Quit? I just checked over my records for 2005. I averaged
about 12 DVDs a month with me normally returning them the
day after I received them. That's a week (or more) turnaround
time, which is ridiculous. They are obviously just sitting on them.
Also, that is about $1.65 per DVD. At the local Movie Gallery,
the listed cost of a rental is about $3.80, but I use a discount
card which brings that cost down to about $3 or less, plus
I can use rent-1-get-1-rental-free coupons twice a month,
plus on Fri-Sun, they give another free rental from their older
(but in the last 5 years or so) section. So the other day I got
3 movies for $3 -- just $1 each, and 2 of the 3 I got to keep
for 5 days rather than making a 1-day turnaround. Plus for
every 10 movies for which I actually pay, I get another one
free. All that makes NF cost over 2/3rds *more* than MG.
The *only* reason I subscribe to NF is for some TV series
I'm still completing. Sadly, MG doesn't get a lot of TV series.
