Netflix —
I joined Netflix out of frustration with Blockbuster. The point of my having a mail order movie rental subscription was so I didn't have to burn gas and time going to the neighborhood rental store every other day. I like it that I can log on my computer, put movies in my queue, have them sent to me in the mail by the order of my queue. I haven't had any movies come out of order yet so far within the last 3 months. The only negative I've experienced is a little throttling sometimes when I watch more than 4 movies a week. Netflix will then spend an extra day processing my returned movies. When that happens, I usually watch an on-demand movie on the website. The only drawback to the on-demand instant movies is that they don't always have new releases - usually a lot of the older movies and just only 6,000 or so movies to choose from. All in all, I am very pleased with my subscription with Netflix and I recommend them to others - especially those that don't have the time to drive to a neighborhood rental store only to find out the movie you were looking for are all checked out.
