- Reasonable? Compared to what? - racerguy 18:56:24 04/03/09 (4)
  I guess it's OK if you rent one disc a month, and don't mind waiting days/weeks for the Blu-ray version to ship to you. I guess it's reasonable if you ignore the fact that Netflix' major competitor doesn't have a Blu-ray "surcharge."
  
  I guess it seems reasonable to people who don't mind being asked to pay more for no extra value whatsoever. If that's you, I'm happy for you. Netflix needs customers with that mindset right now.
  - Relax. - triiiangle 07:00:44 04/08/09 (3)
    Getting upset over Netflix is a waste of energy. You might need to get out more... Who rents 5 DVDs a month?

      ...you obviously have nothing remotely useful or intelligent to say.
      
      Off with you.

        That wasn't a response, just a recommendation on improving your life. Go for a walk, donate your time, walk your dog, etc. No need to whine on an audio board about Netflix.

        If at some point I decide I want to downgrade my lifestyle to your level, I'll be sure to contact you.
