I'll be reading about them. I can't say I have much desire to see them. I'm just renting the bonus disc from Netflix.

It is a good system, though I would use it to watch....Star Trek shows since you can get just the 3 maximum discs from any collection Netflix has, correct Bossk?

Probably, that is my kind of idea, watch mainly TV shows that have hit DVD.

The basic membership is 3 DVDs at any one time for US$21.99 (just went up $2 recently). But you can switch to a 6 DVD subscription as well. But I'm not sure what the price is. I now have Master & Commander and Kill Bill vol 1 coming to me in the mail (sent today). You can send them back in any order or spread them out. So if you want to pay the cheap rate, get 3 discs from a 6 disc set now, watch 1 and send it back, then watch the second while waiting for your next disc, etc. See where I'm going? It can be done. I've got the Futurama sets in my queue along with Band of Brothers and Gilmore Girls for my wife.

queue? Do you have to wait for certain titles or do you just make a big list for them by want so when you send something back you don't have to say what you want back?

You set up a list of movies you want in Netflix so that when you send one back, they know what to send out in its place. Your queue can be as long as you want it to be (get your head out of the gutter) and you can add movies, delete them, and reorder the list anytime you want. If you make a request for a movie that's not available yet (not released), it will list them with a disclaimer that it won't be available until such and such date. If a release date has not been announced, you add it to a different queue that lists all those you want to add when they are announced. When announced, they are added to your queue. It's really quite handy.

Your guess is as good as mine with all that would be needed and considering I don't even know how their operation works in the first place? no clue.
