons: Long wait time for new films.

    Summary: I love the convenience of renting DVD's over the net. Netflix has a much better selection than my local blockbuster and I can search the database by genre, actor, director, etc in order to hone my viewing by taste. The DVDs come with a prepaid...

  • Try it you'll like it!

    Jun 29 '01
    Pros: I'll never have to deal with those Bozos at Blockbuster again!
    Cons: No instant gratification.

    Summary: It was a sad day when our local, independently owned video store had to close because it could no longer compete with the big boys. The owners were recommending Kozmo.com and Netflix.com for those of us that really didn't want to go to Blockbuster.

  • A real dot-com winner

    Jun 26 '01
    Pros: HUGE library of DVDs, NO late fees, better than average cross-reference rating system
    Cons: sometimes shipping is slow, certain movies are out of stock for months

    Summary: Netflix.com is without a doubt the best thing to come along since the invention of sliced bread.
    For a mere $40 per month I have watched hundreds of DVD movies on their most generous rental plan.

    Now netflix is not for everyone, but it's...

  • Netflix.com: Bye, Bye Blockbuster Video.

    Jun 21 '01
    Pros: No late fees, really convenient, wide selection of HK movies.
    Cons: Some movies rented out for long amounts of time.

    Summary: I've been with Netflix for a long time. I first joined when they offered only the per movie fees. You'd rent out a disc for as long as you wanted for a flat $3.99, and then return it.

    Now they've got a bunch of different plans, where you...

  • Better than Blockbuster

    Jun 19 '01
    Pros: Fast service, great customer service
    Cons: takes a while to get your dvd if you're not in california

    Summary: Blockbuster lost a tape that I returned, and they said that it's my fault because I haven't returned it. Well, I dropped the tape in that drop-off box, who's from preventing the little twit behind the counter from taking the tape? So I paid the cost...
