    But no change in pricing?

    Glad we cancelled


    guess what is still sitting on the coffee table?
    Mail it.

    Cancel it.

    Done.

    but, but....we just might want to watch it

    I might be one of the few that wasn't upset at the price hike. I have no shortage of things to watch on my streaming queue and use the disc option for newer movies or shows not available on streaming. I still think the price they are charging is very reasonable.

    Dear rick,

    It is clear that for many of our members two websites would make things more difficult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs.

    This means no change: one website, one account, one password…in other words, no Qwikster.

    While the July price change was necessary, we are now done with price changes.

    We're constantly improving our streaming selection. We've recently added hundreds of movies from Paramount, Sony, Universal, Fox, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, MGM and Miramax. Plus, in the last couple of weeks alone, we've added over 3,500 TV episodes from ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, USA, E!, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, ABC Family, Discovery Channel, TLC, SyFy, A&E, History, and PBS.

    We value you as a member, and we are committed to making Netflix the best place to get your movies & TV shows.

    Respectfully,

    The Netflix Team



    make up your damned mind. meanwhile I haven't watched any netflix movies in 9 months at least, I am still thinking about it.

    I still say they're better than Blockbuster...hopefully there won't be any price hikes for awhile.

    I already canceled the dvds. Unless they're changing the price, it's still not worth it.
    bugs in the way...I feel about you

    seems like I can search and search on there and not find anything I want to watch. Turn on the TV and find some movie - one that I've seen many times or that I have on DVD, I think I am more of a spontaneous viewer that way.

    if you make any money off Netflix, I want a 20% stake, since I brought it to your attention... ;)
