Do you rent SD-DVD's from Netflix? (HD owners)

I've only been a Netflix subscriber for about a month, and I have rented around 20 movies, all BR or HD DVD. My wife added about 7 SD movies to the Queue, but every time they get near the top, I bump them down a couple pegs. I figure once we see all the HD discs we want, then we can start working on some SD's.

Do you mix SD's in with your HD's?

Depends.

I did rent Flags of Our Fathers, since even though I want to own it, there was no point in buying it when an HD disc is pretty likely.

I have a mix but it's mostly HD/BD discs at this point. I'm in the middle of getting season 1 of Rome. No way I was going to spend the $89 that it costs to buy.

Mostly just TV shows, which are the only SD DVD releases worth watching IMO. If the film I want to see isn't out on BD/HD I can play the waiting game.

Sure. Most of the stuff I want to watch isn't on HD. I have 350 movies in my queue. Maybe 5 are HD DVDs right now.

Just depends what I want to watch. I mainly use Netflix for the movies I don't really think are worth a purchase but I still want to see.

All the HD/BD discs I want are at the top...but since most are long wait (Blockbuster.com) I have others mixed in.....kinda sucks though, as Blockbuster ships the movie that is closest to you. So, if a HD movie says Available, but SD movie is closer, I get that.

i ONLY rent SD-DVDs. I actually refused to rent since DVDs came out (because blockbuster screwed me over back in the VHS days pretty bad) but now that I don't want to buy SD-DVDs (except TV shows) all new releases that don't get put out in BR or HD just get rented.I use blockbuster though because I like their all access plan so I can go in there and get double the movies if I want to and a free game.
