What really is getting to me lately is that when I get a movie that has to come from some other state, and takes three days to get to me, the return envelope is to that state. I now have one that has to be returned to Salt Lake City and another to Des Moines by the time they get back a whole week will go by. And lately I have had to report a lot of movies that although returned are not showing up as such, so you got to wait the six day to report and then they magically find them. That really keeps your rental count down.

I got this email from Netflix a couple of days ago and I thought I'd post it for anyone who might not have gotten one. Assuming it goes through I intend to take advantage of some free rentals in a few months.

You are receiving this notice because you were a paid Netflix member before
January 15, 2005. Under a proposed class action settlement, you may be
eligible to receive a free benefit from Netflix.

A class action lawsuit entitled Chavez v. Netflix, Inc. was filed in San
Francisco Superior Court (case number CGC-04-434884) on September 23, 2004.
The lawsuit alleges that Netflix failed to provide "unlimited" DVD rentals and
"one day delivery" as promised in its marketing materials. Netflix has denied
any wrongdoing or liability. The parties have reached a settlement that they
believe is in the best interests of the company and its subscribers.

Netflix will provide eligible subscribers with the benefit described below, if
the settlement is approved by the Court.

* Current Netflix Members: If you enrolled in a paid membership before January
15, 2005 and were a member on October 19, 2005, you are eligible to receive a
free one-month upgrade in service level. For example, if you are on the 3 DVDs
at-a-time program, you will be upgraded to the 4 DVDs at-a-time program for one
month. There will be no price increase during the upgraded month. (If you
cancel your membership after October 19, 2005 and before you receive the
upgrade, you will have to rejoin to get the upgrade.)

* Former Netflix Members: If you enrolled in a paid membership before January
15, 2005 but were not a member on October 19, 2005, you are eligible to receive
a free one-month Netflix membership on your choice of the 1, 2 or 3 DVDs
at-a-time unlimited program. (If you rejoin after October 19, 2005 but before
you receive the free one-month membership, you will receive a credit for the
free month when it becomes available.)

These benefits will be provided after the Effective Date as defined in the
Settlement Agreement. Your eligibility for the benefits is based on your
membership status as of October 19, 2005. The full Settlement Agreement is
available for review at www.netflixsettlement.com.

You have four options to respond to the proposed settlement. You have until
December 28, 2005 to make your decision:

Option 1. Sign Up For The Benefit As Part Of The Settlement

To receive the benefit, you must complete the online registration process no
later than February 17, 2006, at www.netflixsettlement.com. By signing up for
the benefit, you waive your right to bring a separate lawsuit against Netflix
concerning the Released Claims (as defined in the Settlement Agreement found at
www.netflixsettlement.com).

Option 2. Do Nothing

If you do not wish to receive the benefit, do nothing. You will not receive
the benefit but will remain a Class Member. You therefore waive your right to
bring a separate lawsuit against Netflix concerning the Released Claims.

Option 3. Exclude Yourself From the Class

To exclude yourself from the class, you must mail a letter by December 28,
2005. By excluding yourself, you preserve your right to bring a lawsuit
against Netflix concerning the Released Claims. However, you will not get the
benefit described above.

Option 4. Make An Objection To The Settlement In Court

To object to the settlement, you must file legal papers in the San Francisco
Superior Court by January 5, 2006.

To receive your benefit, you must register by February 17, 2006 as described
above in Option 1. You will not receive any other reminders to register for
the benefit. If you have registered for the benefit and your eligibility is
confirmed, then you will be provided additional information by email following
the Effective Date as defined in the Settlement Agreement.

After the benefit period ends, the new or upgraded level of service will
continue automatically (following an email reminder) and you will be billed
accordingly, unless you cancel or modify your subscription. You can cancel or
modify your subscription at any time.

In addition, if the settlement is approved by the Court, Netflix will modify
portions of its Terms of Use. Netflix also will refer to its Terms of Use in
certain advertisements.

To get more information about the settlement and procedures, and to take
options 1, 3 or 4, visit www.netflixsettlement.com.

if you are a member right now and signed up before Jan 15, 2005 then you will get a free upgrade for one month...so you will get 6 out at a time for the 5 out at a time price for one month

if you arent a memeber but were before and had signed up before Jan 15, 2005 then you can get the service back for 1 month for free in which you can choose 1, 2, or 3 out at a time. I don't know why anyone would choose 1 or 2 when they are getting it for free...that seems stupid
