Goodbye Comcast Hello Netflix

We’re cancelling our Comcast cable package (actually we are keeping the $7 a month basic package) because they are charging us twice what we were originally told they would charge us. So now we have signed up for Netflix.com which will be nice because we rent a lot of movies, and this way we can just pay a flat $20 a month and get all we want.

I signed up last night and rated a couple hundred movies… One thing that I found odd is that the “new releases” section shows some pretty old movies like Equilibrium as being new even though it was released a month or two ago. My wife wanted to see Final Destination 2 however, which was released yesterday, so I searched for it and it came up as rentable, even though it wasn’t shown in the new releases. Perhaps they do that to keep down the rush when a new movie comes out? I don’t know. But it said it was available to ship and that it would be shipped today, so hopefully everything will go as planned.

Also since I’m now a Netflix customer, I can now use the MTNetflix plugin to show all of you what movies I am currently renting, isn’t that interesting? Probably not… but I’m going to install it anyway.

This looks great…thanks for the advice I just switched over to netflix yesterday!
