Netflix

[bizzaro megomauler]

cancelled the dvd portion..... twice the price not so nice....

[thunderbolt]

got rid of the dvd's kept the streaming. Its way cheaper than cable, which sucked last time I had it.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I cancelled the DVD service as well when they annouinced they were splkitting it....it's just that even on streaming the selection is getting more and more limited.....as these other contracts that they lost get tot the point where they don't renew, the selection will be even smaller.

I've never had the DVDs...just streaming...

[madmarva]

There's rarely anything I want to see on the streaming., but I still have it with the 3 at a time DVD service. If I could get the 3 at a time without the streaming, I probably would.

Eventually, I'm sure the DVD/Blu-Ray service will go by the wayside, but I've had a subscription ever since I first heard about netflix and have enjoyed it quite a bit

Hate the embargo the studios have put on new films, but I understand why.

What else is good for streaming? I have heard Amazon is getting better but still very limited.

Late to game on this thread:

Here is a good review from Wired.com that shows the players in the streaming market.

Netflix/Qwickster
Amazon Prime
Redbox
Blockbuster
HuluPlus
Android Market
iTunes & Apple TV
Vudu

I think what is happening is exactly what Netflix wanted. I really don't think they want to be in the DVD rental market for the long haul. They can focus their time and money on the streaming side of the business and now have the DVD part split out so it can be sold to Redbox, Blockbuster, or someone else who wants to buy it. In the meantime, they'll just hold onto it and use the cash generated by the DVD business to invest in the streaming business. High Def streaming isn't too far away and I think ultimately will be a brilliant move that Netflix made now when one looks at it a few years from now. One of those things that college business case studies will review.

Since the split and pay hike, I bailed!

[Nostalgiabuff]

I decided to bail as well....my renewal comes up later this month and I am cancelling. there is just not enough on streaming anymore

[SeattleEd]

I know we plan on leaving soon once we catch up on shows we missed. Not much being offered and we cancelled our HuluPlus as well. I think we might take a break until the next big service.

[thunderbolt]

Hulu Plus is the one I wish I could get, it doesn't work properly thru my Samsung player. Lots of shows there I would watch.

[fallensaviour]

Just watched "ahhh zombies".
I don't seem to have star trek tos on streaming though,stupid Canadian netflix!!!

BUMP

I've been a Netflix user since 2004, currently on their streaming/2 DVDs at a time plan. This past week they sent me two extra discs, so I now have four out. The explanation they give for the extras is, We received notice that you returned a disc, so we have shipped the next available disc from your Queue.

Makes no sense to me. I send a disc back, they get it next day, send another one right out. That's how it's worked for yrs. I don't get the reasoning behind the bonus discs, and honestly, I don't even want them, since my wife and I barely have time to watch one movie/week.

Anyway, has this been happening to other users here too?

[Mikey]

I haven't got Netflix in a few years.

I don't do streaming and stopped Netflix after they started not getting any newer release TV shows on DVD.

Did they get any better ? ... or is it the same old junk on DVD ?

[Mr.Marion]

I love Netflix yeah they don't have everything but i watch what they have. Its Great if you're a marvel fan.
They even got the incredible Hulk seasons now.
