Netflix: I Couldn't Stay Away
Well, a few weeks ago I canceled my long-running (four-plus years) Netflix subscription. I lasted about three weeks without it.
Too often I come across a movie review or a friend recommends a movie and, what do I do? You guessed it. I add it to my Netflix queue. But when I left Netflix my wonderful queue was no more. The thought of actually walking into a video store to, gasp, rent a movie only to have to make a return trip in a few days actually turned my stomach... how 1980s.
Good news.
Not only was Netflix kind enough to forgive me and welcome me back with open arms, but the service also retained my queue. Netflix has always exceeded my expectations, what with its ability to deliver DVDs to my door in postage-paid return envelopes, its wide assortment of movies, and its groundbreaking Friends and Recommendations features. Remembering my queue after I recklessly unsubscribed cements the relationship long term.
I've always enjoyed the service. It's just I've been really busy and haven't had time to watch three or four movies a month. However, I discovered the $5.99 deal that enables my family to rent two movies a month, basically, without having to make a trip farther than our mailbox. That's a pretty good deal.
Netflix, it's good to know ya. I promise never to stray again.
