What's the Longest Amount of Time You've Kept A Netflix DVD?
I'm just curious.

I keep meaning to send the Series Finale of The Tudors back. I really do. We have other stuff on our list. But I keep forgetting.

I think we've had it for at least 6 months now. I'm not joking.

We've had season 2 of Gummi Bears for about 4 months now. But the kids just won't let it go.

Ironically, not very long. Now that I don't have to worry about late fees, I send them back right away.

So when there were late fees you held onto them?

I've had stuff for a month before, but never worried about it because we used the streaming so much. Now that they're changing the prices (which I'm NOT happy about) I suppose I'm going to have to be more diligent about it.

Yeah...yeah. We stream all the time.

Or did.

I better return that DVD. You guys are making me feel pretty badly about it! LOL I thought for sure someone would beat my 6 months!

Over a year. I know, I suck.

(I'd misplaced it and forgotten all about it since I usually use instant.)

I've had one out since October. I couldn't find it, and when I moved, I left it in the old apartment. Don't have the extra scratch to just pay for it right now, so I'm stuck with streaming. I mostly use that anyway, so I don't mind. :P

I'd say right around 6 or 7 months. We're terrible at watching the DVDs that we get. Once the new prices take effect for current customers, we're probably going to drop the DVDs all together and just stick with the streaming.

About two months. I don't even know which movie that was because I use Netflix streaming almost exclusively.

But we dumped the DVD option earlier this month because a) the price went up and b) everyone in the house is more interested in streaming than discs at this point.
