I think paying netflix’s premium price for rentals, not to mention their bogus blu-ray surcharge was enough to provide their suits’ yachting as it was. Now I pay the same price, and have to wait an extra month? Trust me, Netflix, I’m sure I speak for atleast 80% of your “valued customers” when I say that the more money you take from me, while you give me less and less, definitely leaves something to be desired. And by that, I mean a different service. You’ve already taken the option for me to manage my disc queue from the iPhone app, (again, very f***ing stupid) and now this? I used to love Netflix, now I hardly even use it. And I’m sure you’re ecstatic my bank account is still on file with you. However, before long, something more appealing will surface, and I’ll be denying you my hard-earned cash at that point, as I’m sure MOST of your disgruntled customers will, too.

I completely understand why the companies did this because the ‘bottom-line’ is really all that matters. Honestly, I don’t think in the end customers will care at all.

Just back from the video store where I was shocked to discover nearly every one of the movies near the top of my queue (and not yet available to netflix customers) were on the shelf and ready to rent.

Netflix says it’s all about streaming.

My wife and I spent twenty minutes looking for something to stream before settling on half of an old SNL collection. Mostly, what we found available were direct-to-dvd movies that Netflix predicts I’d rate two stars (or less).

Netflix says it’s all about streaming.

I’ve got a beautiful projection system with a giant pull down screen, an incredibly sharp picture and amazing sound. Streamed videos have a gauzy look . . . except scenes in low light. They look downright eerie. Tolerable but only for movies that aren’t intended to visually stunning.

And Netflix tells me it’s all about streaming.

I have 7 disks at home. I pay more than $600 a year. And yet there I am at the video store looking for something to watch. Why?

Because Netflix says it’s all about streaming.

It is. My money streaming out with less and less bang for my buck streaming in.

Clearly I’ve got too large a plan. If it’s all about streaming then I should settle for the smallest package that includes unlimited streaming and use the money I save to rent the movies I want from the video store.

I used to love Netflix.

And then it became all about streaming.

@Nathaniel I don’t have any experience with Blockbuster’s online service but from what I hear Netflix definitely has a much bigger selection. Netflix has movies you have to wait regardless of this, and like you I have it more to watch movies I haven’t seen. Tend to be older movies or newer movies that were small and weren’t showing in my area so the demand is not high for them.

I’ve found that Blockbuster has a much longer “wait” anyway for new releases… even without this policy in place. I rarely have trouble with Netflix and their selection is better than Blockbusters, too.

That said I don’t really have the subscription so that I can see things the day they come out. I just use it to watch movies.
