I know they say that you get the original cover art and case, but what about the disc? Are they like the ones you would get at a store or are they the grey Netflix rental only discs?

I've done it a couple of times and so far it's been the original disks.

Original disc's. I ordered the incredibles to replace a scratched up one, it had problems with scratches also, netflix immediately replaced at no cost to me. It was the original disc and the bonus disc with inserts and covers, the case was not an original disney case or at least it didnt match the original one I had purchased on release day but it was close.

Thanks. I ordered the 2 disc War of the Worlds. I hope I have the same experience as you guys.

I purchased the original Kurosawa's PULSE dvd used from Netflix and it was all original artwork, case and dvd. No scratches whatsoever. I'm planning to buy some more in the future.

I bought hostage from them to test out and it had massive scratches on disc...never bothered to test how it played.

I only stayed with Netflixs for about 2 months (I now use redbox) and just about every disk that came to me were scratched to various degrees. Let's face reality, when people rent they don't care how they handle them. I would never buy used disks from them, no matter how good the price..Just my opinion..

I'm a little late getting back to this thread, but my order came in. It arrived in about the same time as a rental would that was not mailed to me from a local distribution center (about 2 extra days).
I ordered the 2 disc version of the new War of the Worlds.
Disc 1, the movie, has some light scratches on it. Nothing serious at all and it played fine. Disc 2, the extras, looks perfect. No scratches at all. Both discs have the artwork and not the gray Netflix title covers.
I was sent the jacket artwork, but they sent me the one for the one disc release. This is actually, what Netflix shows on the site when purchasing it, so technically they sent what was advertised.
The case is a 2 disc case with one disc per cover. I don't know what type of case was used for those who purchased it in store.
Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase. I would buy from them again.

Have you to be a member to buy used DVDs?

I've purchased a few. I only had a problem with one, I tried to purchase Undead. The first copy I got had a huge CRACK in the disc radiating out from the center ring. I emailed Netflix and they said "no problem, we'll send you another". I got a second disc with the exact same issue, I complained again and got the, "we quality check everything that comes in and goes out and it is very unlikely that this happened again, we're keeping an eye on your account, etc" I told them, "look, I have no reason to lie to you, I've been a member for almost 4 years with no issues, I don't want another disc, I just want my $6 back" after about 10 days they finally refunded my money.

I believe you do need to be a subscriber since you have to log into Netflix to see the listings.

I would think they are not allowed to sell the grey Netflix discs. I'd imagine those are created at a lower cost for rental only.
