Astorothe Amarr Aperture Science Industries	Posted - 2007.11.07 02:30:00 - [1] I thought I would give these guys a go as I was getting to lazy to remember to take back my weekly dvds to the store. We tried them for 3 months - and then cancelled promptly. First of all, their "New releases" category is quite different to what you would see at your local DVD store. By New Release they actually mean "newley released on their dvd catalogue" which means a lot of them are actually very old movies 2005, 2004, etc. So when your trying to browse for a new release, you get one or two and loads of other junk youve already seen. Secondly, you only get movies sent to you from your top queue items in the first month (to draw you in). After that you rarely get anything above number 10 because they simply do not have enough DVDs to let everyone get their choice. They say to keep your list with at least 20 movies in it at all times - but could you even go to a movie store and pick 20 new movies you would want to watch?? I doubt it. Thirdly, delivery times are long. If you watch your movies over the weekend, send them back on Monday, you will likely only get your replacement movies on Thursday or Friday. That means your in a weekly cycle. On that note, I find it easier to just go to my local dvd store once a week. I would NOT recommend this to anyone. And my DVD store is happy to see me back and asked how my holiday overseas went... (I didnt want to hurt their feelings :) ) Perth players - join channel ApSci \| Web design for Eve Corps

Astorothe Amarr Aperture Science Industries	Posted - 2007.11.08 02:20:00 - [3] I just received the last three DVDs from Quickflix after cancelling earlier in the week - looks like they are trying to have me reconsider because after months of getting everything on the lower end of my queue - I finally was sent the top 3! =] I'll watch them and return them with a "nice try". Good riddance. Perth players join channel PerthChat \| Web design for Eve Corps
Shalia Ripper Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.11.08 05:34:00 - [4] Is this some crappy version of Netflix?
Astorothe Amarr Aperture Science Industries	Posted - 2007.11.08 05:35:00 - [5] Yep. You'll be glad to know just as crappy. Perth players join channel PerthChat \| Web design for Eve Corps
SoftRevolution	Posted - 2007.11.08 05:58:00 - [6] I tried Amazon's version of the same but I gave up with it eventually because they'd forever send me TV shows out of sequence.
Shalia Ripper Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.11.08 06:41:00 - [7] Originally by: Astorothe Yep. You'll be glad to know just as crappy. Bummer. Netflix has been good to me. However, I want to slay all other netflix users for mangling EVERY FRIKKING DISK.

(I didnt want to hurt their feelings :) ) I use to have the same problem with Rogers Video direct when it came to sending my more "desired" movies, and the problem was very simple to fix. In the options, you will more than likely see this off-to-the-side box that says, "Send based on order of ranking" or "Send based on availability(Default)". Of course there is more crap filler movies available, thus you get all the crap movies first. I've gotten more new release DVDs in the last month than I have in the remaining months since I signed up in February.
