Video stores can't make money off indies and foreign films, so they don't stock them. The public libraries were our last best hopes until Netflix came into being, but their collections often lack b-movies and new release films.<br /><br />Cable is a problem in the midwest and rural areas. Non-compete agreements between companies result in monopolies that artificially elevate the prices. We actually own set-top antennae and watch broadcast tv.<br /><br />Our Roku streams great BBC series like the IT crowd into our lives at bargain rates.<br /><br />With a preschooler in the house, it's nice to know 2 seasons of Blue's Clues are available on demand and there aren't discs to scratch, lose, or store.<br /><br />Mail delays? Botched orders? We haven't experienced either in 2 years of service. Missing discs can be reported and another is dispatched the following day. Waiting 1 day for a disc to get to Netflix then another day for the new disc to arrive is nothing for people who waited months for their library to acquire the item or a week Amazon to deliver it (after purchase) for free.adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068165000960928380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700163.post-50797462014219805092009-08-08T15:18:27.194-04:002009-08-08T15:18:27.194-04:00Apparently this critic isn't high enough on th...Apparently this critic isn't high enough on the "Watch Instantly" feature on Netflix to bother mentioning that, or perhaps he's ignoring that because it undermines his key argument. For about a hundred bucks, you can get the Netflix player and watch whatever from their growing list of Instant choices.<br /><br />The market is showing every indication that we are moving away from physical media and toward intangible digital delivery of home entertainment. <br /><br />And I never met a video store jockey who didn't act like a condescending douche to people.
