    I don’t think my family got into Netflix back then. pretty sure like most families we didn’t hop on the Netflix train until it was more of a streaming giant

    • I had actually used Netflix to rent physical movies long before they started streaming. Though I ended up using Red Octane (essentially GameFly before GameFly existed) more for games than I ever used Netflix for movies. I even still have the last 5 games I rented from RO because they went bankrupt while I still had them. They’re all Dreamcast games lol

      Our internet was shit back then. Or maybe Netflix’s streaming was. I can’t recall, but it was constantly buffering when we tried it out. Originally you had access to both streaming and dvd’s by mail, but at some point they forced you to pick one or the other, and with how much of a mess it was, we easily chose to stick with dvd’s instead. Funny looking back on that now

        now that you mention it, our Internet was god awful where we were living in 2013. I remember we had Netflix at that point but it was rough streaming anything
