  Netflix has saved me some dough.

  the day of the increase. I may go back some day if the content on the streaming service increases substantially but the price does not.
  
  Until then, I can get pretty much anything I want via BitTorrent.

  Netflix is trying to deemphasize physical DVD delivery. Ultimately they know that the can not compete with $1 RedBox delivery. At the same time they will face significantly higher licensing costs for streaming titles. Seriously, when Netflix initially negotiated streaming rights, the cost was minimal, in some cases laughably so. Over the next 3 years, streaming rights will be renegotiated and you better believe that Hollywood will play hardball. Netflix is building cash in anticipation.
  
  Best,

• Walk over to a Red-Box outlet... - Vinylized 15:17:08 07/14/11 (2)

  get some excercise in. Send a message in the process. Think if enough people start patronizing Red Boxes they'll keep raising prices?
  
  I guess streaming is out of the question - as for me it's a non-issue because as my broadband connection is so shitty, I'd rather be watching DVD's, let alone Blu-Rays.

    No foreign, no classic, little indie.
    
    It's OK if you want current cinplex fodder.
    
    Damn Comcast.

    They need bigger machines! My prime location expanded to 2 machines with just a small variation of selection.

• It's a huge increase, but still a helluva deal. We've had it good the past few years... - musetap 11:25:35 07/14/11 (3)

  and until someone comes up with a better system and plan price wise it sure beats a night at the multiplex or buying a new DVD/Blu Ray.
  
  And just try finding a decent, well stocked and convenient rental store these daze!

    it was a generous pricing model and the turnaround for the dvds is pretty quick.
    
    Hopefully this markup will cover their projections on the cost of getting the rest of the catalogue to stream.

      or stayed the same...
      
      I guess the bundled deal of 3 movies at a time with unlimited downloads has been separated, so we
      removed the download option which we don't use and the monthly bill will remain the same for three shiny (usually...) discs at a time.
      
      This according to my wife who handles the account...
