I recently tried the 2 week trial and thought it was great. I'm in western Wis so mine also shipped from Minneapolis.
The selection was awesome, but yes, the turnaround was a bit slow.

FYI, you can cancel your account immediately after filling your queue. They'll continue to ship the DVDs from your queue to you until your next 'billing cycle', which is done after the 2 weeks obviously. This way you don't have to worry about forgetting to cancel on the 14th day.

Funny, I had Blockbuster trial on awhile ago in SF Bay Area too. They were SLOOOOOOOW...maybe six days turnaround time

Netflix is much better since they come from San Jose and I live in Fremont, turnaround time is TWO DAYS!!!

I can live with the higher price for a month longer since they're lowering their prices in november.

I have two day on all my movies. Maybe it's they type of movie rented. Have the three out and I get a movie in the mail almost everyday. Granted most of them are rather far down the queue. I use the online for the older movies and the coupons for the new releases. Works for me.

Who do you think you are! Where do you get off spitting on the fallen soldiers? But then again it is easy for a coward to speak out on issues of which they have no knowledge. I STRONGLY urge you to remove the "Good thing for Bush that those dead soldiers can't vote." line. Not only is it disgraceful, it is outright slander.

I don't know about the Slander thing but I'll agree with the rest! That has no place in this forum or on anyones Sig! It's an absolutely ridiculous and disrepectful statement.
