Verdict: Netflix offers a huge collection of 80,000+ DVDs which is the largest of any company we have reviewed. Although Netflix offers almost every DVD ever published, they do not offer any games or adult films.
Netflix has become noted for its extensive collection of documentary films, Japanese anime, and independent films.
The Watch Now feature allows subscribers, at no additional cost, to stream near-DVD quality movies and TV Shows from the Major studios. Currently the service has approximately 2,000 movies and TV Shows available with over 5,000 expected to be available later in the year.

Verdict: Netflix has a basic website that includes a powerful search tool to help you navigate through their huge DVD collection. They also offer movie recommendations based on how you rate movies, member reviews, critic reviews, top rented lists and special collections to help you find movies you'll love.
The site includes detailed descriptions of each title as well as the ability to add your own user rating or review.
We feel the site need more browsing features and depth of editorials list for the leading online dvd rental service.

Verdict: With 44 shipping centers throughout the US and more planned to come, Netflix offers shorter shipping times than any other online DVD rental service—taking an average of around a day to reach you once they've shipped out. These shorter shipping times allow you to get more bang for your buck, giving you the ability to rent more DVDs within a shorter time period. All movies are sent with prepaid return envelopes included.
Netflix customers can easily change the order and priority of rentals by simply clicking the "add" icon to the left of each movie title. Their priority system works well; you will receive your rentals in order, depending on availability. We are also impressed with the fact that the company will accept user requests for titles not offered in their current collection.
The company's customer support consists of telephone, email and an extensive online help system.
