not sure if there's anything comparable up north, but I've enrolled with netflix. we'll see how it works. you pay a flat rate of $20 a month, and you can rent as many dvds as you want through the mail. you can have up to three out at a time, and when you return one they ship another out. all postage is prepaid and everything, so it sounds like an interesting deal. if you can watch the movies and return them within a day, you can actually end up renting a lot of movies for around a buck a day. they don't have much of the really obscure stuff, but they do have damn near everything you'd find at your typical blockbuster type rental place, and then a little extra.

the downside is you don't get much time to watch them. sure, you can hold onto them as long as you like (no late fees), but you don't get any more until you return them. to make it economically viable, I imagine you'd need a turnaround of 48 hours or less per flick (plus the 1-3 days for postage each way).

anyway, we'll see how it works. I've got 58 movies queued up and ready to go. I'll be enjoying my hermitage by watching a shitload of movies, it would appear.
