Here's what I've found to be a nearly foolproof way of getting new releases -
put them to the top of your queue and send one DVD per new release back on
Friday so that it'll be received by NF the Saturday before the Tuesday new
release date. If they receive it on Monday it usually works too, but is more of
a crapshoot. They usually start shipping the Tuesday releases on Monday - I
guess the distributors allow this, since nobody will be receiving the flick
until the release date. Miss the release date, and you'll have to wait. It may
not work for more than two new releases per week.
