You may recall that we posted about Netflix’s offering of free movie downloads last week, so what we have now is a very broad spectrum with the free Netflix movies on one end, and Wal-Mart’s movies on the other.

It was a dead heat after one week so I kept ordering. The next week again, they delivered the movies at the same time. So, at the end of the day, I dont know which is better. What I do know is now I have a crapload of movies at my house that I will never get around to watching....Thanks voodoo!!! I took your advice and tried both services.

We did the same thing after all the buzz about Blockbuster. We put our Netflix account on hold and gave Blockbuster a shot. The movies came quick, we watched them, and wanted to tryout returning them at the store for 3 more. A few days later we got a phone call from the store reminding us to return them! Yeh, we forgot and got stuck with the restocking fee. I don't like going to the store, we're switching back! Thanks for the heads up on this.

I hope you didn't bury the lead because people will find this fascinating about the secret 10k a day. Maybe you should bold that "How To" paragraph because it is pay dirt for anyone wanting this feature now. Like me! bk This is some amazing sleuthing!

Van, thanks for the comment, I guess the Watch Now option makes tons of sense when the US mail isn't exactly overnight delivery. Glad you got in Dave, I’m interested to see what you think.

One of the things that I really miss here is access to a large selection of movies. Granted, I could have NetFlix movies sent to our U.S. forwarding address but the turnaround time is really slow so doesn't really make it worth the cost. I myself have a macmini hooked up to my tv with broadband access so this definitely sounds like a service worth checking out. I hope it supports Mac :) I can already imagine myself 20 years from now explaining to some young teenager how we used to have to go to a video rental store to get movies. How primitive.
