Netflix Value

Just out of curiousity, I went to the "Your Account" section in Netflix and asked for my complete rental history. They'll only give that to you in an email, and it took a while for it to make it, but it finally did. Since I signed up on October 24 of last year I've rented 42 DVDs. When I first signed up they were charging $23.64/month, but starting my second month they dropped their price to $19.34/month. (Why it went up to $19.37 this month I couldn't tell you.) So I've paid Netflix a total of $139.71.

So my current cost per movie with Netflix is $3.32. That's maybe a bit below Blockbuster's rental price, but I'm so bad with returning movies that I could just about guarantee that any Blockbuster rental would turn into a $10 expense after I've paid my late fees.

Netflix rules.

Also, I don't know about you, but I get a whole lot of stuff from Netflix that just isn't available from a local video store.
