Interesting Statistics

Hey,
I was doing a little calculating today, but first let me give you a little background.....

I've been with Netflix since November of 2005. Since then they have billed us $1,093.89. Wow!!! At first that looks like a huge amount of money so I went back and with a little help from Excel, calculated how many movies that we've had from them. That number came to 676. (That's a lot of movies!!!)

So if you do a little division with those numbers it turns out that the avg. per cost rental for us comes to $1.62. Pretty good since before Nov. 2005 I was paying $4 plus tax for each rental.

If I would have paid $4 per rental for 652 movies it would have been $2,704 + tax + burned up gas.... so we've saved a good bit ($1610.11) over the last 3 years. Nice.

It's nice to have the movies show up in your mailbox (even though sometimes the are damaged)
It's nice to have a queue that you can arrange online.
It's nice to be able to watch movies online from a computer when you don't have one at home at the time.
It's nice to save so much money.
It's nice that they carry Blu-Ray discs

They have a free trial period, why don't you try it out. We currently get the 5 at a time plan @ $31.79/month (which we've been considering lowering back to 3 since we watch so much) but they have several plans that you can adjust to fit your watching schedule... If you're into movies like me.
