Netflix

I finally decided to sign up for Netflix as I am tired of watching broadcast channels that don't always come in - thank you digital television for being so crappy!

As I stated in an earlier post regarding my trial period of Netflix, I am pleased with how very easy it is to use. (I think even my parents could do it, however, I am not going to suggest it for my own sanity!) Anyway, the wife and I watched a movies in her laptop and she was somewhat impressed with the fact that we could choose from so many different movies and television shows. (I am impressed with my choices of documentaries, not so much the wife, though.) After we watched her choice, I watched a PBS documentary on Machu Picchu and Fargo. Three "rentals" in one night and I never even left the couch! Knowing that there are so many more choices than just movies makes it worth the $9 a month, at least for me; the wife is still undecided.

The only thing I feel is missing is the ability to make a playlist, not just a Queue List. I would love to be able to make a list of similar themed movies or documentaries, even just when I find something I might want to watch, I can come back to it verses having to scan all the options each time I want something "different". Is it that big of a deal? No, not really as I can just make a note on my Touch and be on my way! I'll deal and it is in no way going to turn me away from Netflix anytime soon!

So, again, if there is anyone considering Netflix give the Free Month Trial a go and you will soon find that $9 is peanuts for the convenience and ease of use!
