A question about Netflix

[bobby987]

Im thinking about doing Netflix, I want to check out Wrestlemania 21 thats a 3-disc set, so does that count as One movie or three. Same thing with tv series like the Sopranos, how do they check them?

thanks

3 discs. a 6-disc series counts as 6 discs, a movie with bonus disc is 2 separate rentals, etc.

the only way you get 2 discs to count as 1 disc is if if the movie is split on two discs because it's so long. I've only noticed that on 1 movie though.

how does netflix make money???
with postage and buying all those dvds

Because most people don't "burn and return" 20 movies a month.

eh... new releases are around ~20 retail, I'd say they get it for ~5 each?

no its the cost of shipping and handling too. from what i remember they don't break even if you rent too much.. esp 20 a month lol

last month I 'watched/rented' 36 movies from netflix. They have a 'depot' in Cleveland, OH (about 20 minutes from me). There is a one day turnaround and if the planets align just right, I can do 30+/month.

Very little overhead compared to blockbuster or Hollywood Video.
