I understand your plan is different, but let me see if I understand their current program correctly. If I "check in" my movie that I received by mail, will their online queue reflect that I have turned the movie in and send me another one? That would be the equivalent of when I have to drop my Netflix envelope at a Post Office Box, except it would be instant.
If you get a movie in the mail, watch it, and then return it to the store to rent something else, that movie takes over as being your movie "out." Even though your mail-in movie is getting scanned in and returned, the movie you rented in store is what you have out. Once you return that, they'll send you your next movie in the mail. It used to be that they'd send you another movie through the mail as soon as you return it to the store, even if you use it to get another movie, so essentially you can have double the movies out.
The person that said they rent regular movies from Netflix and just buys the Blu Ray if the movie is good has it right. Avoid these fees that Netflix is charging and just do that. I know everyone wants to get the best out of their TV, but seriously, you don't need to pay extra money each month to see bad movies in Blu Ray, especially if you're already spending money on buying movies.
If you're someone that doesn't buy movies though, you can justify that extra money for Blu Ray from Netflix considering the amount of money you're saving by not buying.
