2 Billionth Netflix Disc Shipped

April 7, 2009 | ISSUE 45•15

Online video rental source Netflix commemorated its two-billionth disc shipped, Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist, by giving the recipient a free lifetime subscription. What do you think?

Not to toot my own horn, but the local Blockbuster gave me a free box of Dots last week because I was the 10th person to rent a DVD there this year.
