If you have plenty of older releases in your que that you are really
interested
in seeing then I would say that Netflix should be a good deal for you.

I quit renting with Netflix because the newer releases were not readily
available
and I was renting a lot of older releases I really didn't care about
just to have
something in my que.

If it was a case of waiting 2 or 3 weeks to receive new releases from
Netflix,
I would still be renting from them. I had newer releases on the top of
my que
for months with no luck.

There are plenty of older movies that are really worth seeing. In my
case I already
own them or have already seen them many, many, times.
