  - This was us. We'll just drop the 1 DVD out option and save $2 instead. - JaxSean Jul 13, 18:32

    - We stream ~60 hours/month and get ~1 disc per month. - psilotum Jul 13, 18:07
- Huh? It's a big deal. -- nm - nubby Jul 13, 17:58 4
  - To some of us it's more amusing. - the liioulu with Jul 13, 17:59 3
    - you know what - I bet that's it - I signed up for the free month - watched *one* movie - it was one of Dano's picks for ST movie (not the reason I - JenBro Jul 13, 18:08 2
      - Did you know that we came from a game about movies? -- nm - psilotum Jul 13, 18:10 1
        
        yep - point duly noted - my bad everyone -- nm - JenBro Jul 13, 18:13
- I truly don't get what you find so amusing about this. -- nm - kelly Jul 13, 17:57 13
  - I think maybe she forgot how most of us met eachother online. buncha movie geeks talking about a movie service a lot shouldn't be unexpected. -- nm - b. Jul 13, 18:05 11
    - yep - as noted above - didn't realize it was used/liked so much - JenBro Jul 13, 18:12 10

        you are! there's so much on there, you don't need cable tv! - colin Jul 13, 18:21 2
        
        oh agreed - there's a ton out there when I looked at it last ... February maybe? -- it was almost over whelming for me. -- nm - JenBro Jul 13, 18:24
        
        ugh. not everyone wants to watch everything that way. there's nothing wrong with making different choices. -- nm - b. Jul 13, 18:23
        
        boo him! no berating allowed over that. -- nm - b. Jul 13, 18:21 2
