Back when Netflix raised their price by $1, I shut down my account for several months.  But now that they are GREATLY raising their subscription prices, I've shut my account down for good.  I guess their stock price of $250/share just isn't good enough.  Hmm.

Anyhow, I hate when companies forget about what got them successful in the first place.

Goodbye Netflix.
I feel you on this one.  We shut ours down the second we read the story.  I wonder if it will change after the massive group of people close their accounts.

I am streaming using amazon.com now. It comes free with my Amazon prime membership and I find much of the same crap.

Boom! Looks like you guys put a dent in Netflix afterall. Their stocks took a nosedive and data seems to indicate they may have lost around 1 Million customers : http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/1161582248001/are-the-best-days-behind-netflix/?playlist_id=161980.

I guess me signing up for the free trial didn't do anything for them.

I loved that on CNBC today that the goldman or morgan(can't recall who it was) analyst downgraded his price target from $340 to $240...what crap those guys offer.
Nope!  I'm doing what all the real PvPers do:  Scripting everything except the running away part!  I'm real good at that already...

I still voted with my feet.  I'm amazon prime and am getting nearly the same streaming content for free really since I do Prime for the cheap shipping.

Prime here too although I haven't messed with it much. I dropped Netflix DVD but kept the streaming but I really need to get out to Amazon a bit more to see if I can justify ditching Netflix alltogether.

My Western Digital Live Plus Just upgraded and I know have the Hulu+ app...  I'm gonna check out out soon since they release television shows a day or two after they have been aired unlike Netflix you have to wait until the whole season is over then you still don't know when its going to be available to stream.

 I just read Netflix is spliting the company in two now. Netflix will only do streaming content while the branch off will be called Quikster, that will do the mail order DVDs.

Did i mention you'll have to pay for them seperate?

Ive never had any experience with Netflix nor do i rent movies. When i do rarely watch a movie i get it from my cable On-Demand.

I'm so glad I'm done with their money-grubbing service.  I'll stick with Amazon and a company that really looks out for the customers first. 

I liked Netflix disks and their lame internet streaming, but they are going to have to really outperform to ever get my business again.

I signed up for the free trial 1) Because I cancelled Direct TV and their just as bad if not worse than Netflix and 2) Because I wanted to start archiving movies.

Is there a better place I should be going for DVD rentals that I'm not aware of?

Wonder what this  Quickster is going to be like!?

Here's the story. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Netflix-says-its-sorry-then-apf-1912482126.html?x=0

The way i read and understood it, Quikster will only do DVDs and be a branch off company owned and ran by Netflix with a catchy new name. But to get DVDs and streaming you'll have to subscribe to both.

I think they're doing too much changing too soon to keep the business up. I look for the whole thing to tank in 6 months. There's just too many other stable options to go with a company that's going to be completely unpredictable on service with little to no notice.
