Netflix never has been popular with kids in my age group 18-22. However I’ve grown to love Netflix over the years.
I was introduced to Netflix when my brother and I use to live together. The actual experience of having DVDs delivered through the mail was extremely convenient. This was when we still had dial-up internet access. My brother moved and I decided to nab a Netflix subscription of my own.
A lot of people my age usually download their movies illegally or go to a movie theater to watch their movies. Some actually buy their DVDs to watch… say once. There are a couple problems with this, for one, ethics aside, quality varies when you’re downloading illegally. Choices are limited too when choosing the illegal route. Netflix recently recommended Scent of a Woman and I loved it. That’s definitely one of those movies you’d have rather a difficult time finding available for download.
Going to the movies? Eh, it’s never been my thing. Watching movies at an actual movie theater has always been more about hanging out with friends than watching a movie none the less. The price gouging ($10/ticket) hits the wallet pretty hard too.
Here’s where Netflix comes in as a cheap source of entertainment. I rent at least 12 movies a month on my 3 dvds out at a time plan. The current price of the plan is $16.99 divided by 12 and that’s $1.42 per rental. Talk about cheap!
