Gift Guide: Netflix


Netflix.com
(Video Junkie, Under $100)

The premiere DVD rental-by-mail service has gotten so tempting it's bordering on the criminally insanely awesome. Netflix fans?and they are legion?already love that they can create a wish-list queue of movies and TV shows online, and then have them arrive a day or two later in their mailbox for to watch (or horde, as the case may be) at their leisure with no late fees (among the plans, choose to have unlimited rentals per month, with from one to three DVDs delivered to at a time). To sweeten the deal, Netflix has also thrown in unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows too, watchable on a PC or Mac as well as a handful of settop devices. The only thing left for them to do is start writing doctor's notes to give our boss, so we can spend our days catching up on all the movies we've ever missed.

Price: $84 (for 6-month, 2 DVDs at-at-time gift certificate)
