Netflix. Have you changed?

[Chunk-O-Funk]

I used my Netflix account quite a bit for bluray, DVDs and some streaming, now I'm looking around online.

Has anybody switched from Netflix? To who and why. What kind of service? Did you stick it out with Netflix. Did you cancel that type of service? What is your favorite color? The meaning of life? Why does one nut hang lower?

All good questions, don't ya thing.

I'm still with netflix, though I haven't used it much lately to be honest. I should cancel my subscription...

 

[electracoyote]

I canceled my Blockbuster subscription to go Netflix because the HD television we purchased (Sony) offered instant download-ready with Netflix.

I'm still trying to get my head around what happened. I know rates went up, but what else?

 

[MatticusMania]

I changed my account to DVD only, as I dont have a streaming device in my house. Went from $9.99 to $7.99 for the same service I was already using.

I know they upped the rates if you have an account with both DVDs & streaming. If you only use one or the other the rates actually went down. Then there was something about Starz no longer making their flicks available or something like that.

My wife and I use the streaming for our primary source of TV. I cancelled the DVD service immediately after they said prices were going up. They took a great value to customers and
ruined it, got greedy in my book. If there was another alternative I would cancel it all together. What their doing is the same reason I kicked the the cable company out of my house and went them in the 1st place.

The greed is mostly on the behalf of the studios who supply the shows and movies to NetFlix. They jacked their cost to NetFlix way up.

I only stream so it didn't effect me.

Did not the rates go down for you?

 

[Horny Toad]

What is your favorite color?

Green.

The meaning of life?

Beats me.

I'm the same as Vic, I was streaming only anyway, the rates did not change. I'm paying exactly the same as I was before. The plan change did not affect me at all.

Bingo. The studios that own so much of the content didn't give credence to the value of online access a few years ago, so Netflix got great licensing deals. Now that the studios have gotten wise, they're trying to leverage the value that Netflix proved was there in first place. But everyone wants to whine about how Netflix is "screwing" them with the price hikes. Shades of how record companies dismissed the promise of internet access, until forward-thinkers showed them what the future was all about.

I have the one DVD plus streaming option, so my rates went up. I always thought Netflix was under-priced. I tried Hulu for a week, and even with the premium service, you still get commercial interruptions inflicted on you. Intolerable.

Even at the current rate, Netflix is still the best deal going, IMO.

I was ready to drop it, but the wifey wanted to keep it.

 

[superbassman2000]

i still have both streaming and 1 dvd, but we are probably going to drop the DVD part as we are running out of dvds we want to watch

 

[canopener]

I bought Netflix stock when it was on the hight of its crescendo at $125 per stock. I dumped it the last time it was at $245!

 

[JacoLesFlea]

I have the two dvds at a time no streaming.

 

[Count_Blah]

I'm got 2 DVDs and streaming. I have to use the streaming, cause my wife keeps pushing her DVDs up to the top of the list so it's the only way I get to see a movie

 

[tplyons]

I cancelled Netflix altogether. Was barely watching it and definitely couldn't justify after the price hike. If I need a movie, I'll hit up the local RedBox. Favorite color, ironically is red. The meaning of life is 42. And one nut hangs lower for aerodynamics.

This.

No drama-queens in the cognito household. Netflix is one of the best deals going, even with the price hike.
