Netflix is the [censored].

What I do:

IMDB.com/top100
Blockbuster.com (the new releases section.

Plus, a lot of the time I'll pick an actor and find out what all movies they've been in and get a few of them.

I average about an hour a week on netflix I'd say. My queue never dips below 20 movies.

Did I mention I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Netflix? Even bought stock in the company [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My queue hasn't dipped below 100 since about 2 hours after I signed up and hasn't been under 200 in a couple months [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

You can't have 2000, because the max is 500. I know, because mine is always full and I have to delete movies out in order to add any. Ha, top that!

You might want to consider taking a profit. Blockbuster has a similar product and is lowering price in an attempt to crush the competition. I have the blockbuster program and it works very well. Fast turnaround of movies plus two free in-store rentals per month. $14.99/mo.

The only way I see Netflix growing is by offering a better selection of movies. I don't think they can compete on price/service.

They already have better selection. I wouldn't be surprised if they start struggling, because I don't think selection matters to casual users, who they make money off of. Power users who want wide selection (like me) actually cost them money.

I've had a queue steady around 300 for 7 months or so. I probably go through 30-35 as month and burn copies of everything (originally was burning VCDs but now I can do DVDs).

You guys aren't seeing the big picture. The REAL competition is on-demand stuff through your cable box/DVR. Isn't Netflix hooking up with TiVo on this already? This will completely destroy any sort of by-mail DVD shenanigans.

They've been talking abou this for like 10 years. The problem is that for it become reality, every cable company has to negotiate with every studio for the rights. It'll happen eventually, but who knows when. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
