So did you know that netflix saves your entire history?

Found out recently that netflix saves your entire rental history and also has your entire billing history there as well. This seems to be rife for an hour or two with excel. But that would take more energy than I have tonight.

So we will just give the rough highlights.

Member since... February 2004.
Total money spent on Netflix: $908.83 (majority of that time as a 3 at a time member)
Total movies rented at Netflix: 325
Number of "seasons" of TV watched: 37.
Price per disc rental: $2.7964.

Assuming I became a member 2/1/04, I have been a member for 1489 days.
Which means on average I watch a movie every 4.58 days.

I really though I would be getting a better deal that than that, but it looks like not a whole lot better than going to blockbuster. Spend $3 to rent a disc for 5 days...

Some times statistics depress me. Next time, a look at these same numbers broken up by seasons!!!!
