"My family loves Blockbuster. The kids need their videogames, and me and my husband watch movies incessantly. That's why an unlimited plan works well for us... at any one time, we have out our entire queue of 3 movies or games. Since we live near a distribution center, we can mail our movies back and get the next movies in the queue within 3 days or less. That's quick!"
"On the rare occasions when we can't wait, we can use our 2 free instore rentals. Though I'm lazy and never do it, my husband drives by Blockbuster on the way to work so he can pick those up when I ask him to. The wait may be a negative factor for some, but 3 days is not a long wait - and if you can't wait 3 days, you probably need to find more things to do."
"It's also cheap! $9.99 a month? I waste much more on junk food and soda for the kids, so I can always cut a little back from our junk food fund every month and spend it on some good family entertainment."

"I go to GWU. I spend so much time studying, and when I'm not studying, I'm hitting up a bar or some frat party. But sometimes, I like to stay in and watch movies with my girlfriend or some buddies. I like Netflix, because it can make room for my on-the-fly schedule. I hate going in-store, so I can just order it online, get it in a couple days, and it's there for whenever I need to use it next."
"I make $6 an hour working for some professor, and I really need to watch what I spend. Spending $9.99 a month on movies is manageable - and I don't feel bad about using that money, unlike blowing a paycheck on booze and waking up with a hangover and many regrets."
"I don't play videogames, so it don't matter to me that Netflix doesn't provide them. Besides, I can rent and watch movies I'm embarrassed about watching with other people - no, not those kinds of movies - without anyone else knowing. Netflix hasn't told anyone that I love watching Sex in the City..."
