Netflix wins as I go back to 2 disks and streaming . . . .

Too difficult to watch three disks in one day so I can get me money's worth. Much easier to do two and supplement by streaming.

Those boys at Netflix had streaming hooked up in less than 60 seconds and returned my 125 disk queue! How thoughtful of them. The additional billing for the new service this month (10 days left) was $0.66. I think they are glad to have me streaming.

All this macination and they still managed to make me squeal and pay them $5.00 extra bucks in the process. They got what they wanted from me.

I guess that extra five will come out of the cat food budget. Gotta kill the cat.

I just quit their disks and kept the streaming. Got tired of seeing a disk or 2 sitting around unwatched, so I dumped it.

I'll hold on to the streaming until I run out of interesting current offerings or they add some better content.
- Granted, one must appreciate dreck in some fashion to stream daily. * - mr grits 10:30:52 10/20/11 (0)

They have a lot of Top gear episodes that you can stream.
Try 2009 episode 6, the Bolivia special.
Also the episodes where they cross Vietnam on scooters,
an African desert using old beaters that no car had ever crossed.
Also the episode where they tried to make cars into campers.
Some of the episodes are hysterically funny.
Availability is hit or miss...
Try Bigger,Stronger Faster... it's an excellent documentary to watch
sometime when you're just killing time.
ever watch Dead like Me, Warehouse 13, or Farscape?

One of the few companies I tip my hat to...
- Wish they had a premium service though - violinist3 16:41:18 10/17/11 (0)
  but some people wouldn't like that.
  
  Not many real top dog movies at this time but lots of good sleepers and foreign. It's a good place catch up on older films and tv shows.
- The CEO laid a fantastic turd, but it has a great business model. Too bad - tinear 15:28:59 10/16/11 (0)
  that the MBA thingy gets people all methed out, thinking they constantly have to be doing something. That Quickster idea was a doosie.
