Of course I don't watch 60 movies a month, my point was simply that if you watch net flicks at the fastest possible rate they can be mailed and processed (which of course no one actually dose) the per-disc cost could be down in the 15 cents range and I hated No Country for Old Men (a movie that was hyped as being 'good' mind you) so much that even 15 cents would have been a rip off.

Blockbusters opened their first store in my hometown about 10 years ago. I walked in to see what's up. They had a lot of stuff (I guess that's their selling point.. looking big?). So I decided to sign up since they were nearby my house. Then something struck me on the form.. deposit... what's that? So I asked the guy, he said it's just in case you damage the disc. So I asked the guy, what if I buy a disc, put it in, find it doesn't work, bring it back asking for my money back and you blame me for the damage, I lose my money (which I lose anyway since I have to pay the deposit now and who bothers to unregister from a video store?). I told him that it's bull****. I left the form uncompleted and left.be free

Explain your math.
Best deal is 16.99$ a month for 3 discs out. To get to 15 cents a disc requires you to watch 113 discs a month. Dividing by 3 (for # of discs out at a time) means that you need to exchange each disc 37.7 times a month. Given a day out, a day in and a day of processing time (to be generous I'll ignore the fact that Netflix doesn't work during weekends in my experience) the most number of times you can ACTUALLY change a disc per month is ~10 times (this is still very high; more realistically it's in the 8 times per month range).
In other words, you're FOS.

To be clear, the mormons don't own any of the above because they're too busy paying off law enforcement to turn the other way on polygamy and to ensure gays can't marry in California. Fact.Originally posted by Tuberski View PostThey own Coke and Pepsi and Budweiser, too!!!!
