Currently I'm bidding on ebay on a cheap used player. However, my research
about rentals shows that there is only one outfit that would allow me to
rent 8 flicks each time ( approximately 30+ flicks a month allowing for
turn-around time) for about 20 bucks a month----Gameznflix.com. Has anyone
heard about this outfit?



I have 3 day turn-around with Blockbuster.  Send them 3 DVDs on
Monday, I fet 3 back on Thursday.  (I can't watch them that fast - I
have a life - but it takes 3 days from the time I send them back till
I get the new ones.  Rip the new ones, send them back the next day,
etc., etc.)

Are you aware that when you "rip the new [DVDs]" what you are doing is illegal? When you make a DVD "rip" of a copyrighted DVD, you are violating Title 17, United States Code, Sections 501 and 506. This is criminal copyright infringement under federal law! And there are criminal and civil penalties for this, and it under the jurisdiction of the FBI. So I think you need to discontinue this. With Netflix you can keep a movie out for as long as you want, so there's no excuse for saying you "don't have the time" to watch them. And even if that's true, it doesn't justify making an illegal copy. This isn't like using your VCR to record a program so you can watch it later, this is stealing, and you need to think long and hard before you do it again.
