I mean, get from other libraries within your county/state system? We can down here, easily enough, at no extra cost.

There are two libraries in our county, but you have to have a separate card for each because they are in different towns. I odon't think they ship stuff back and forth.

Do you have netflicks? My wife wants to sign us up but I am hesitant. We only only have one movie rental place in the closest town (not including the library which has a pretty good selection and is free!) and she is dissatisfied with the selection available there.

tried Netflicks, what a load of C##p, went back to Blockbusters..we have Total Access for $23.00 a month, you can return movies in store for free rentals then they ship the next dvd out. Try the free trial on line.:)

I was considering it a while back but read some bad things, including the alleged "con" surrounding their "rent as often as you like" claim. I'd heard that the more frequently you send movies back the longer it takes to get the next one - a kind of negative prioritization built into their system. Also read their customer service was poo - faulty disk got sent back for replacement and the same one came back again - twice.

Did I read this on here somewhere? Will try to look up the source.

thats exactly what happened to us.........:curse:

but were very happy with blockbuster....as you don't have to mail them....you can just take them into the shop and trade them there and then...which is perfect for us...:thumbup:

Also, after a few months, Netflix started shipping me movies from Kansas City rather than the distribution center I know they have about ten miles from my house. They do that to lengthen shipping times and slow down your consumption. It's very annoying.

Anyway, it was good while I had it though.

Re: Netflicks

Netflix is a god send for us, they will ship to FPO. Good turn around on a movie is ten days for us, so we get a constant stream. It also means we don't have to deal with Middle East censorship issues.

I realise we're not in a normal situation but as a service, we've had no problems with it and as a facility it's bloody fantastic.

But what good is having 1,000 copies of _Driving Miss Daisy_? :rofl:

Oh, and _On Golden Pond_....
