I am not upset about the cost of Netflix. What I am upset about is how they have something on streaming then it is gone. I signed up for the streaming service to see Dexter and....Melrose Place. I started with Melrose Place first and now Dexter is not available.

They rotate it around every couple of months. It does suck when you have something planned out, but its nice when you feel like there's nothing left! What kind of tv do you like? I'm more than willing to offer suggestions. I'm pretty much addicted to Netflix.

We went ahead and canceled our dvds because we had one sitting on our entertainment center for 2 months before finally watching... We watch a lot on instant, but havent been getting our monies worth for the dvd's lately.

If I didnt have sattelite and could get high speed internet at my house I would have Netflix instead of tv I would do the online streaming because our mail person is highly unreliable. When I did have Netflix we never had an issue with them and the one time we got a dvd that didnt play I called them and they overnighted a replacement copy of it and I shipped the damaged one back right away. Easy as pie to deal with. Sadly for me the cost of the Netflix and then having limited amounts of data to use per month its cheaper for me to have sattelite than Netflix.

I do personally think it makes more sense business wise to charge seperately for dvds and streaming. But thats me. Its also not shocking that they are pushing the streaming because eventually the dvds will be kinda null and void..just like how eventually everyone will have a smart phone so thats why cell companies are restructuring their data plans and speeds. Its just whats going to happen with time and inevitable.

I made my choice, for now, to stick with DVD, as the one and only thing i had left in my queue was a Brit show they don't offer on streaming. I'm making my way through the remaining season of that, and then I may flat out switch back to streaming...

I think splitting the two services is a mistake, IMHO. I was perfectly happy with having both for an affordable price.

Some here have mentioned having a gaming machine they stream through. I have a Roku box. I get Hulu+, and when I go back to Netflix streaming, I'll have that again as well... I've had Netflix for years now... since they started up, I think. I jumped at it immediately, as there are no late fees. I'll likely drop DVD service once I'm done with the show I'm catching up on. Inspector Lyndley... oof.

I decided to only keep streaming, and the funny thing is I received the last DVD on my list right before this. I have a long list of movies that they just don't offer. So I have streaming only now...
I am not surprised at all that this extreme increase for their base customers is putting a 'dent in their change purse'! I live in NYC and we are constantly side swiped by all kinds of price increases, toll hikes, rent, tax, ticket, power, TV, everything and anything you can think of, they find a way. Currently they are saying the postal service is making cuts and may cut Saturdays out of service, no deliveries on Saturdays! SO this effects how many DVD's you would get a month from Netflix.......it's a big round about with very few exits!

I remember a time where there were no Saturday deliveries and no banks open on Saturdays

Just between you and me, so do I. It was just another strike against Netflix DVD account for me
