Goodbye, Netflix.
Well, a few minutes ago, I parted ways with Netflix.
Not because the service was bad, or anything like that — hell, Netflix is an awesome service. The past year or so, I just wasn’t using the service. I was seeing $20/mo being wasted on three movies that hung around my desk for several months, unwatched and some even unopened.
So, I figured why not save the twenty bucks a month. Well, kind of.
Instead, Comcast was offering the whole HBO HD package for six bucks a month for twelve months — how could I resist an offer quite like that? So, in all, I’m saving fourteen bucks a month. I’ll take it!
Next on the list to save some money? Get Brian to let me set up my own server on the network so that I don’t have to fork out another twenty bucks a month for ghetto web hosting. Cough, cough, Brian, ahem.
I calculated it once, and since first subscribing to netflix almost two years ago, we’ve watched enough movies where the cost is about $1.50 per movie. The trick is to watch ‘em the same night you receive them and send the suckers back immediately. If you’ve got enough time it works wonderfully.
Thanks for the linkage, will reciprocate.
Oh yeah. When I was using the service, I took advantage of it and definitely got my moneys worth. But that was back before I had a full time job and actually had the time to watch a shitload of movies daily.
