If Australia uses Netflix then I would highly suggest getting an account with them.

I don't think they do. Considering Netflix runs off the US Postal Service as its primary distribution. Plus I don't think they do foreign region codiings.

Hmm no netflix, only other one looks dodgy as hell.

Oh well, my mate just DLs most of the movies I like (Foreign/Asian films) but I may have to get a region free Bluray/DVD player sooner rather than later, and just mass purchase Region 1 DVDs from various online stores...

What is NetFlix like anyway?

NetFlix is basically a recurring billing of a set amount and then you can set up movies into a list and when one of them becomes available they mail it to you, you can watch it, then you mail it back and when they get it, they send you the next one on your list.

Pretty vast, great selection of foreign movies too, only problem I've had with it is the condition of some of their DVD's, because they're being passed around like the town bike, there is some scratching, nothing to the point of not being able to play, but annoying none the less.

Best thing ever.

You go online and make a list of movies you want to see and they send you one in the mail the next day, you watch it whenever you want, send it back (no late fees) and they send you your next movie. You can even watch streming movies online. Its about $10 a month (American) and I get unlimited rentals for 1 movie at a time.

Hmm doesn't sound too bad at all if you have the time to watch them (Which I have ample amounts of atm )

Found a similar one in Aus but expensive to the point of pointlessness and limited selection.

Yeah its pretty great and the no late fees thing is really hurting the rental competition like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video. Alot of them have focused more on video games recently to attrach customers back.
