sooo, has anyone tried "Intelliflix"? Seriously considering them...Netflix is getting worse and worse. I send in a movie, some they get next day, others they don't receive it for 4-5 days? I'm only 90 miles from the facility they get returned to...Yes, the USPS can be notoriously inefficient, but...
The Intelliflix "Superpass" for $8.25/month sounds like a pretty good deal compared to the $14.99 I pay with Netflix...

when i first got netflix it was great. i would get my movie in 1 day. watch it and send it back. they would get it the next day and ship me out my next one. i would get anywhere from 3-6 movies a week.

then it started getting slower and slower. finally when i canceled it i was getting maybe 3 movies a week. that continued for 3 months then i canceled.


went to blockbuster and it was fine. I havent had to much of a problem. i been getting 3 movies a week. but with blockbuster you can do 1 in store rental a week.

I had Netflix for a year and it was great for the first 6 months. Then they started sending me broken or scraped up movies and it starting taking forever to recieve the movies.

I canceled.

Umm...so you're calling me a theif? If you want to judge me, why don't you sit in a corner and suck your thumb because you DON'T KNOW how many movies I attempt to watch in a week. Bye.


WOW, someone needs a timeout.

i've had netflix for over year now. I got throttled (3 per time service). I'm not complaining about it, because, well, it's obvious they would do it if they offer the 4,5,6,etc at a time services. For some reason, it just doesn't bother me much. Sony on the other hand.... heh.

anyway, I've gotten maybe half a dozen scratched dvds that were so bad my players would skip on it. I've had 2 broken ones. I stopped using it for like a month because I just didn't have time and seem to have been "unthrottled" and got underworld evo on the day it was released.

probably will cancel tho... don't have money to waste anymore. I must note that I do live about 15 minutes from the warehouse (I just haven't physically seen it...) and drop the movies off at the post office the PO Box address is listed at :)

intelliflix looks really cool tho... i might switch instead.

i've been very happy with netflix, though i mostly rent anime and older artsy films like the seventh seal and le samurai, only recivied one broken disc (last temptation of christ, which the data side looked like someone took a hammer to it), and only one time did the discs not arivive on the date they said, which i suspect the discs in question came from a distribution center fairly far from my area.
