That's fine and I like the service . . they even pay the postage both ways and include a handy mailer to make it thru the post office with no damages .

Now . . the NEW service coming out right about now . . . .

Simple . . . a computer-NOT looking video interface with your TV set and pretty much instant downloading of any movie in their library .

You can read about it here . . . but the interest in this TV-download is to keep it a non-geek application for those type of people whose VCRs are still blinking "12:00" into eternity and they don't interface with this new-fangled stuff .

Here's the link ( . kpic . com/news/tech/13005787 . html" target="_blank">www . kpic . com) . . . don't drool on it .

I got this outta a different post as I could not send youse guys the link to which I subscribe . . . I think . . . .

627263 2008-01-03 23:57:00 Yeah...I guess it's kinda a universal thing...but do youse guys get multiple mail deliveries like England?

I hear-tell that they can send out a grocery order in the early post and have it delivered the same day by a later post.

Yes but the NZ one start at NZ$18.00 for single movie rental / time where as Netflix starts at NZ$6.12 for single movie rental / time. I would subscribe to Netflix but not the money hungry NZ ones..

NZ do pay more for some thing, that are cheaper in the US, but obviously we are a far smaller market. Dell computers, however who are a global company, charge a lot more to their NZ customers, than they do for the same product in the USA, even with our exchange rate being so high.
