I have Netflix 3 at a time deal with the BlueRay option and it is 20.99 a month. The last 30 days I received 20 films. About a dollar a flix, not bad in my book!
You really have to be involved to roll them fast!
I really don't watch much broadcast TV so flix is my 90 minute fix most night.

I'm on the 1 at a time plan with Netflix and get two movies a week for the $9.00+ plan. I'll drop my membership when Saturday postal delivery ends as then it will be one movie a week and won't be worth the cost to me. Besides, I will, by then, have my quadrazillion TMC movies available on Apple TV (OK, maybe I exaggerate the number a little).

I was hoping that Redbox would start renting Blu-Rays. Even if they charged $2-3/night for Blu-Ray, I think it would be really successful.

The game rental prices are what kill me. They are like $9 for a PS3 game now I think. That's roughly 14% of the cost of the game.

I'm amazed there are so many movies worth the time it takes to watch them that anyone would want to see more than 2 or 3 a month.

Spoken like a true Cinemaphobe.
Gee man! Some of us watch more than just the movies that came out this year. Movies from the last 50 years can keep a movie lover endlessly entertained! There ARE many, many movies 'worth the time" to watch, if we look at movies other than just what came out in 2010. Even watching one movie a night, month after month, from all that modern film history has to offer, one can still barely scratch the surface!
