Amber Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We are going to get Netflix and I was wondernig which plan do you feel is the best? Thanks, Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We have the 4 at a time unlimited plan. I then have a profile for myself, dh, oldest ds and dd. This way we each get a movie off our list and we don't have to make the kids send there's back right away. They are 9 and 6.75 so they like to keep their movies for a week or so. When dh is on deployment I either take his movie for myself if there's a lot I'd like to see or get something for my 3 year old. We've been on this plan for about 3 years now and it's wonderful. We've watched so many things and my kids love getting "mail" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shenan Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We are going to get Netflix and I was wondernig which plan do you feel is the best?Thanks, Amber I think the 3 out at a time plan is the best value. Of course, this depends on what your families TV style is. This fits our family of 8 very well. We always seem to have a movie handy when it comes to our family TV nights together. I have a relative who does the 1 out at a time plan. But's its just him, he rarely has time to watch TV, and he says that plan fits him just right.

Amber Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thank you for the advice. I've got to decide how much time I want the kids to spend watching movies now. Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in IN Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We just got this. We are on the 8.99/ one at a time, unlimited instant watching plan. So far it's worked okay, because there are quite a few options for the kids online. But eventually we may go to the 2 at a time option, so the kids can have one and dh can have one. I rarely watch movies. I get movies from the library that I really want to see, but then never watch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabola Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We do 2 at a time, unlimited. We get one for the kids, one for us. Its about 15 or 16 per month. I thought about upping it to 3 at a time, but I don't know that I want to spend that much time in front of the tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraciWA Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We do the 3 at a time plan. It's nice because we can get one for Dh, me, and the kids.:lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2GirlsTX Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We do 3 at a time, but we could certainly just go with 2 at a time given the instant view feature. My kids love alot of the instant view stuff so they watch that at least once a week. I will probably switch back to the 2 plan (you can go back and forth, they just prorate the charge) when we resume schooling in a couple of weeks.

sdWTMer Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We get the 3 at a time one and we absolutely love it! You know what else is cool. I still have to get them my credit card number, but I can purchase the gift card every month at Target. I like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie in AR Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We have the 3 at-a-time (unlimited) plan. With 6 people in our home, it works out just about right for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book Crazy Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We have the 4 at a time plan. Ds has his own list, with one movie and I have 3 on my list. Ds gets cartoon shows or movies that just he likes. I try to get one family move and a Masterpiece Theater program with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_parkin Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 we have 4 at a time, and have really had our monies worth. my dh used to BUY!! EVERY DVD he wanted to see. Other than a couple of special ones, and Disney movies he hasn't bought any since we started netflix 2 years ago. -rebecca- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We've had the 3 at a time unlimited here for years, and we're very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We are at 4 unlimited right now, but change often per time of year. If I'm showing a number of films for school, we might go up to 6 or more. You can change your level easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Am I really the greediest one here? We have the 6 at a time plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathmom Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We have the one at a time plan. It's worked well so far for our family. Oldest ds watches some online and I have watched a couple things online. I agree that Netflix makes actually buying DVDs almost obsolete unless it's something you really love and will want to watch over and over. I love being able to get all sorts of movies I couldn't get from the library or rental stores, like German movies and obscure things. I plan to get Cirque du Soleil and the Sister Wendy art series soon. I gave my sister a gift subscription for 3 months for her birthday. She loves it too. She is a widow and this way she can always have something on hand to watch when she has a chance. At some point I would like to upgrade to 2 at a time but money is an issue. I wouldn't want to try to keep track of 6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
