Netflix Subscribers

Did you see this? Not cool.

Here's a summary, they're changing the plans to the following:

Plan 1: Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs) for $7.99 a month
Plan 2: Unlimited DVDs, 1 out at-a-time (no streaming), for $7.99 a month.

The price for getting both of these plans will be $15.98 a month ($7.99 + $7.99). For new members, these changes are effective immediately; for existing members, the new pricing will start for charges on or after September 1, 2011.

stupid. I pay for 3 DVD'd at a time (unlimited) for like $18 a month. I am thinking about dropping it down to 2.

Oh this makes me mad. Very very mad.

Wow, that really sucks! I just started a free trial last month, and I was liking it so well, I was considering staying with it. Not such a great deal anymore though!

That totally stinks.....DH will not be happy. He tends to stream everything he wants to watch, and I tend to get the DVDs....but I don't see us paying $16/mo for both.

I wish we would be grandfathered in with our current rates/plans & have new subscribers be subject to the new prices. Like most companies do.

Wait, so does this mean that EVERYTHING will be available via streaming? Because right now it is only certain selections, which is why I still use DVDs a lot. But if you can stream any movie, then I guess it wouldn't be a huge loss.

If that's the case, I won't care at all. But from the comments Im reading, I don't think that's the plan.

This. If the streaming selection is much much bigger, then I am just fine with this. I would rather stream. But the current selection is not so great.

I think we would probably just cancel ours, there is not enough of a selection on streaming to do only that, and we'd probably just get movies from Redbox.

I don't think they can have everything available for streaming, that is usually decided by the production companies I think.

My company blocks netflix's website, but I wonder what that will do for gift cards subscriptions. We got a year one at the 9.99 rate, and the year is only half over. I think we might just stick with the unlimited streaming, at least I can get caught up on some of the older tv shows.

leeshab1982 · July 2011

Right now we pay $13/month for unlimited DVD's (1 at a time) and unlimited streaming. So I guess the new plan isn't that much more per month for us. I wish they would make more available for streaming. It's a lot easier to watch things that way.

TheGoose34 · July 2011

Not cool, not cool at all! They should definitely grandfather us in. The selection for streaming is not quite decent, it's pretty slim-pickens so I do a mixture of both. I stay at home so I get episodes of tv shows to watch while I workout, do laundry, etc. I also get DVD's for movie night with the hubs and some stuff for my DS. Urg, netflix!

ballerina06 · July 2011

I'm not concerned, I only do streaming anyways. It sucks for everyone else though!

Candice05/05/06 · July 2011

I've been thinking about cancelling for awhile. This just seals the deal. I have had one DVD for over 8 weeks and don't ever watch streaming....I might as well just through the money out the window each month!
