I admit it, I am one of those instant gratification type of people. I hate to wait for something. Sure, to buy something online and wait a week, you have that joy of getting something in the mail and opening it. But usually if it’s in a store I’d just pay the extra money I’d save just to have it now and not tomorrow. This is why I never signed up for netflix. I just figured if I wanted to rent a movie, I’d want to rent it now. Not wait 2 days or so. Of course this was until I got my DVD burner. I’m not saying I am renting movies constantly and burning them. That would be illegal. I’m just saying, I got a DVD burner.

The beauty of netflix is that you pay $20 a month flat rate. No postage no nothing. You sign up, you select your first 3 movies you want sent to you and bamn! The next day they are there. Once you get them you turn around and put them back in the pre-paid envelope and send them right back. Once they recieve them, they next day your new selections.

In the course of a week you could work your way though no less than 6 movies. Blockbuster charges around $4 per movie to rent. That’s $24 a week and roughly $96 a month. I’d say thats pretty good savings. Add in the cost of blank DVD’s around $1.50 a blank DVD you’re still saving quite a bit. Not that I am copying these. I’m just telling you what a deal it “could be.”
