Netflix never ceises to amaze

Netflix has announce yet another service for their customers, they are offering free streaming movies. This service comes as the demand for immediate viewing has risen.

Blockbuster is currently running a big ad campaign trashing Netflix because its members have to wait for the movies to come through the mail; while Blockbuster offers a similar rent by mail service with the advantage that their members can run to the store and pick up movies at no additional charge.

Netflix, which has been named the #1 rated Web site for customer satisfaction for three consecutive periods, according a semi-annual survey by ForeSee Results and FGI Research in the spring of 2005 and the winter and spring of 2006, didn't want fall behind. As such, they have reacted offering its catalog of about 70,000 DVDs over the internet. The typical Netflix subscriber will benefit from approximatedly 18 hours of internet viewing in addition to the 3 movies at a time deal with no additional cost.

However, the company wants to make sure they have the technical support for the new addition so they are opening the new program slowly with only a few of its close to 6 million subscribers having received an invitation.

I have spend the last three days waiting for my invitation. I was one of the first subscribers to Netflix when they open their virtual doors for business and thought I would receive an invitation soon. I have seen no mention of the online viewing feature on their Web site, and even send them an email about it, but have received no respond.

The bottom line is that although I'm not previewed to the service yet, I'm desperatly and impatiently awaiting for my invite. I LOVE NETFLIX!!!! I hope to receive my invite soon as I will be traveling and it will be nice to be able to have something to do on those nights I find myself away from home.
