I understand why they're doing it; and honestly, it doesn't bother me. I really don't use the mailing option much anymore and have been just too lazy to drop it. This'll get me to drop it come September. i'm the same way. i've maybe ordered 3 physical DVDs from them in the past 12 months. i like having the option of going the DVD route, incase something isn't available to stream (which is still sadly so much). however, in the long haul, i don't really use it. if anything, they're losing $2 a month from me by taking away the option.

This'll get me to drop it come September. Same. I'm surprised it's taken them this long to raise their prices. I'll just go straight streaming. BTW, anyone having issues getting their Netflix through their game console lately? My PS3 and Netflix are arguing and I don't know why...

Is Netflix Bubble Bursting As Competitors Pile On? Wal-Mart offers streaming of 20,000 titles, taking on Netflix two weeks after web giant announces price hikes.

Vudu and Netflix are not the same kind of service. That article is just as retarded as the people who are bitching about netflix's price increase.

Vudu and Netflix are not the same kind of service.... You're right, rex. The only threat to a business is a business that provides the exact same kind of service. Look at how Blockbuster was taken down by identical service at Netflix. Netflix has nothing to worry about. I'm sure this Vudu thing will fail because, after all, it isn't like Wal-Mart has decades of successfully adapting and then dominating various aspects of retail. I'm also sure that the drop in Netflix's stock price today was based on people who know much less than you evaluating whether or not this is a threat to the Netflix business model.

Reuters: Walmart Latest Streaming Challenger to Netflix Los Angeles Times: Vudu has been able to leverage the giant retailer's clout with manufacturers to incorporate is service into more than 300 consumer electronics products, including Internet-connected television sets, Blu-ray disc players and the Sony PlayStation 3 game console. CNN: With some Netflix customers miffed, Walmart, the world's biggest retailer, sees potential in streaming video. Thank god we have rex to tell us that all these major news outlets reporting on this are wrong.

Depends on selection and convenience. What can I watch and how can I watch it? If Wally-World can match the Flix on both, it will be a fight. If not, they're pissing in the wind. More than likely, they'll primarily pull the trailer park crowd by streaming Sarah Palin's documentary first thing, in hopes that someone will watch it.......

I bet it's all the same people that allow these companies to stream their content.
Wally's selection maybe very similar to Netflix, much like Hulu +.

And Wal-Mart is skilled at negotiating deals to give it advantages on all three. This doesn't mean that Netflix is down for the count by any means. But for anyone to discount the ability of Wallyworld to take on another company is just whistling past the graveyard.

This might get Netflix to rush a wider streaming inventory, rather than focusing on spreading globally so quickly. Fuck people in Chile and England and Oregon. This is America and we want Ghostbusters ONE streaming, not TWO!

Anyone thinking that the average consumer is tied to type of service more than things like price and convenience is woefully ignorant. I'm sure the people at Blockbuster were telling themselves Netflix was no threat because it was a different type of service too....same with Borders and Amazon.com.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/05/netflix-lands-in-brazil-43-other-latin-american-countries-withi/ Netflix lands in Brazil, 43 other Latin American countries within the week
Netflix promised our friends in Central and South America would soon be able to enjoy the pleasures of Watch Instantly. Starting today with Brazil, and with 43 other Latin American countries to follow before September 12th, the pioneering streaming video service is making good on that promise. Customers in the land of Carnival can enjoy a free one-month trial, after which a subscription will run $14.99 a month in Brazilian dollars. The roll out will be staggered over the coming days, with most areas getting a price point equivalent to $7.99 in American currency and some having both English and Spanish language options. For more details check out the PR after the break and the chart above.

http://blog.netflix.com/2011/09/explanation-and-some-reflections.htmlTo sum it up, netflix is renaming their DVD and Blu-Ray side to Qwikster and they're adding video games. This will probably end gamefly.

So I have Netflix now and it's pretty cool: I saw Jackie Brown on my Wii the other day. That sounds hawt. I don't mind that they don't have a lot of recent movies, but what the fuck is it with not letting people see recent additions? Do I have to browse through the entire catalogue all over again to find out what they added? Why would they hide that stuff?
Apparently there's a way you can see recent titles in the US site, but it doesn't work here.

I loved DS9. Avery Brooks is one of the best actors to come out of the Star Trek Franchise.

Yes! Seasons one-three are them finding their footing, and realizing what works and what doesn't. Season Four is when they start clicking. And then...The War!
