Frankly I don't mind if they give me the"short wait" or the "long
wait" for a dvd I want. At least you have some control there.
If I don't like it I just I just move it to the bottom of my queue
till it becomes available. It's when the disks constantly go "missing"
when you return them and you can't report it for 6 days that annoys
me .
I guess for some of you it's still worth while no matter what they
do. I can understand that with some people who have to pay $3.75 and
up for a local rental or live out of town, even being cut back to 7-9
movies on the 3 at a time plan a month seems like a good deal.
But holding movies back to slow your queue on "unlimited" rentals is
at least dishonest and maybe fraud.
I am buying a FTA satellite this month and giving up on rentals.
