Company operates one of the most successful new video rental business models -- it offers unlimited DVD rentals for users who subscribe to its service for $19.95 a month. Users choose movies they want from online catalog of over 60,000 movies and after they've selected their movies, discs are sent out using first class mail.

If it allowed you say 30 movies a month it wouldn't be a bad deal, but with the slow mail I don't think you would get that many. If they would let you have say 7 movies at a time it might work out. That way you could watch a movie a day.
