Netflix

[Obdurate]

I feel dumb but I've heard about Netflix for a while now and I don't really know what it is, so I got some questions.

Can I get it in Canada?
Is it just a dvd delivery thing or can I stream movies online (I have a download limit where I'm living too so I don't want to have to download movies or anything big... a one time download of something is okay)? I'm interested in streaming the movies.

And most importantly... does it have a good selection?

I'm not sure about Canada- check Netflix Online Movie Rentals - Rent DVDs, Classic Films to DVD New Releases for that information
If you subscribe to the DVD delivery, you can also use the streaming feature online- no download required. Not all movies are available online yet. It's a rather recent feature.
There is an extremely large selection. The only time something has not been available for me was it was a new release. It is generally available after the first week or two from release. This has only happened once or twice to very popular demand movies.

Thank ya. I get the feeling that this is just U.S. only but I hope I'm wrong...

:dunno

 

[Obdurate]

Yeah it appears it's U.S. only. Damn you Americans!

So I guess I got a new question. Does anybody know any good netflix sites but for Canada? I'd like a place that has more than just the popular movies.

Thanks Grace. I'll check 'er out.

I'm thanking you so much that I should really find a way to just constantly do it... ah-ha, I got an idea.

Thanks Grace.

No, it was my pleasure. Glad I could be of help.

I use netflix and I like it.

 

[Obdurate]

Yeah, well, now I'm trying out zip.ca. Over 72,000 movies. Good selection. I'm sure Netflix is better but since I'm one of those damn Canucks I can't use it.

Yeah it appears it's U.S. only. Damn you Americans!

With Netflix, I was getting a large percentage of poorly playing DVDs so I ended up switching to Blockbuster.com. So far I've got much better results. You got that there?

 

[Obdurate]

Well we have a blockbuster so we probably have the online service here.
