Netflix Change...

In addition to the price increase that will drive me away, they keep monkeying with what is, and what is not available for streaming. One week, a movie is streaming, the next, it's not. Plus, too much older shows that ARE NOT streaming, but should be. A price increase would put their service out of my "need to have" category!

All of this.

I got the email today. This is their second substantial price increase in less than a year. I'll dump the streaming part in a few weeks (once I finish watching the Battlestar Galactica series). The problem with their streaming service is there's nothing current on it. It's mainly older movies and productions, and even then it's pretty limited. Just not worth the added cost to me.

I read an article on CNN yesterday about this.
The reason is Studio's, like Sony dictate that once a certain amount of people have downloaded a particular movie, then it must be removed.
Its in their contract with Netflix, and we are going to start seeing this more and more. Here is the article if you are interested:
