Do You Suffer from Netflix Guilt (Applicable to Any DVD Rental Service)

Even though it's not focused specifcally on the Australian market, this piece from Newsweek is one of our favourites on the psychology of online DVD rental. Do you feel guilty about not watching films faster on your DVD rental service, or renting high-brow drama or foreign films, only to let them languish on top of your DVD player while you watch trashy comedies?

It's a clear result of media overabundance, and an interesting article. We were never as bad as the one Netflix subscriber who rented Maria Full of Grace for over two years, but didn't watch the gritty drama because she “wasn't in the right mood.”

To be fair, the DVD rental companies don't want this to happen to you, as people will tend to get frustrated and reduce or cancel their subscriptions, so they do spend considerable funds and effort trying to make film recommendations you'll truly enjoy.
