Netflix, the extremely popular online DVD and Blu-Ray Disc rental service, has announced that it shipped its 2 billionth movie yesterday. Not only that, but the lucky recipient of the 2 billionth disc received a complimentary lifetime membership.

Netflix has grown substantially since its original launch towards the end of 1999. The rental services now ships just under 2 million discs across the US every day to 10 million subscribers from a library of over 100,000 films. That’s quite a substantial growth pattern for a company that’s nearly 10 years old.

The 2 billionth movie shipped was “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”, which was mailed to Clay Shannon.
