I have impeccably remarkable timing. Two weeks ago I signed up for Netflix. Netflix is an Internet based company that will send you a DVD of your choosing and you send it back and they send you another movie for a relatively small monthly fee. It is a good system and works really well. The usual turn around time is 2-3 days. I was so excited about seeing all the movies I had wanted to see but not spend 3.50 on. When you have unlimited rentals, you watch movies you've already seen, or wanted to see but had not yet. Later that night, of the day I signed up, I saw an advertisement for blockbuster's service that had the exact same features at the exact same price plus the option to return your movie to one of their brick and mortar stores at no charge other than the montly fee. I finished out my 2 week free trial of netflix today and signed up for blockbuster. I then saw this web site today.

That link goes to a story that details the launch of Netflix new service that allows you to watch movies on your computer from a streaming feed off their servers at no extra charge.
Maybe I should do some research in the future when it comes to what services I subscribe to!
