I recently bought a new TV set that came with Netflix embedded into the TV's software. I had previously been using Blockbuster, mostly as just a holdover since all my movies were entered using that service. A friend of mine recommended Netflix, and since it was integrated into my TV I gave it a try. Since then I have been quite satisfied with the service.

Streaming Movies

One of the best things about Netflix is I can pick out movies on my computer and they will show up on my TV letting me pick from them since my TV is hooked up to the internet. Not all movies on the service are available this way, and not all of the movies available are in HD. Regardless, this is a really awesome option. In a way it's almost like I own the movies because they can permanently sit in my streaming queue on my TV.

Availability

Also, while using Blockbuster I would often pick out obscure 80's horror movies that I'm interested in. It seemed like these movies were always stuck in "long wait" mode and half of them never shipped. I have a feeling that Blockbuster didn't have these movies available in the first place and was just trying to lead me on with them. After using Netflix I've found that all of these movies are available and immediately.

Ship Time

It seems like Netflix might be slightly faster with shipping times than Blockbuster. Overall I probably average about a movie once a week or sometimes twice a week. I do think that Netflix ships my next movie quicker than Blockbuster did.

Wrap Up

Overall I'm quite satisfied with Netflix and all of the devices they're available on. I could pick between my Xbox 360, Blu Ray player or TV set to watch movies on and I'm quite happy with the available movies to choose from with the service. I give Netflix a 9/10

  I always order DVDs online through the library system, and then pick them up before/after work since the library is on campus right near the building where I work in, on my way to where I usually wind up parking. Some newer movies I have to wait for because 100-200 people jump in line within the first few days of the movie being posted on their website, but fortunately multiple copies are available between the handful of local libraries participating in the exchange system.

  That's a nice system Chris. I'm assuming as long as you have a library card that is free? Now if you could just get them to mail the DVD to your house.

  Yeah, free for students/employees. Usually have to park way in back of the campus anyways, so I usually pick them up on my way home, or on my way to/from lunch.
