Agree with everything you said. The only problem I have is Netflix will
continue to ship out damaged discs. I think they should test every disc for
playability before shipping it out. It's quite annoying, I get 1 bad disc in
7.

You may be right but I haven't had a bad DVD from Netflix yet. However, I
did get a couple of bad ones from Blockbuster. In addition, Blockbuster
seems to have a tendency to ship duplicates. You put a movie in your
queue and they ship you two copies - which slows down your queue even
further.

There was a period w/ netflix where >20% of their DVDs were cracked,
gouged, or otherwise unplayable. It seems they've gotten a handle on
whatever their problem was. I haven't had a cracked DVD in at least 9
months.
