Netflix

It's rare, these days, to buy something that's as good or better than advertised. That being said, I'm forced to give two thumbs way up to Netflix. If you spend enough time on the internet, you've prolly seen Netflix advertisements. If you're a movie fan, it's worth the click.

For those who don't know, Netflix is like a video store. Except you don't need to drive to pick out the movie. And you don't need to drive to return it. It all happens through the mail. You sign up. You put all the movies you want to see on a list. Then they start coming. When you send a movie back, they send you the next flick on your list. And it's fast! There's usually only 1 day in between sending and receiving.

What about the price? The price is very fair, especially if you watch a lot of movies (or want to, but haven't been able to afford it). There are various plans based on how many movies you want to be able to have at a time and per month. For my family, I figured the best plan was this: 2 movies at a time, and an unlimited amount of movies per month. The price? $14.99. Technically, we have enough time to get 30 movies/month, which is only 50 cents/movie. But even if you only watch 5 movies/month it's only $3/movie.

Sounds super cool but it would never work in Canada.
