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. |
