Biggest Movie Selection: Netflix has over 100,000 movies, Blockbuster Online has just 80,000. An average video store has about 15,000 titles, a big box rental store tops out at 40,000, and a Redbox kiosk only has about 70-100 movies.
No Late Fees: Never get charged a late fee - ever.
Free Trial: Netflix has a cool business model - they want to earn your business before charging you for it. You can try their service free for 2 weeks; if you like it, Netflix hopes you will continue on - if not, simply cancel your account before the 2 week trial ends and you owe nothing. Canceling is easy, just log in and select "cancel account". Starting a free trial takes less than 3 minutes. Start Your Free Trial: Click Here.
Free Online Movies + Unlimited Viewing:
Netflix made the online system very easy to use, it takes just 30 seconds to set up, and you can choose from over 17,000 movies to watch - all available instantly. Image quality is the best online. High Speed Internet required - works with both PC and Mac. All Unlimited plans include unlimited online movies.
Price: Netflix plans start as low as $4.99 per month and average $1.73 per DVD rental via the mail. Stores like Blockbuster, Hollywood, and Movie Gallery are all over $4 per DVD rental. And Netflix delivers the movies. For a complete list of Netflix plans, click here or just visit www.Netflix.com.
Fast Delivery: Netflix has 47 shipping centers which means that over 95% of the US can get a movie delivered in 1 postal day. Netflix mails a movie on Monday, you get it on Tuesday; mailing it back takes just one day too. The other DVD rental guys have only 23 shipping centers, so it takes them 2 postal days each way, which makes Netflix the fastest to and from your door with a movie.
Unedited Movies: All of the movies Netflix rents are unedited. Blockbuster did edit movies in the past but now claim they no longer do; some people debate whether Blockbuster really stopped editing the movies they rent.
Family Friendly: If you have kids, you can create a log-in for them so they can order movies too. You can also set viewing limits for the kids, blocking access to certain types of movies (for example those rated PG-13 or R). You can even edit their movie choices - just log in and make changes to the kid's movie queue.
Friends: Friends on Netflix can connect with other friends on Netflix, this is really practical as it helps with movie selections - if your friend watches a great movie they can easily send you a note to your Netflix account recommending it. The best movie recommendations come from your friends.
