What about the Brick and Mortar stores like Family Video? It will not influence me to purchase the disk. Why would I pay 20 bucks to see a movie one time when I can just wait and rent it.
DVD Rental Window Wait to Double to 56 Days for Warner Titles
Peter Kafka at AllThingsD reports that the DVD rental window, now 28 days, will double to 56 days for Warner titles at Netflix, Redbox, and Blockbuster. A new deal between Time Warner’s movie studio and Netflix, Redbox and Blockbuster will double the “window” for new releases. That means the s...
I would pay up to 20 a month and drop Netflix until I ran out of stuff to watch on HBO GO.
Should HBO Offer HBO Go Directly to Consumers?
MG Siegler has written an open letter to HBO, warning them that now is the time to offer HBO to offer the HBO Go service directly to customers, outside of a cable subscription: Though they’re going through a bit of a rough transformation right now, Netflix is clearly adjusting their cannons to ...
They don't listen to there customers. Millions of us told Netflix the new user interface sucks and they ignored us. Why?Millions of us said a 60% price increase was unacceptable and they ignored us. The result was millions of us took a long hard look at what we were paying for and we adjusted are plans accordingly. What did they think was going to happen. I went from paying 22 or something a month to 7.99. If everyone did that then the stocks are going to go even lower. Mwahahaha

It looks like the price increase cost Netflix a few more subscribers than they predicted, as they lowered subscriber guidance in a letter to investors this morning. Here's the full text of the letter: Dear Fellow Shareholders, Two months ago we took a big strategic step by separating streaming ...
I would have rather seen that money go to netflix so they could buy up more content for south Africa.

Thanks for posting this. I love great shows and after I saw this I checked it out. I watched all 3 seasons in a few days. One of the best shows I ever seen. Thanks.
Breaking Bad Seasons 1 - 3 Now on Netflix Streaming
Breaking Bad seasons 1 - 3 are now available on Netflix streaming, according to Netflix on Twitter. I'm a huge fan of the rather dark show, and if you haven't seen it before I'd recommend checking out the first few episodes. Thanks to Rob for sending this in.
SPARTACUS. I tuned in every week to see this show air on netflix. During the time that show was coming out fresh on Netflix I was extremely happy with the value that was 9.99 a month. I'm going to miss it and I hope that they can make a deal for at least that show.
What Netflix Streaming Titles Do You Like and Dislike?
With the Starz deal possibly ending early next year, I'm wondering how important the Starz content was to you? What other movies and/or TV shows do you enjoy the most on Netflix streaming? What could you do without? Finally, what would you like Netflix to acquire for streaming? Thanks to Noor fo...
Is it possible for foreigners in America to get the foreign content. This would be great for most of southern Californians.
Netflix Starts Launching Streaming Service in Latin America & Caribbean
Netflix announced that they have started rolling out streaming in Latin America and the Caribbean, starting with Brazil today and through 43 Latin American and Caribbean countries by September 12th. Here's the full rundown of the availability & pricing for streaming: Today, the Portuguese-langu...
I'm on the 7.99 plan and can stream on 2 devices at one time. I'm often not able to get on because there are already 2 devices running it in the house by family members. When I was on the 3 at a time disk by mail I never had this problem. I have long thought that Netflix was intentionally letting people get more devices at once than they paid for on purpose to make the customer happy and at the same time gyp there content providers somehow.
"No Netflix Streaming Customer is Limited to Less Than 2 Concurrent Streams."
StoptheCap reported that Netflix was enforcing a single stream per account and had an error screen to back it up (and a bunch of sites picked up the story without verifying it with Netflix), but Steve Swasey, Netflix's VP, Corporate Communications, told HackingNetflix: No Netflix member is limi...
I always wished that they would raise the price of netflix so that we could get more premium content. I'm glad that they are expanding, good for them. I'm just wondering if its normal to take from one group to expand into another group. If I owned say a burger shop would I get away with raising the price for a hamburger from 4 to 8 bucks so that I could go open a burger shop in another town and sell them for 5 bucks. I'm a little confused as to the logic of all this. If I wanted to open another burger shop I would have saved up and used my savings to open another shop. Netflix has done something seriously strange here. They are gambling that there customers will very willingly bankroll there expansion so that there is no decrease in revenue for there company during this time of transition. I only wish that the price increase was to get more premium content instead of getting stuff for other countries.
Netflix Gets 1,200 Hours of Shows from Telemundo
Reuters reports that Netflix has signed a deal with Telemundo for up to 1,200 hours of streaming content, including the hit show La Reina del Sur (The Queen of the South). Telemundo is the second-biggest Spanish-language distributor, and this deal will help Netflix launch in more than 43 Caribbe...
Since I love the Instant Streaming I switched from 3 at a time to Streaming ONLY ! I save 18 dollars a month this way. Netflix did me a favor. They opened my eyes to how foolish it is to think that I can actually find enough movies each month to rent that would justify my being a disk member any longer. I will have a hard time spending 18 a month at the redbox since there really isn't a whole lot of new stuff I want to see each month. There are alternatives to disk rentals and Netflix has pushed to far with this increase in price to justify having the disk part of the plan. I may come back to the disk side of the plan after enough new movies come out that I could take advantage of the fast shipping and turnaround times that netflix has. Until then good luck in South America and South Korea and Japan!
What Did You Do After the Netflix Price Increase?
Reader FearNo1 suggested a poll to follow up on what you did after the Netflix price increase. I'm curious to see the results of this poll vs. the poll we ran right after the price increase. Post-Price Increase You:
I use Google News on the PC and Xbox 360 MSNBC channel on the TV. I also get the standard over the air channels that show news at 5 and 11 oclock. I cut the cable cord about a year ago. I save about 80 Bucks a year which I use for Netflix, Hulu Plus, Xbox Zune. I cut the DVD by mail now that the prices went up. I used to be a 3 at a time member now Im a RedBox Member. Although I do hate the late fees.
How Do You Get News & Emergency Information After Cutting the Cord?
Long-time reader RJEJR is worried about Hurricane Irene and is looking for good sources of information: About 1 week ago today I dropped to basic cable, and of course now a major hurricane is bearing down on my south shore Long Island home. I'm already going thru Jim Cantore withdrawal. I was w...
Now I see why so many insiders went on selling Tons of there shares last month.
Netflix Stock Takes a Serious Dive to $205 Per Share
It's never been easy being a Netflix investor. The company competes with cable companies, HBO, Amazon, Coinstar, Apple and a ton of other successful companies, but recently Netflix (along with most stocks) took a serious dive to almost $200 per share. The company is still worth almost $11 billio...
In order to expand into Japan and South Korea Netflix will need to invest huge amounts of there money into new content that those people will want to watch. I don't know where they will get that kind of extra money without raising the rates on the US customer. I mean there stock value would really take a hit if they don't think to raise the price on US customers before they do that. I hope the price doesn't go up but it probably will! OH wait, it did! And will we get new and better content? Fuck No! South America and fucking Korea will get a shit ton of Jakie fucking chan shit.
