    Hi,

    I was offered & took advantage of 3 trials with Netflix. To be honest there has few a small number of very interesting documentaries on Netflix but not a whole lot. I was wondering is Netflix worth it ? Is there more content when you start paying each month or is there the exact same content on show ?

    Some content comes, some goes each month, what you see in the trial is what everyone sees, nothing hidden. Entirely up to you whether you think its worth it or not.

    I have been paying a Netflix subscription for at least 18 months and rarely use it. I watched almost all of Breaking Bad on there so seems like a fair deal to me, but the number of big shows on there is pretty slim..

    I'd be going for the US/Canadian version etc. if you want varied content.


    I think I'll cancel it right now. ;)

    If you didn't find it worthwhile why go to the bother of 3 trials! Any way if you're asking the question then the answer is no.

    Very much worth it if you are able to browse all the different Netflix regions

    There's no contract to sign you can cancel whenever you want, no commitment. I find there's plenty of stuff on it to keep me interested.

    Sounds like its a pity we don't have the U.S version. The trials were free and the app was installed on my PlayStation so I just had to click on a hyperlink to try it. I don't think I will go for the monthly subscription until they expand it.

    Pretty easy to get the US version through my PS3/PS4. Personally think it's definitely worth the monthly subscription as long as you don't expect recent big movies to be on it although they do occasionally appear. It's great for everything else. Especially TV shows.

    Been said plenty of times but the front page is only the tip of the iceberg to what's available.

    There's a huge catalogue on all of them.

    Personally couldn't think of a better way to spend €7 a month.

    I have a PS4 and a PS3. How do you change region ? I don't really want movies, XtraVision do a €20/30 monthly deal for 2 shows a night. I was hoping Netflix would do more documentaries.

    Nothing to do with netflix so you don't have to pay for it. Just click on the film you want to watch and watch it. Not as convenient but free is free.
