Netflix splits DVD and streaming service

Post Reply New Topic

I was one of the ones who dropped them. Redbox and Blockbuster Express are only $1 plus they send me promo codes all the time. Plus I can watch anything on www.1channel.ch

It's the same price as the price change plus the new dvd service seems at a certain point people will be able to rent video games.

They lost me as well, who needs to pay 20 something a month for one DVD and streaming?

Kinda bummed about this, but I'm sticking with them since they have WAY more classic and foreign films than Blockbuster and Redbox.

I've been a generally satisfied customer of their streaming service. But their movie selections are getting rather paltry. With all the hoopla about this part of their business, one would think they'd address this issue.

I dropped the DVD service and if I don't see some improvement in the streaming, I'll drop that too.

I'm keeping both, for now. I don't mind paying enough for the service to remain profitable, and I know that the studios have squeezed them for more money for streaming.

They need to make the bonus features from the DVD's available for streaming online; that would set them apart from their competitors.

I was disgusted at all the changes at first, but then decided to stay with them and just reduce from 3 to 2 movies out a month, and cancel the streaming. But then they announced the separation of streaming and DVDs, and that now I would have to have two accounts. That sucks, so I just switched to Blockbuster and I watch streaming movies for free as part of my Amazon Prime account. That works for me!

Well, I'm sticking with them. I definitely support people's decision to quit one or both and switch to something else. I think it's dirty dealings going on between studios and Netflix. Not Netflix's fault studios are greedy little bastards. Besides I can't find the selections through streaming like Netflix and what about tv series like Dexter through DVD services like Redbox or Blockbuster. Do they even have that? I just don't want to think about switching when Netflix works the way it does so well. It'd be nice to offer us a discount for people who do both Streaming and DVD.

Finally, to the last poster, you may be the only person in all of the Internet who agrees with my position to stick with them. I still think it's a good deal for the money. I use the streaming and dvds both nearly every day. It is not $20 for both, it's $16 for both. For like 21 it's 2 out. I think. I actually upped mine from 2 out to 3, which is the reverse of what most ppl did. Like I said, I love NF, and I get a ton of use out of it . It's like 24 for 3 out + streaming, approx.

Well I gave Blockbuster a trial run, and they screwed up already. First, they sent out 2 DVDs. One of them was cracked. When I reported it online, they said that they would send a replacement promptly. After nearly a week, I checked my queue. Not only did they have the wrong DVD listed as returned, they hadn't sent out my replacement. So, I called them. Then I found that their customer service team is outsourced. I could hardly understand what the woman was saying. But I finally got her to understand that they had not acknowledge receipt of the damaged movie, had the wrong movie listed as returned, and had never sent me a replacement. So instead of sending me the replacement of the damaged movie, they sent the next one in my queue. This one looks pretty scratched up. Since this is only a trial, I will be canceling with Blockbuster. I guess I will return to Netflix; or rather, what will be Qwickster.
