I've been wondering about Netflix for some time now. The idea is that for a twenty-some odd dollars a month you can rent as many DVDs as you want, the catch being you can never have in your possession more than 3 DVDs checked out at any one time. So far the only thing stopping me is wondering how extensive their anime and foreign language collection is. The problem mainly stems from the fact that Netflix advertises that it has "nearly 600" anime and animation DVDs. This is not a large number of anime/animation DVDs, as my own personal library of anime/animation numbers well over 200, and having Lain and Cowboy Bebop listed multiple times on their preview page does not instill a huge amount of confidence in me.
Does anyone use Netflix and have any comments on the service?
Update: A co-worker of mine pointed out the search field on the site, and also showed me Greencine which also provides the same kind of service, although Greencine does look like it carries a much larger selection of foreign flicks, including a section for Hong Kong films such as Steven Chow's God of Cookery and Comrades: Almost a Love Story.
You should use it and see if you like it. I have a family member that uses Netflix. It's a good deal but the thing is that you have to keep on top of the movie returns if you want to get a good deal from the service. If you're a movie junkie then go ahead. But otherwise you might not be able to watch more than one or two movies/ month, in which case it would be cheaper to just go to blockbuster. Has blockbuster also gotten rid of their late fees. I know Netflix doesn't have any. But then you wont be able to get the next movie you ordered until you return the first one.
