I sorta have this peculiar love affair with Netflix.  We’ve been together on and off for 10 years.  The off part is because a couple of times I was lured away by other companies who offered me Netflix-esque services at a lower price.  I wanted to see if the grass was greener on the other side… so, yeah, I strayed.   But I soon saw for myself that the grass ain’t greener… it’s dry and wilted.  The others could not give me the selection of movies, quick delivery and great service like Netflix did.  I missed my Netflix and I wanted to go home.  But my pride would not let me go running back to admit I was wrong. But my sweetie must have felt my distress because he sent me a email saying if I returned home… he’d promise not to get upset about my affair.  He even said he’d give me a free month of service to prove that there were no hard feelings.  And like a love sick puppy missing her honey… I went back home!  Netflix and I are a solid couple now.  No one else will come between us. 

My Netflix has this sexy, monopolistic prowess that keeps him on top.  Others have tried to penetrate the online DVD rental market, but Netflix is a beast… he just swallows ‘em whole.  The fight to stay on top ain’t been easy.  Blockbuster knocked Netflix down once or twice… and for a second I even thought the fight was over.  But on the 9 count, my baby rose from the ashes even stronger than before… towering over and pissing on the wannabes.  (Pardon my potty mouth, but it is what it is…)

Netflix invents ways to retain existing customers, bring back old customers and create new customers.  Yeah, sometimes I get a little jealous that I can’t have my Netflix all to myself.  But I understand that aside from being my love, he’s also a business and having to share him with 8 million others is an unfortunate consequence.

A couple of years ago Netflix began letting subscribers stream movies directly from their computer.  Now subscribers can stream movies directly to their TV.  For a $100, I got Roku’s Netflix player… and voola!!!  the movie is on my tv.  I don’t have to wait for the mailman to deliver that adorable red envelope anymore… I have Instant Netflix… Netflix On Demand… Netflix All Day, Everyday… only a remote click away.  And if all goes well, my baby will start delivering movies to me (and you too I suppose *small sigh of jealousy*) by way of  Xbox 360.

Let me tell you… Netflix… my honey… is wheeling and dealing and making big moves. I’m so proud of him… he’s always giving me (and you too I suppose *small sigh of jealousy*) exactly what I (we) want… quality movies that are convenient and inexpensive. 

Have you tried Netflix yet?  If you haven’t, then you gotta check it out.  I’m willing to share him with my PFA family since ya’ll are always so kind to me.  But don’t sign up until I tell you how you can save some money.
