Netflix on XBOX 360 is a steal!

For those of you with an XBOX 360, you may still be getting used to the New XBOX Experience.  Take it or leave it, its here to stay.

However, the coolest thing about it (or at least from a college student’s perspective) is that you can now stream Netflix movies to your 360.  You can sign up for a two week free trial if you don’t already have a Netflix account, or sign in with your Netflix info and begin streaming.

If you’re not already a subscriber, it looks like a steal at about $9 a month for unlimited movie streaming (12,000 titles available) AND the ability to have 1 DVD at a time (many more times the selection).

Nine trips to the RedBox machine or unlimited movie rentals from the comfort of your couch?  Seems like a good deal for a college student.

Enterprise Deal for MC Students UPDATED

The Marietta College Announcement Page just popped up an interesting tidbit that is a nice little deal for students without a car down here.

MC students can get 50% off either a five day rental (from Wednesday to Monday) or a three day rental (from Friday to Monday) from Enterprise Rent-A-Car.  That means you’re looking at about $125 for the five day rental (if you are going for the Chevy Aveo in Economy Class), or $75 for the three day rental (same vehicle).  $5 more and you can be cruising around in a Chevy Cobalt or Toyota Carolla (intermediate), or $15 more and you’re in a Chevy Malibu (standard).

Freshman and most Sophomores need not apply, as you must be 21 or older to be able to rent a car.  If you’re a student over the age of 25, you can take off the $25 fee charged to younger drivers.  Seems kinda backwards since most of the people that could use this program are Freshman, since they are still suffering from the new restrictions instated this year that limit freshman parking to those that meet one or more of certain criteria.

UPDATE!!!

The 50% off deal is good for everybody from Friday to Monday.  Not just students at MC.  Anybody, anywhere can take advantage of that.

The deal that applies to students is the 50% off a rental from Wednesday to Monday.  I can confirm that this deal is good specifically for Marietta College students.  However, your milage may vary at other institutions.  Call your local Enterprise Rent-A-Car to find out if you can take advantage of the deal too.

Students wishing to take advantage of the extended deal here in the Marietta Area should contact the local Enterprise Rent-A-Car, because the deal is not available online.
