"On the official Netflix blog, co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings apologized for the way the announcement of the new pricing-plan was made, and further tried to explain why Netflix had adopted the new pricing scheme. He then revealed that the company will spinning off its DVD-by-Mail service onto a new site, Qwikster.com."
TNS: "With Ronald D Moore at the helm, there are five things the God of War TV series must nail to be a success."
It’s impossible to not see the similarities between Prime Video’s Totally Killer and Netflix’s Time Cut.
A decade ago, Keanu Reeves’ John Wick changed the action genre for the better – and it’s time that the franchise gets its flowers.
I never had a problem with the new pricing to begin with. I mean, I only really cared about the streaming service anyway, so it didn't hurt my feelings one bit.
Qwickster could be interesting if only for the games. I never liked Gamefly and when I was with them, I could never get any of the good games I wanted except for about 5-6 months after their release. If Qwickster can improve that, I'll try it out.
I don't understand what all the drama is about.
people were paying 7 dollars a month. They could watch all these movies online, and get new movies in the mail. The postage for sending several movies out to one person is going to spend at least 6 of that 7 dollars....then server fee's, movie licenses, new lincenses....where is the money coming from for all of this?
People are throwing a fit about the price hike, then turning around and demanding they keep Starz, even after Starz openly admitted they wanted like 100 million dollars for that to happen.
The guy had to apologize for making an effort to keep himself in business. The fact is no matter what he does right now, he is going to get drilled by these complainers. All I have to say is make up you mind. Keep the service or dont, and be quiet. You want more, you need to put more on your end to get it. Its a business.
As for this I actually cancelled my DVD subscription because I couldn't afford it, the same reason I couldn't keep Blockbuster. However since netflix is super FAST at delivering things and keeping things in stock I might get this. I hated Gamefly with a passion because not only did the que suck balls, but when their processing time was literally days.....I remember waiting literally two weeks for them to process a game, send it out, and for me to get it.
I'm most interested in hearing the price to add games and the inventory of games. Blockbuster Online's game selection used to be good, but has been steadily declining the past 6 months. I've not used Gamefly but I recently cancelled my blockbuster sub and moved to Netflix.
Netflix is faster (for me) than blockbuster and the disc selection is far better with far fewer wait times.
Without games I'd probably cancel the disc by mail and go Redbox isntead, but with games - you've got my interest netflix... or qwickster, whatever.
Wow...I can't believe how much conflict this subject can cause. Just reading all your arguements has worn me out. I think I'll take a nap.
