I posted about Netflix early last week. So this is an update. We have had Netflix now for TWO weeks. Our free trial ends in another two weeks. Here is a list of the movies we have viewed in the first 2 weeks alone:
Using our Wii:(instant movies)
The Proposal
Honey I blew up the kids
Dennis the Menace (1&2)
Barney- a few
Thomas the Tank – a few
Godzilla
Getting there (mary kate & ashley)
The Messenger
Traitor
Six Degrees of Separation
Osmosis Jones
Richie Rich
Scoobie Doo
Jim Gaffigan – Beyond the Pale
DVDs Mailed to us:**
Sherlock Holmes
Brothers
Shutter Island
**We could have received more than this, but we were kept busy with the Wii ones, so we didn’t even need the ones by mail! **
I have to say we do not usually watch this much TV, but it has been SO HOT outside, that parks, and going outside even swimming is unbearable. We can only go to the Library so many times-lol. I’ve been letting the kids watch about one movie or show every other day or so. And hubby and I have enjoyed a few after the kids are in bed too. Im definitely continuing after our FREE TRIAL is over. We have surpassed what we would pay normally even at the Redbox/Blockbuster Express!! All the free popcorn has really come in handy too!
Netflix is still offering a 2wk FREE TRIAL, then if you want to continue, you can choose a package. I chose unlimited on-demand movies + the newer releases by mail (one at a time)-but they are really fast with shipping them. My package is only $8.99!

We are at the end of our second week as well and have really enjoyed our free 2 week trial. I have been letting the kids watch more movies then normal just so we could make the trial worth our time and effort. Then the hubby and I have watched a few ourselves after the kiddos have gone to bed. One movie I would recommend is Hachi: Tale of a Dog if you have not seen it. REALLY good movie. I love how quick the turn around rate is on the movies that are mailed. I think we are also going to go for the $8.99 package, at least to get us through the summer months and then rethink it when the kids are back in school and the TV barely ever gets turned on. Thanks for the heads-up on the free trial, again we have really enjoyed it.
I’ve been a Netflix member since ’05 and I love it! With the advent of streaming through the Wii and PS3, I’ve only kept the 1-disc at a time plan and both queues stay full.
Glad you like it.
We got Netflix about 3 mos. ago & we love it! It has more than paid for itself. We have a Wii & an XBox 360 that we can get the movies on. Well worth it.
Please tell me how you hook up to the Wii or XBox 360. How are the graphics? Is the Wii remote a big deal (i hate that remote!)? Thanks! Teri Su
We use it on our Wii. They will mail you a disk to put in the Wii, We got ours FAST, 48hrs I believe.
It was SO EASY! The graphics are great. No issues here.
The Wii remote is needed. You select the movie using the remote.
