the one ive gone to for years has called and left a message after a week of me not bringing movies back. the last time i rented, i went out of town on an emergency job for a week and found charges on my card for the movies i forgot to return. no message on my machine, 9 days late. havent been back since, wont give them any more money.

I love Netflix, but here is a small rant.

I wanted to get Wall-E so I put it as #1 on my list before it came out. I think that was mid to late November.

Well as of last week it still said long wait and I never did get it. I ended up cancelling last week. 3 months is just too long to wait for a movie.

Netflix Instant Watch has been growing and kept me occupied for quite a while and even let me see movies I haven't seen before, movies I would've NEVER rented if I went to the store.
