Netflix Debate: Does the Low Price Warrant the Slim Selection?

[ 4 ] September 28, 2010

Oh snap. Netflix in the house.

If you haven’t heard the buzz, Netflix is a service that lets you watch as many movies and TV shows as you want for $7.99/month – that’s $7.99 CAD now that we have access to this American service.

In theory, the video on demand service sounds like a great deal – one that will likely change the way we rent and watch titles. But, already, Netflix has been criticized for its poor selection.

Here’s how it works once you’ve signed up:

  • Browse 1000s of titles and add them to your rental queue. Netflix will send you one disc at a time, depending on the order you rank them and their availability. When you’re done with the disc, mail it back in the pre-paid envelope and wait for your next choice to arrive.

And…

  • Watch movies/episodes instantly on your computer or by streaming them to your TV with your Wii, PS3, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch (Xbox 360 coming soon).

Sounds great, right? Well, I dare you to browse those 1000s of titles. Let me know what you find. Anything exciting? Probably not.

Netflix isn’t known for having many new releases to begin with; in fact, they signed agreements in the States to refrain from renting new releases for 28 days to give studios a chance to sell their stock.

In Canada, though, the selection of movies new and old is thinner than Nicole Richie. Nothing I searched for was available, including older shows like Gilmore Girls. They have three movies by Tarantino and only three movies with my favourite actor, Gary Oldman. What the heck, Netflix?

The U.S. site, on the other hand, has access to over 100,000 titles, including all seven Gilmore Girls series, more than 15 titles for Tarantino and more than 45 titles for Gary Oldman. Big difference.

That being said, you’re only going to be charged $7.99/month. Compare that to Blockbuster’s $4.99 rental price per new release, and Netflix actually sounds pretty good.

I say take a free 1 month trial, do a lot of content browsing and see if it’s worth it for you.

What do you think about Netflix coming to Canada? Does the low price warrant the slim selection?

UGG Winter 2010 Sneak Peek – What’s Coming!

[ 1 ] September 27, 2010

We just caught wind of some hot new boots coming to UGG Australia in the upcoming months and received permission from UGG to give you an inside look! I grabbed my favorite pairs for guys and girls. What do you think – hot or not?

For the Guys

Left: Men’s Britton, $200; Right: Men’s Newbreak, $170

The two men’s UGG boots I included here have a similar pull-on rancher style, which I really like. Both are mostly free of buckles, leaving a nice clean look. The Britton will also be available in black (in pictured) and the Newbreak in Stout (not pictured). Both available in November.

For the Girls

Top: Classic Tall Flora (Ever Green), $180; Cassady (Cream), $200.

The Classic Tall boot has been around for years, and UGG makes trendy changes to the boot seasonally. This winter, we get a great treat – a floral pattern that stands out just enough, plus some gorgeous colours. I favor this spunky Ever Green, though the toned-down Crushed Violet (not pictured) works a well.  Available in November.

Also hot for Winter 2010 is the new Cassady boot. While I don’t love in its other soon-to-be-available color, Espresso (not pictured), the Cream is quite luxurious. The Cassady features this season’s popular wedge style plus a dramatic cinched ankle detail with gold UGG emblem. Available in October.

If you plan on shopping, don’t forget to take advantage of our $10 flat-rate shipping UGG coupon.

What do you think of these upcoming boots?
