Netflix: Free 1 Month Trial (Or, in which, the Cherry family leaps in to the year 2009!)

Right now you can get a FREE one-month trial of Netflix!

(begin completely unsolicited review of the Netflix streaming package)

For years, it seemed like we were the only family who didn’t have Netflix. I would hear from “real-life” friends and family about their Netflix “queue” and I was convinced that we were the only ones without Netflix, but I didn’t really care. We had a great DirectTV account with HBO. I was in Heaven.

About 4 days ago, Brad asked me what I thought about getting Netflix because he heard that there was a free one-month trial. I basically said “Sure – whatever…as long as it doesn’t cost us anything”. And even if we messed up on canceling before the free month was up? It would only be an additional $8 for the 2nd month.

Well – within 4 days, I am ADDICTED to Netflix and the “streaming account”. With the touch of a button, I can watch the “campiest of movies from the 80s” as well as fairly recent movies. Last night we watched “Murder By Death” (an early 80s Neil Simon movie) and tonight we watched “The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons”. The kids love it for the plethora of movies, cartoons, series that are aimed at their age-group, etc.

I gotta tell you, now that we have Netflix, we will be canceling our HBO subscription as soon as the Big Love series finale airs (sorry – I AM seeing that series through to the finale….LOVE IT), and Brad and I are already talking about reducing our Direct TV package to a lower level. Now that we have Netflix, we don’t need all the bells & whistles of our current satellite package!

Although I should be honest – we got the $10/month package that gives us 1 DVD rental at a time in addition to the unlimited “streaming account”
