I remember the good ole days when Netflix was waiting on me to return my rentals so they could send out the next items in my queue. Now, after several years of double-digit subscriber growth, I often find myself waiting several weeks or months to get my hands on new DVDs. For those thinking about jumping the fence to Blockbuster or other similar services, the wait times are no better, as you can see at this Netflix blog.
Shawn Morton appears to have found a way to jump to the head of the line at Netflix (by the time you read this, they might have fixed this loophole). I have tried this trick with mixed results, and have found that it's somewhat of a hassle to do using the Netflix website. If you are a serious Netflix user, it would probably be worthwhile to download Netflix Freak (OS X) or Netflixter (WIN) to make your DVD queue management easier.
