I'm super bummed out about the news that I have to pay an extra dollar a month to Netflix just to get Blu-ray discs, even though obviously it's not that big of a deal. I know they cost more (for now) and a buck isn't a huge price to pay, but I just feel like I'm being punished for being a geek and adopting the best technology available!
You know I've made the switch to Blu-ray, HDTV, and a Playstation 3 since I bragged about my Sex and the City surprise last week, but what about you?

After 123 hours and 10 minutes of continuous movie watching (yes, that means zero hours of sleep), the Netflix Movie Watching World Championship in NYC's Time Square has come to a close. Yesterday, Susan Sarandon was on hand to deliver the final movie Thelma and Louise (which was movie number 57) to the winners Suresh Joachim and Claudia Wavra. Joachim, a Sri Lanka native who now resides in Toronto, and Wavra of Petersberg, Germany achieved a new Guinness World Record for most consecutive hours spent watching movies.

Taking Netflix to the next level, my friends are all really into how much Netflix says we're alike based on our movie ratings. I know that I can always take a movie recommendation from my friend Jen because Netflix says we're 96 percent similar (96!).
And besides getting recommendations, I just think it's fun to see what my renting habits say about me.

Don't even read this if you only like to watch a movie or TV show once and then move on! Netflix is launching a competition for the world champion in movie-watching endurance.
Their couch potato contest will take place in NYC's Times Square from October 2-7 and will pit eight people against each other - in front of a giant movie screen - to break the world record of 120 hours and 23 minutes (the current world record).

If you're a Netflix member like Yours Truly, you've probably got a smattering of red envelopes lying around your house. And not the romantic, love-professing kind from your sexy valentine. Although, who knows, maybe you have both!
