money. details at their site. you can even opt for 5 or 6 discs at a
time (helpful since we're currently embroiled in day 2 of 24)
Also, consider this. We have it set up so that we share netflix with our
neighbors; we made an agreement at the beginning that basically said,
start filling the queue, don't change the order unless you ask first.
then when the movies come, we share them out. $10 a month. less if we
bring in our other neighbors (who are currently on a 6 month free
trial). defintately worth the money.
By comparison: Hollywood Video: ~$4 for five days, late fee is assessed
at the same rate, so if you're late you might as well keep it for
another five days...Games are different tho' ~$6 for for five days, but
late fees are assessed daily so basically a buck a day for every day over.
