How does Netflix work?

Netflix is an online DVD rental service with a very simple program:

1. Members signup and choose their DVD movie titles.
2. Netflix sends the movies to the member in the US mail, postage paid.
3. The member watches the movie and then returns it to Netflix and receives the next DVD movie on their Queue.

The signup process is relatively painless - and requires a credit card as a means of a security deposit for the DVDs - similar to any local video store. The fun part is selecting all the movies you have been wanting to see - from the new releases on DVD to older classics and everything in between.

The Netflix site has several features that make the service easy to use, such as movie recommendations based on the user's ratings of other movies, movie reviews from users and well-known critics, and a very sophisticated system of presenting users with movies that they are most likely to enjoy watching. There is also the ability to 'SAVE' movies in your Queue that have been released in the theaters, but have yet to be distributed on DVD.

And when it comes time to cancel your subscription, that is easy as well, with no hard sell to keep you as a member. In fact, a lot of Netflix users who do cancel their subscription go back and signup again at a later time.

Netflix has also opened serveral distribution warehouses around the country to make the turnaround time minimal for members, therefore allowing users the opportunity to watch more movies for the cost of their subscription.
