I recently signed up for Netflix because the television season has wound down and there was never anything to watch. It was highly recommended by my family so I joined.

Netflix.com offers several packages. The plans are as follows:

8 at-a-time (Unlimited) for $47.99
Unlimited rentals – up to 8 movies out at a time with unlimited time to watch instantly for a flat monthly fee of $47.99.

7 at-a-time (Unlimited) for $41.99
Unlimited rentals – up to 7 movies out at a time with unlimited time to watch instantly for a flat monthly fee of $41.99.

6 at-a-time (Unlimited) for $35.99
Unlimited rentals – up to 6 movies out at a time with unlimited time to watch instantly for a flat monthly fee of $35.99.

5 at-a-time (Unlimited) for $29.99
Unlimited rentals – up to 5 movies out at a time with unlimited time to watch instantly for a flat monthly fee of $29.99.

4 at-a-time (Unlimited) for $23.99
Unlimited rentals – up to 4 movies out at a time with unlimited time to watch instantly for a flat monthly fee of $23.99.

3 at-a-time (Unlimited) for $16.99
Unlimited rentals – up to 3 movies out at a time with unlimited time to watch instantly for a flat monthly fee of $16.99.

2 at-a-time (Unlimited) for $13.99
Unlimited rentals – up to 2 movies out at a time with unlimited time to watch instantly for a flat monthly fee of $13.99.

1 at-a-time (Unlimited) for $8.99
Unlimited rentals – up to 1 movie out at a time with unlimited time to watch instantly for a flat monthly fee of $8.99.

1 at-a-time (2 a month) for $4.99
Up to 2 rentals a month – up to 1 movie out at a time with 2 hours of time to watch instantly for a flat monthly fee of $4.99.

We choose to go with the $8.99 plan because we thought that would be the best deal for us. Since we do not watch a ton of movies, we thought that it was worth the price.

With any of the plans, you are able to set up what is called a Queue which is a list of the movies you wish to rent. As you return a movie, the next movie on your list is sent to you automatically. You are able to add and delete from your list at anytime and move the order around to which you would like first. The general turn around time from returning a movie to getting another one is about three days. I returned on Wednesday morning and had the next one on Saturday. There are no late fees so you can keep the movie for as long as you would like. However, the faster you return it, the quicker you will receive your next movie.

Netflix offers many great DVDs from new releases to older classics. The one thing I liked the best is that I can also watch many movies directly on my computer from the Internet. This is included unlimited with all packages but the $4.99 one. They do not offer any new releases directly for Internet watching. However, there are tons of good older movies, television shows, and documentaries that makes it easy to find a good movie to watch. Internet movie watching is not available if you do not have a high speed Internet connection.

I have been pleased with everything about Netflix. They deliver your money worth and more. My wife and I have watched several movies on the Internet and we have so far received a couple of DVDs of new releases. We also received our first two weeks free for a trial but we plan to stay with them at the great price. There is no shipping fees involved and Netflix provides the shipping envelopes for returning the DVD.

I have not purchased it, however, recently Netflix released a box for $100 that allows you to watch the instant movies off the Internet directly on your television. This seems like a great idea and may be something I look into in the future. However, as for now, my wife and I watch the movies off my laptop placed on the end of our bed.

I have nothing but good things to say about Netfilx. It is a great value. It is much cheaper than pay per view from your cable or satellite provider. It is also much easier and a whole lot cheaper than traveling to the local video store and there are never any worry about returning them on time. If you are looking for something to keep the family busy or just looking for something to watch, you would be very happy with Netflix.

I started Ikariam.com a couple of months ago. It is a role playing type game where you build cities and try to manage them to keep all your people happy. You can also attack other cites in hope of expanding your wealth and material.

The idea is to build and keep building your cities and increase in levels. The game has wood (building material), grapes (to make wine), marble ( needed to build buildings), and crystal (to increase your learning and increase your academies).

You can own multiple cities on different Islands. Each Island has its own resource of the three above expect wood. Wood is available on all Islands. If everyone on the Island donates wood, the resources increase and you can get more for your city. Wine is served in the tavern and keeps your people happy. If you run out of wine, the people get angry and start leaving your city. The higher level you build each building, the more material you need.

This game started out as a lot of fun. It offers forums to interact with other players. You can also form alliances and make treaties with other players. You can buy and sell resources and even trade resources. As you get higher, the need for resources are so high and it takes longer and longer time to build a new level of buildings. If you are gone from the game for a few days, you become inactive. If you remain inactive, you will be deleted from the game.

I was excited when I first started this game. It was fun and entertaining. However, as I built bigger and bigger cities, the time to build and expand became longer and longer and I became bored. I recently quit playing and notified one of my allies that he could rob my city without any resistance from me.

Overall, the game is fun for the short term but if you are looking for a long term game, it gets too boring to keep playing. I would recommend looking for a game with a little more action and fun to it.
