Netflix
I signed up for a free trial for Netflix - I'm already hooked & I think I'm going to spend the monthly fee to keep it. Rob & I can watch different stuff on our computers - it's freaking awesome. I can also stream stuff like the Autopsy series & Cold Case Files.
There are a lot of movies & whatnot I've wanted to watch or check out, but don't necessarily want to buy. Our movie library is relatively small. We don't go out & drop wads of cash on every new movie - only the things we know for certain we're going to watch over & over again. Normally, that's where Hollywood Movies would come in because we'd go rent a movie every couple of months. However, the one by our house is out of business (we missed the sale, too, blargh!) & we're not going to drive across town to rent something. We went to Wal-Mart & BestBuy tonight to price movies, but the selections are depressingly limited & overpriced. I'm not going to pay $100 for a collection of anime when I'm not sure if I'm going to like it or not. I was thinking, well, we don't have our WoW subscriptions anymore, maybe we should get basic cable again - Rob's already going nuts w/out something to keep him occupied all day. But, most of what I've been seeing on t.v. at work is not appealing to me - just how much has reality programming taken over the airwaves?
That's where Netflix came in. It's the awesome. My only beef with it is that it won't work on SeaMonkey, & not
everything they have can be streamed instantly :P
