i know everyone is interested.....so just a quick update....gf cancelled both disc and streaming service.
so what are you gonna do now? read a book? the wall street journal?
There are so many options...
I haven't seen them charge me a new price yet. We haven't watched streaming in days.....our DVR is practically full...redbox is a $1! I don't know if you all have it but, it's probably an overall better deal....
bugs in the way...I feel about you

I got Netflix a while back. Last DVD is still sitting on the coffee table, it arrived sometime in January. I haven't been able to figure out how to connect the PC to the TV to stream. I guess I need to make a decision at some point.

Good call, I can't remember the last time I rented a dvd, I know it will eventually put businesses...out of...business...but it just gets too expensive with all the movies we watch.
@ rkcndy, pretty sure he uses torrent sites like I do. Yar! Pirating! Har har yar!
I would use torrent sites...if I could remember the password to my archaic computer! :x
I did remember http://www.marquel.com-love that site (ok, lov'ed' just checked it, they don't have new stuff as much now)
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Netflix wants to put the extra revenue towards R&D??? If it went to adding more streaming content ok...but R&D?
"Earlier this summer, Netflix's chief executive, Reed Hastings, said he recognized that "we have to face those subscribers who are upset by the price hike this quarter."
He said then that the price change would benefit Netflix in the fourth quarter and beyond, and that the company intended to spend the increased revenue on its streaming service, partly on research and development. "As our subscriber base continues to grow, we're able to spend more on improving that service, both on the R.& D. side and on the content availability side," he said."

content would be a good start. current content isn't worth the price of admission.

Redbox is a dollar if you actually bring it back the next day. My gf just informed me that she still had a movie that we rented over a week ago (and never even watched) in her living room .

redbox is the way to go for dvd rentals....
It would be if they had a wider selection. It's like the shitty choices of Netflix streaming in dvd form.

IMO, looks like netflix is going to spin off the DVD portion of the business. They have rebranded it qwikstar and the netflix brand will be used for streaming. If you have both services, you will get two seperate charges each month.

And they're adding video game rentals to the qwikster side of things.
I just got an e-mail from the Co-Found and CEO of Netflix apologizing/explaining the split in service and price hike. Sounds like BS to me, it basically says that if they didn't make these changes, Netflix would have gone the way of AOL.

I honestly get the impression that they want people to cancel the DVD service and that is why they are renaming it and making a new website.
Earlier in this thread I said that Redbox was a good idea if you actually bring the movie back: well I have paid $12 so far for a movie I have not watched yet :oops:. I left it at my girlfriend's house and called and asked her to return it that night. Well she still hasn't returned it and we are long distance. I didn't want to watch the movie in the first place (Due Date) :twisted:.

It's so weird, I never get any emails. I only even found out about the price hike here.

I would gladly cancel the DVD service if the selection for streaming wasn't so terrible. Don't they understand that?
do you understand that it isn't up to netflix...the studios are restricting allowing netflix to stream movies since it doesn't make them enough money...netflix would love to but the only way to do that would be to raise their rates 2 or 3 times what it is now

i used to read the WSJ at lunch, until the company subscription ran out. good stuff in there.
she might add HBO...
I had the wsj for a while. Now I just get the New Yorker and have been comtemplating getting the Times Weekender but it's just so damn expensive.

send it back and cancel.
i believe she is adding HBO in the near future and i'll be ordering up the NHL center ice package.
