They have one of these movie vending machines inside Wal-Mart stores a lot. When you're done doing your shopping you can rent a movie for $1. Bring it back, and get something else on your next trip to the store. I'm wanting them to start renting video games this way! If they do I'll be sure to be a regular costumer.

If you think Netflix is such a great value, I'm sure you'd be willing to buy her a gift subscription. Are people really trying to tell this woman how to spend HER money?

OTOH, this time of year is big for videos for us, so I can't imagine dropping it completely, especially with instant play. I love instant play. :) We just went from 5-at-a-time to 3-at-a-time; we don’t have any sort of regular TV, so Netflix has been our source of video entertainment (along with the library!) — but we’ve been so busy lately that the discs just pile up on top of the TV.
