Unfortunately, every time I try, what I want is one of those 100 that someone took home and is about forty years overdue. And if I do get something, usually it looks like someone played street hockey with it.
The $10 a month for Netflix (I've got the same package as kandrathe) is probably one of the best deals in modern entertainment.
That is a valid point, though in practice I have only once had to wait an unreasonable time. The film in question was Amazing Grace, which I saw in the theater. Unfortunately there were hundreds of people ahead of me for the DVD when it came out.
For popular new releases the library system has many, many copies so it is not as much of an issue, though there is still often a wait for these. Only once have I received a damaged disc, but it is frustrating, I know.
Generally I can get what I want off the shelf or in a couple days. Police Academy 2 at the moment. There is also the staff perk of sometimes getting new films to take home before they are cataloged.
Besides, at $1 per day overdue that forty year film is a great addition to our budget.
