I heard about it on the NPR program Radio Lab yesterday-- which had a show devoted to how humans process choices.

It got to be somewhat stressful to kinda think about whether or not we were breaking even in terms of how many movies we were watching from there vs how much it'd cost to get the same amount from Blockbuster down the street. Stressful for me because I think too much about crap like that, anyway. I have little need to see stuff immediately though, so putting a movie on hold at the library isn't a big deal for me. I'm number 515 in line for Benjamin Button. :) We had a similar experience, and ended up just ditching Netflix entirely.
