Maybe I'll try it and see what hapens. This week I got three titles that were all on my Medium Priority ranking (I have about 20 that are ranked High). I don't recall ever getting sent a DVD that was outside my Top 10 by Netflix.

[Just deleted all my Medium priority ones and made a list so I can add them later if I want. I now just have about 12 High Priority titles. Let's see what happens]

I wonder if this is something that happens when you have the multidisc option...we only have the 1 disc at a time option, and we have always got our number 1 choice without any delays. I didn't realize they did anything else!

IMO, they have very good service.

Said it before and I'll say it again - Netflix are the first company that comes to mind whenever anyone mentions customer service. They've got it spot on.

I was just in the US last week and switched the netflix shipping address from the place that forwards my mail outside the US to the hotel I was staying at. It was nice to get that quick delivery.

It takes me a while to send/receive. When I'm done watching them, I give them to people I know who fly over to the US and drop them back in the mail for me. If I can go through that much trouble to watch Dexter, surely you can wait 2 days for another disc, no?

I stream American Pickers, Family Guy, The Office, some National Geographic stuff, and a few other things and beam them wirelessly to a PS3 so I can watch them on the TV. I save King of Queens, NCIS, NCIS LA, Modern Marvels, Big Bang, and How I met your mother on the DVR.

Just stream it to your TV. There are Wi-Fi blueray players, roku boxes, PS3 and other devices. I stream wirelessly from my PC to the high def TV with a PS3. You can even use the remote control.

It's not like you can't watch something else while you are waiting for the disc and you may run out of things that are worth streaming. :)

Check out Hulu for lots of free streaming. I watched the Doogie Houser pilot episode the other day for some nostalgia. Most of it has short commercial interruptions.

Even the Wii can stream netflix these days, admittedly that wouldn't be in HD, but still pretty good.
