GreenCine or Netflix?

[Garrett]

I'm thinking of trying one of those online rental services. I'm looking for opinions on both GreenCine and Netflix.

Don't bother with this stuff, just go drive or walk to a nearby video store. But if you don't have one near you, I suggest Netflix...

Why? Isn't it a bit more convenient...I thought you paid like 30 a month and you got as many rentals as you'd possibly want?

Anyone?

I haven't heard of GreenCine, but I subscribed to Netflix for some time and I really liked it. The selection is much better than your local video store and it turns out cheaper if you watch alot of movies. If you like alternative movies or foreign movies then Netflix is also a good choice.

I use Netflix, not familiar with GreenCine.

I like Netflix.

There selection is good and gets better every day.

There are two major problems with their system.

Number one, the condition of the DVD's.

I expect some minor flaws on the disk, but one I received was cracked in half.

A good percentage of the disks will have the picture freeze.

Netflix is really good about getting a replacement promptly.

Number two, the U.S. Postal Service.

I never received a copy of City Of God, I assume the postman stuck it in the wrong mail slot.

Netflix assumed I lost it, if it happens enough times, they charge you for the disk.
