P.S. Netflix is EVIL! Pass it on.

  1. Huge change to their pricing structure today -- they now require separate plans for streaming and DVD rentals. I either need to cancel something, or my bill goes up 60% ... and that means something's getting cancelled.

  2. Thanks for the heads up. For me the calculation is what are the netflix prices, compared to a premium cable channel. The selection on netflix is only slightly better.

  3. Yeah, I think I'll at least cancel the streaming, and maybe the whole thing. Their streaming selection is actually pretty pitiful, at least when it comes to the sort of stuff I enjoy.

  5. In Canada Netfilx doesn't even offer dvd rentals

  6. Yep, Phil ... I think that's definitely true. That's actually going to be a problem with Netflix, though, because while they had the DVD rental market pretty well sewn up, there's lots of competition for downloads.

    That's the main reason I decided not to invest in Blu-rays at all -- the format's going to be forgotten long before it ever achieves critical mass.

  7. the problem is netflix HD files are huge and when internet providers are putting on bandwidth caps and people are getting huge bills because of it here.

  8. Yeah, if I download something as big as a movie, I want to be able to keep it. So I'll dump the Netflix streaming and look for other download sources. ;-)

    I may keep the Netflix DVDs coming for a little while, but I imagine those days are numbered ...

  12. I heard they were raising their prices 60 percent? Ha!!! They can say goodbye to all their bizness.

  13. It's true, David ... and they're losing at least some of my business, that's for sure. :/

  14. I wonder why such the increase... Oh well, I used Red Box when I was back and like that better.
    Can you see my picture posts?
