Review Of Netflix DVD Rental Service

Posted by Hemos on from the damn-rental-fees dept.

Bigbird504 writes "If you haven't already heard of Netflix, they basically rent DVDs online... but for a price of $20/month. While many believe it isn't worth it, many others do feel its a good bargain. Afterall, you can take out 3 DVDs at a time. Best of all, there are no late fees on returns. You keep the DVD as long as you like, and return it when you are done. Its a pretty interesting concept, and may be well worth the money. Check out this review on Netflix."

    Rent 3 DVDs, rip, rent 3 DVDs, rip ... repeat.


    Well, as long as there is no nasty copy protection, humm.

    They also have a neat recommendation feature. You rate movies (1 to 5 stars) randomly, and based on those ratings, they will suggest movies you might like.. and most of the time, they are right on target

    Wouldn't it make more sense to rate them according to how good they were ;).
