For you Netflix users, does anyone have a plus or ultimate account?

[Nocturnal]

Standard - 3 movies out a time for $21.99
Plus - 5 movies out a time for $33.99
Ultimate - 8 movies out at a time for $49.99
Economy - 2 movies out at a time (limit: 4 rentals per month) for $14.99

There is the standard, which I have, then the other three.

Anyone here have the Plus or Ultimate?

I see. So is it worth it?

i go back and forth between standard and plus. particularly when i'm going thru a series like Alias, 24, etc.

as long as netflix doesn't throttle you, then if you rent a good amount of movies its worth it. Since I have a blockbuster really closeby, I'd rather do their 3 out for $30 plan instead of waiting for the mail all the time. Plus I enjoy browsing the isles and seeing DVD covers.

So you pay one month 19.95 then one month 34.95?

I have watched lots of TV shows that would be a pain to buy/rent from BB/ see on TV with the ads and wait for one week. I have seen Band of Brothers, X-Files, CSI, 24, Alias, Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, West Wing (yuck!), Homicide, Sex and the City, Six Feet under and maybe some more that I am missing. They have great collection of movies as well as well as foreign films, anime and documentaries. Rarely have I not found movies in Netflix. Only disadvantage is that sometimes movies might take some time to come because they have a long wait on them or you cannot watch the movies fast enough. I would recommend decrypting the DVD's and watching them if you can so that you can return the original DVD's and deleting them after you are done.
