EQ: For me, it's just been a lack on content. That's why I tried it a second time. I first tried back in the earlier days of streaming, and there wasn't much. I think I watched the Pixar biography thing, then pretty much crap after that. Since then, I had read that they would have new movies 30 days after the video…
My 1xDVD/Bluray+streaming is going from $13.13/mo to $17.98. 37% increase FTL. My cost won't increase until September though, so the end of August I'll drop back to just streaming. Then if I want a major rental I can just hit up Redbox. Netflix is lax on it's streaming shows though. Like they have Season 1 ONLY of…
/coffeespit so you mean the Netflix master plan all along was to stream flix to me over the net!? I'm surprised they still even have the DVD by mail option, I'm fairly positive they'll drop the mail program entirely within the next few years.
The only problems I've had with Netflix streaming has been on a couple of shows with out of sync audio, or being dubbed instead of subbed. The quality has always been fine. As far as show selection, I do wish it had more, but I'm pretty happy with what's there. It's too bad some of the movies have to expire, though. That…
Blockbuster still has the best option IMO, for hard copies that is: https://www.blockbuster.com/signup/m/plan Theirs includes blu-ray and games. It's too bad they treated customer like shit in the past, because this is the perfect opportunity for them to recover some market share. Too bad they don't offer a streaming…
The problem for me it's not the amount of the hike. For me it's the lack of explanations from Netflix to do it. The service seems to remain the same it has been for years and all of a sudden they say they are going to charge more. If they said they are getting way more stuff on Instant Stream and they listed all of that…
My girlfriend and I do with Netflix streaming. and it works out just fine for me. I can catch an episode of Pawn stars or TNG before i head to bed. Thats about all i could ask for. She gets her SVU fix and its a happy day, lol although i do miss my sportscenter :(
I don't rent dvd's from Netflix, if I want the DVD, I'll buy it. Basically I buy DVD's, and rent streaming, so it's not really gonna effect me right now. But for the people it does effect, that's a pretty big price increase. I see a lot of people leaving Netflix. Although they'll probably come right back after a month or…
Ahh that makes a bit more sense then what they've been saying about it over the last week. They really should play the underdog card and they would probably get more support. I wonder if Sony is gearing up to start its own service through PSN? It would make sense, it seems like streaming is going to be a huge part of the…
I think Netflix is in a bit of a lose-lose situation about that. Their other option is basically to tell customers "we have to charge more because you can now stream movies from Amazon, iTunes, Hulu+, etc..." which is all but pointing their current subscriber base in the direction of other options. They might feel it's…
