I'm considering getting a subscription to Netflix, primarily to satisfy my newly-acquired anime habit. I was wondering if any of you have a subsciption to it, and can give me any advice as to whether it is a good investment or not. Thanks.

Nope, not I, although I have heard it is good...

No way am I paying any sort of money for crap video. I'll take a pristine DVD, thank you very much.

I am a member of Netflix now for over a year and I LOVE it. You get to hang on to the DVDs as long as you want, mailing them back is quick and their service is fast. They have a wide variety of anime to choose from as well as toher good films. I have no complaints about Netflix. I say go for it you won't regret it.

It'll be even better when DVD recorders get cheap.

On that note, how much porn can a DVD hold?

How much is Netflix and what sort of commitment do you have to make?

$20/mo for 3 DVDs at any given time. They pay postage both ways. I don't subscribe, but AFAIK, you give them a list of what you want to watch, and they send you DVDs based on availability.

From what I can tell, there are no comitments or any due dates for the DVDs.

Double-sided dual-layer DVDs can hold up to 17GB, and how much you shove on there depends on the image and audio quality.

Ive never used it, but my friends who have really enjoy it. Does not seem like there is any time limit to return the DVD. Think about it, you can rent Edward Penis Hands and not have the hot girl behind the counter sneer at you.
