Cheap Netflix Alternatives?

[flloyd]

I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to Netflix. I don't watch a ton of movies so I am willing to just have two movies out. Has anyone tried any alternatives? These are some that I've found:

QwikFliks
Cafe DVD
FlickFlix

Any thoughts on these or others?

Thanks a bunch.

try blockbuster's beta program... it is cheaper by a few bucks, and you get 2 in-store rentals a month

i just signed up for hollywood video's new thing... you get 3 movies at a time and you can keep them up to 5 days.. it's like 9.99/mo for the first three months, but you gotta go do in-store transactions, no online

I'm looking for an online one because there aren't any rental shops nearby. Also I'm looking at about $15 a month rather than $20. Thanks for the help. Hopefully I can hear more suggestions.

Thats what I signed up for too, but my nearest hollywood video has a crappy dvd selection because its a new store. Imma change to something else when the $9.99 3 months are up.

That sounds perfect but I can't find it. Do you know where that is listed? Thanks

for me, the option came up when i was signing up

I tried signing up. Seems they don't have that option anymore. Thanks though.

Okay I signed up for NetFlix's free 2 week trial and there is the option to switch to 2 for 15 but unfortunately the limit is 4 per month. I figure I'll do the unlimited for the first 6-10 weeks and then swith to the cheaper deal. That should last me at least a year or more.
