Although, as a previous post pointed out, they added value for free by allowing streaming. Now they are catching up with adding the price. Quit whining. There are a million posts about this.
So is the Scumbag Steve meme mainstream or is Techcrunch written by some Redditors?
It sounds like one of those decisions that got made by an out-of-touch executive and a roomful of simpering yes-men.
It'll be fun watching Netflix hemorrhage customers and then demand a government bailout.
You bet, it was made by a bunch of out of touch executives of the media companies who fear Netflix and are trying to drive them out of business by raising costs on the product. But, you go ahead and blame Netflix if you want.
You make a good point. And a mean vodka tea.
And you are a fine redditor, a scholar of life's absurdities, and a good judge of cheap booze.
As someone who had the streaming plan only, this changes nothing. I still stream the limited content they had before and torrent the rest.
I agree with this article. Redbox will probably be the way to go to rent DVDs now. I never used Redbox before because I had Netflix but may give them a try starting in September.
Doorstep delivery wins for me. How many extra trips to drop off the DVD you forgot before you eat up the difference in gas?
