Cutting in Line at Netflix

Just found this, very disappointing if you ask me. I would hope that Netflix would do it like all other places, first come first serve. Now, I have no experience with this, so I don't know if it is fact or not.

Thoughts?

Did you read the comments? Pretty much everyone said it doesn't work.

It works sometimes, not all the time. I recently reduced my queue to 4 movies, all very long wait. When they received my next DVDs the last one in the queue shipped. But now I'm left with one empty slot as it says the next movie will ship monday. We'll see.

Even if it works, it woudn't be worth deleting all my other movies. I would never rememeber what I had in there.

I'm confident that I'll get to see Cinderella Man before the end of the year.

A coworker of mine will remove ALL movies from his queue, and then readd them. He claims this gets the "long wait" movies sent out. Similar to what the OP posted.

Either way, it's too much work for me to remove all 300 of my movies and readd. I'll get to the long waits eventually.

Instead of removing all of your other movies, why make a seperate profile with just the long wait ones and set all your movies to come out of that one?

On the other hand, everybody says it doesn't work so what's the point?
