NEtflix v. you're kidding right?

Dear Jason,

We are separating unlimited DVDs by mail and unlimited streaming into two separate plans to better reflect the costs of each. Now our members have a choice: a streaming only plan, a DVD only plan, or both.

Your current $9.99 a month membership for unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs will be split into 2 distinct plans:

Plan 1: Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs) for $7.99 a month
Plan 2: Unlimited DVDs, 1 out at-a-time (no streaming) for $7.99 a month

Your price for getting both of these plans will be $15.98 a month ($7.99 + $7.99). You don't need to do anything to continue your memberships for both unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs.

These prices will start for charges on or after September 1, 2011.

You can easily change or cancel your unlimited streaming plan, unlimited DVD plan, or both, by going to the Plan Change page in Your Account.

We realize you have many choices for home entertainment, and we thank you for your business. As always, if you have questions, please feel free to call us at 1-888-357-1516.

YEah, no thanks. :fufu: Netflix.

[Spider Monkey]

What the fuck? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ouch.

[Kylebechtold]

FUCK THAT!! its probably because its available on phones and shit now... streaming wasn't a huge concern until it was available erry where

[SyKo13]

Only a matter of time before they get to me, that's fawken bullshit, fuck them

Wonder how many lost customers its gona take before they go back to their original plan, IF

[Kylebechtold]

[Spider Monkey]

Like first we kill Blockbuster and Hollywood video, and then we rape and pillage because there is no competition.

[_AnGeL_]

got the same email, switch to stream only. I never get dvd's anyway

[UCP]

Fuck them I CAN get all that shit for free if I wait 15 minutes.

[Kylebechtold]

[Spider Monkey]

Yurp derp

Then they need to lower their price, not double it.

[Twistedchild420]

It appears they are not kidding

[Kylebechtold]

you kill off competition you raise prices.. they know americans are lazy as shit and use that to raise the prices of not having to leave home to get your movie on.. and know a lot of people are also lazy enough to not even mess with their account and take it in the ass from netflix

That comment you quoted was in relation TO the COMPETITION. Point invalid.

[bluecar]

I turned off the internet, thus this has no effect on me.

[MR.Crunk]

[DUSSIN]

Good thing I just canceled mine.

[Captain Ahab]

Well this fucking sucks. I just started mine back up on Friday...

[SyKo13]

No email yet, interesting

Maybe I won't get one since I've only asked for 1 DVD in a year?

[Derrick824]

We have netflix through the wii and it sucks.

[DUSSIN]

I canceled it cause of showtime. Saturday i bought a blueray with that shit so i can gets it when dexter is over, but now i might not :/myself:

[Porch Monkey]

i still have one from 1 march lol

[rmsanger]

I'm going from $24 to $28... I'll gladly bend over and take this... Netflix Blu Ray 3 per + Streaming + PS3 = tons of win.

[SyKo13]

i still have one from 1 march lol

I've had mine for a year now....

Not even sure where it is...

[_AnGeL_]

[hoss]

loldvd's

[John3000]

I signed up for the free trial a week ago and then I got that email. Streaming only from now on, they are about to lose a lot of customers.

[toasted1]

I'd sign up for streaming if you could get all the main NBC, ABC, CBS shows and news on demand that's the only thing I really miss about cable that I can't download.

You can get the big shows but it's hit or miss on a lot of the others and I'd rather watch the news that read the paper.

Doubt it

[Captain Ahab]

They are gonna lose me. :fyi:

[97gp]

They dont care about you, they will still end up making more money, most likely

[wishuponansg]

Streaming only checking in.

[mrogowski]

funny how the email is worded - they try to make it sound like they are actually doing you a favour by separating the two services.

[hoss]

It wouldn't be so bad, if they made all of their DVDs available for streaming. Their selection blows right now.

[Porch Monkey]

just got the email, they want $19mo now

[Captain Ahab]

Mine will be going from $12 to $18....I mainly have it for the Blu Rays, but I like being able to stream when I am really bored...I may keep it, hell it is just $6.

[Redemon]

I dropped mine to streaming only.
I rarely got to actually watch a movie.

[ngsm13]

MEH.

[jesus]

Got my email yesterday.

That's like $2/mo. that I can put back for Noah. :woot:

[ngsm13]

:boner:
