For the time being, none.
Getting no rentals is better than waiting for NF to move a "very long wait"
disc to "long wait" to "short wait" to "shipping tomorrow" to "shipped" to
waiting 2 more days to actually receive it....it's easier on my psyche while
I pay about $20/mo. to not wait for something that may or may not ever come.
2/3 of my queue has not moved in over 3 weeks now....
