WTF mate. they changed it again.

all movies and games are 3 days only. but the prices have lowered a bit. i forgot what they said about the movies, but games are now 5.99.

and new release overdue is .99 a day (.69 for older movies).

oh well, looks like ill be switching back to hollywood video. 3 days for a game sucks. a movie isnt a problem, its actually a better deal i guess.

they said the main problem was because with the no late fee, you could rent a movie/game for up to 37 days and only pay $1.25 for late fees and was causing people who wanted to see the movie/game to not have their chance to see.

Netflix has got it figured out.

They charge me 14.something every month.

I've kept the same two movies for two months.

So I've basically spent 28.something for two flicks.

They say they have no late fees, but it all works out when you're lazy and don't watch the shits they send.

haha... i went there today for the first time in a year to rent a gaem for my new PS3

i saw their new policy, read the details, and turned around and left

the funny thing is their promotion to make it seem like a good thing... " Now you know when to return the movie"

Netflix is the best. In addition to the movies I get in the mail I can watch as many movies online as I want. They have quite a few good ones, even some bad Steven Segal movies. But the past few days I've been watching old episodes of Quantum Leap. I think they may have all 5 seasons available online.

that's what I was getting at. The late fees are pretty much built in if you don't return the flicks. I look at it as if I've paid $28 in late fees.
