Why not check out your public library for movies, music and even video games. They typically have them available in all formats – DVD, CD, video and some still have tapes as well. So even if don’t have the newest technology you can still share in the fun. I’m sure this tip has been mentioned in the past but it’s important enough to share again.

I realize this post is old but people are directing to it from Twitter so want to make sure people are aware that you can now watch movies and TV episodes instantly on your Intel-based Apple Macintosh computers. Thank you!

Mary, thanks for visiting and your kind words. I’m so glad you enjoyed the post.

I agree about the pros and cons, but overall I think the pros are winning for me with Netflix right now. Although, I didn’t get that Bob Dylan movie that was supposed to arrive today (I’m Not There). I blame that on the post office : )

The thing I have to watch on Netflix is avoiding the temptation to make a special trip to the post office to mail a CD back when I miss my mail carrier at the apartments. Most of the time I just mail it here anyway and wait an extra day.

The Planet Earth collection is a great one to rent if you’re looking to add to your queue.

I am a member of Netflix and I am addicted to watching movies. However, this is mostly due to the fact that I am chronically ill and can do very little. However, I was happy to read this article because you answered all of my questions, thank you. As far as Netflix being green I belive that every choice has pros and cons. Unless of course you decide to stop watching films and tv altogether.

Jennifer, there isn’t much on TV I like either.

That’s why we have the really cheap basic cable (just for reception pretty much) and Netflix.

I don’t do Netflix, but I can see why you might watch more tv than usual with it. The reason I don’t watch much tv is because there’s nothing on I like. If I had movies sent to me maybe I would. But, overall I think the gas, recycling, and time aspects make it more green than the video store.
