Don't know whether you guys in Canada have this. If you do - forgive me for the explanation:

Netflix is a business where you subscribe for a year and get DVDs sent to your home two at a time. You take all the time you want to watch them - then send them back and Netflix will send the next two DVDs on your list.

My Sister loves this. I always had thought it would be a hassle to send the DVDs back etc. BUT - my Sister gave me a year Netflix subscription for Christmas. I went to their website and saw that they had hundreds of movies and television series available.

I selected "The Tudors" BBC series seasons 1, 2 and 3 first. I received the first two DVDs 2 days after I submitted my list. The DVDs come in a return envelope - so I watched them, plopped them in the envelope and put them in my mailbox for pick-up. Within 24 hours Netflix acknowledged the return and sent the next 2. I received those 2 days later.

The service is absolutely amazing. No hassle - none. I don't even pay postage for the returned DVDs. At this rate, I will go through my "que" before March. I am going to add the entire run of Battle Star Galactica. I missed too many episodes when it was on originally, so I stopped watching it. But now I can see it all the way through.

Amazing company. So Many movies...so little time.....

You can also set up an instant play queue in Netflix - and watch it on your PC without having to wait for the DVDs to arrive by mail... I also have an XBox Live account and my kids watch Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo cartoons and other kids movies on demand. They actually do this more often than playing video games. Great service and Blockbuster has been on the decline ever since.

I also watch mine on the PS3...they have to mail you some disc but it works.

I suppose I never knew that such garbage was created for viewing pleasure. One night I got a bit tipsy and watched Hostel....no idea why.
