Netflix had it for me. I could watch practically humongous selections of TV shows and movies online be it on my laptop, at home, or on my Android phone. And if one wasn’t on that streaming list, I could just have the DVD/Blu-Ray sent home. No late fees and life was great. But as the pic above shows for me, they just changed the plan.
Instead of $12/mo. for 1 DVD/Blu-Ray plus unlimited streaming, they were gonna split it up at $8 each, which meant that it was now going to be $16/mo.+$2 extra if I wanted Blu-Ray option. I get it. I understand that it’s expensive to ship all those DVDs and that they underestimated how popular discs are still and how expensive it is to ship them and process them, but for someone like me who borrowed DVDs that Netflix just didn’t carry for streaming, I rarely rented the discs. Now I am forever penalized?!
You know what, Netflix?! We used to have a great relationship… now you screwed it up for me. So you know what I’m gonna do?! I thought about just sucking it up and getting the (now) $18/mo. plan (which will be about $20 after tax and such). However, I said I’m gonna let Netflix know how I feel…
How do I do that?! By poking where it hurts. My spending that $8/mo. on Hulu Plus. Â You see, one weakness… actually TWO weaknesses, of Netflix are these: 1) stream selection still has a LONG way to go… there are hardly less than 20 Korean movies and 2) the latest/current seasons of TV shows take forever to become available. Â Hulu Plus solves that!
So you know what, Netflix?! Â Go shoot yourself in the foot, ’cause that’s what you are doing now! Keep it up and I might just have to quit you!
When does this go into effect? And how come your original Netflix 1-DVD-at-a-time was so expensive? I think ours started out at $8.99/mo., and now it’s at $9.99, but not as much as yours.
Mine is because I added Blu-Ray option… and it goes into effect in your next billing cycle.
