How long will the honeymoon last?
Well I don't exactly mean Jen and I, what I'm talking about is with Netflix.
We just signed up for the service, because the local mom and pop video place we were going to just up and closed suddenly. Also, it doesn't help that we really really hate driving to blockbuster....and Jen finds their lack of a decent porno section disappointing.
So we tried Netflix, and so far it's like they're trying to kiss our butts. Ship it out one day, get another one the next day. It's crazy...just almost to good to be true. I thought I had heard alot about long processing times and such, but either they're giving new customers/free trials expediated service, or really it's just that fast. And obviously for a lot cheaper than renting them locally, with a bonus of no due dates.
(and they have anime, and Jen's happy with all the new smut)
Now if you'll excuse me, they finally opened up a Trader Joe's in our area...right on Jen's b-day while we were away getting all engaged and stuff. So we're going to go feel better than everyone and shop there. We might even drive by the Cub's foods and throw organic, free-range eggs at the poor people. :P

Netflix is excellent! I have been using it for about 6 months or so and still no slowdown (with the exception of maybe once or twice.)
My DVD collection has grown exponentially because of this ;)

Just a heads up that I have been with NF for several years now and they go through some growing pains every once in a while that causes delays in shipping (3-5 day turnaournd instead of 1-2) but recently they have been rocking. Mail with watched movie goes out at 11AM on Monday, new movie shows at 11 on Wednesday.
