I tried Netflix once, it wasn't worth it. The turnaround time wasn't as impressive as one day, more like 3 days, and they always sent something random from my queue instead of the first one on the list so when I received something I wasn't always interested in seeing it right away and it just sat on my table for days. I live in a rural region with slower than normal internet access and download caps so I can't stream movies. I do rent new releases regularly from Redbox. I generally spent less than $5ea (avg $2-3) on the DVDs I bought and can watch them whenever I want and even though I don't see that collection getting bigger I'm seriously considering putting all my CD and DVD discs in CD sleeves in a binder.
