I've been thinking about it too. S'pose you had to give them your CC information to get the free trial, huh?

I used netflix. I like Chapter serials & old B westerns. After renting all they had in the inventory I dropped out.
Wal-Mart also has on line rentals. I did the same thing with them. Both rental services are very good. I check ever so often to see if they added anything more to the inventory. When they do. I will rent more.

I have it and love it. I've recently upgraded to the $29.95 a month service, so I get FIVE movies out at a time. Since they mail everything out so fast, I haven't been without one or two movies on my table since. No waiting or "dead times" at all!
But... Between having the service for six months and having owned a video store, I'm really strating to have to scrape for movies that I want to see. Most current blockbusters, I've had in my store, and most classics I've already seen. You'd think with 30,000 movies or whatever they advertise, that I'd find more to see, but it's starting to be a struggle!
I've spent most of my recent weeks in their documenatry section- if in doubt, learn something!

I have it also and love it. Before I moved my old buildingnwas not cable enabled so I was on the eight movies at a timeplan for entertainment. I rent series that I missed, old classics, art house stuff that I never would have had the opportunity to see and work on my spanish thanks to the huge foreign film collection. I have scaled down two the 5 and am considering going back to the 3 at a time plan but I love having entire serie season available for weekend marathons.

Oh another thing.
Since I got netflix and RoadRunner, I haven't had time for regular TV, so I cancelled my cable subscription.

Nothing on TV but garbage anyways!

prof,
both walmart and netflix want your cc for registration.
netflix just raised prices,they said their gross margin is under pressure as chum rate is high-subscribers are getting too speedy in returning and ordering ,and then finally dropped out after seeing most movies .

I use them all the time. Their warehouse is about 40 miles from my house. Returned a dvd yesterday it already arrived back to them and should have another tomorrow. A great deal.

They bank on the average person not maxing out his plan. My friend gets about 2 "turns" a week with 5 movies. He copies them and they're back in the mail the same day. He then watches at his convenience. Their distribution is very fast indeed.
