Netflix: 2011 Plan Changes

theDreamer

I will play the opposite, Netflix even with both plans (which I will be keeping) is still the best deal on the market for movie/TV shows. No cable, online provider, etc. has matched what Netflix offers currently. Will it stay this way forever? Probably not, but until then Netflix is still winning even with all the people leaving.
Also, this is in the end most not entirely Netflix's doing. The movie studios all have contracts up for renewal this year and have been demanding massive increases from Netflix to continue streaming/DVD service.

Yeah, I knew the reasons behind the price hike and they are still offering a good deal. I just don't feel like doing it anymore. My recent streaming has gone way down and I never really do DVD by mail. I just Bittorrnent like nuts and I watch TV. My cable suffices pretty well, not to mention my Xbox with racing games and shooters.

I have cut down on gaming in the past few years, to almost nothing and moved more towards movie/TV shows.
Unfortunately I had to give up any illegal movie access or streaming, cannot take the risk anymore.

I game or stream almost exclusively. I had to give up questionable legal practices 8 years ago because of work.

I would gladly go to 100% streaming with Netflix if they would offer a real streaming collection, but the current selection is just pitiful and not even worth the 8 dollars in my opinion.

I disagree to an extent. My Instant Queue is overflowing, in part because I don't waste time on current TV shows. I hate commercials and having to wait a week between broadcasts. I like to consume entire seasons without interruption. But it's also quite large, because there's a treasure trove of obscure movies in there that are highly underrated for one reason or another. A little internet browsing here and there will uncover some movies that you'd never think would be so good. I've wasted hours marveling at modern Korean Cinema, for example.

But I do agree that they need to buff up their collection. For them to make this move, the words "Disc Only" should no longer appear ever.
