After having Netflix for over a year, I finally dropped it.  In that time, three movies that were returned never made it back to NetFlix.  The second problem was we’re just not watching them nightly.  I.E. I’d get a movie in the mail and it would sit for a week before we’d get around to watching it.

Roll the clock forward and I’ve decided to try out the RedBox.  It’s $1 per movie per night.  That said, I was paying almost $20 to NetFlix to have 3 movies out at a time.  I don’t think that in any month we received 15 movies so it seems that the RedBox solution is cheaper.  NetFlix has a huge selection of movies.  RedBox is very limited to very current films (maybe 100 or so).  I’m going to guess that a hybrid solution, I.E. getting a limited NetFlix like plan for say $5 per month allowing for one movie out at a time and use RedBox is the right mix.
