I've been thinking about adding Netflix for some time. I know most of the pros to the service, but I had a question about payment options.
Does the payment withdraw from your account automatically? Or can you set it up to have it billed monthly and you pay it manually?

The billing is all automatic. I don't believe manual billing is an option.

My payments are put on my credit card automatically every month, and a I took a quick look at lunch and didn't see an option to stop the automatic payments and pay manually...

I've been a member for a little over a year now. The one thing I don't like is the fact that movies are usually released about a month behind schedule. Why is this?

Conspiracy. Only logical explanation.

Yep. Conspiracy by the cable companies to get you to buy the movie on demand rather than seeing it on Netflix.

The movie studios made an agreement with Netflix to let brick and mortar rental places(BlockBuster, etc) and retail stores get the DVDs on release date and Netflix and other online places a month later. Netflix gets more films for their streaming service out of the deal (which is why it's improved vastly in the past year or so).

Yeah Blockbuster has signed deals with most people to get movies 4 weeks in advance but, blockbuster might not be around to much longer because of redbox and netflix. Didn't netlflix also start allowing yuou to rent video games for the same price with their movie deal.

After a couple years of using Netflix the recommendations they give out are spot on. They haven't recommended any movies for me that I ended up not liking in several months now.

I love Netlfix.
The steaming feature is so much vastly improved over when I first started using Netflix about 1 1/2 years ago...
Streaming from the PS3 is GOAT, especially HD streams.

I love wes_mantooths torrents. He usually gets the dvdrips before they release to Netflix or Blockbuster.

Had it for a few months and love it. Am catching up on a ton of TV shows I hadn't seen and movies I missed in theatres. Greatest thing ever to stream it on the PS3

My bad it wasn't netflix it was blockbuster that added video games. Here an article talking about it, it also talks about blockbuster signing deals to rent movies for 28 days first. http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/blockbuster-adds-game-rentals-to-its-mail-service/

Just got my Netflix DVD to set up the live streaming through the Wii. This shit is awesome. Hopefully it doesnt take them too long to build up a huge library of instant watch movies.
