A movie or two
I recently signed up for the “Netflix lets you rent, watch and return DVDs from home - Try free for 2 weeks” offer that you see advertised around town. It seemed like things were slowing down around my house and we might have a chance to watch a couple or three movies during our nice free trial. I signed up for the 3 movie plan with the Blu-ray option (they send you the Blu-ray version whenever it is available - I LOVE that). To prove how un-busy I thought we would be, I put 30 DVDs into My Queue. I knew that we couldn’t possibly watch every one of them, but at least we wouldn’t run the risk of not having a movie in the list.
The first movie on the list arrived the very next day with the other two arriving the day after. We watched the first one that same day and mailed it back the next morning. But the other two movies sat around for a couple or more days. We finally finished watching them and sent them back. In the meantime, the replacement to the first one showed up. And so on… I really have to hand it to them. The movies arrived very quickly!
My free trial ended yesterday. The grand total of DVDs watched during the free trial was 5 movies with the 6th arriving on the last day. We decided to give it a full month and see how we like it. We didn’t have any chance to watch anything from the “Watch Instantly” selection, but I would really like to give it a fair try.
