11/2    Anyone using netflix or another online DVD rental servie like
        walmart, I am interested to hear about how long the turn around
        time is. What's the max # of movies you can get in a month?
        \_ I've been using Netflix for about a year, and it's great.
           You tell them the top 10 movies you want to see, and they
           send you 3 of them; you can only keep 3 at a time, and when
           you send one back, upon receipt they send you another one
           immediately. Turn-around time is very impressive. One morning
           I sent back a movie, and later that day they sent me an email
           saying the next one ws on its way.
           \_ And you received it on the next day? or the day after that?
              You mean it's not guaranteed that they will have it?
              So if I get 3 and return 3 the next morning, I can get 6
              in a week? Is it possible to get 9 in a week?
           \_ I send them in on Monday.  They receive on Tuesday and ship
              new ones out.  I get them on Wednesday.  I'm in the Bay Area.
           \_ When I had Netflix I sent them in on Monday, they get it on Wed.
              Then I'd get new ones back Fri or Sat.  I'm in SJ.
              \_ If that's true then it's too long of a turn around time for
                 me. So I only get 3 each week, which is about 13 a month.
                 I am thinking about the blockbuster one, 2 every day, which
                 comes out to be 60 a month, for $24. For 2 months, I'll have
                 120 movie collections.
                 \_ Are you just ripping them?  12 a month was plent for me.
                    There really aren't that many movies worth watching.
                    \_ Yes I am ripping them. I want to have some of the must
                       have movies for the past 10+ years. Actually I am having
                       more run ripping them than watching them, hehe.
