My Fave Entertainment: Napster & Netflix

Yes, I am unabashedly promoting these 2 mega-companies. Why? Because they deliver, that's why!

I have used them both for several years and am constantly teased at my job for "listening" to movies while I work. I'm listening to "Midnight Run" right now, if you must know.

With Netflix, they have several plans available, depending on how many DVD's you want out at a time. I just downgraded from their 8-at-a-time plan for $52 to their 3-at-a-time for $16. Now that it's warmer, I won't be hibernating at home as much. At times when money was tight, I've had to put my membership on hold. I've never had an issue - I either did it online via my account settings or spoke with their Customer Service (which is excellent). My only complaint is that their "Watch Instantly" selection changes a bit frequently. I have bookmarked my favorites and a few of them aren't available anymore.

I actually use Napster and iTunes, but I much prefer Napster. Firstly, you can transfer their files to most mp3 players with no compatibility issues, and also I think their selection is much better. That said, my only complaint is that a few of my favorite songs are now longer available at the artists' request.

So, check them out, get a membership (and yeah, I get paid too) - you won't regret it!
