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.

I agree... But I am very intrigued by the offering of games to compete with Gamefly.  I cancelled my Gamefly account because it took a full week or more on turnaround to get a game back.  So I was paying a fee for a week or so that I didn't have a game because their shipping is horrible.  If these guys can deliver games as quickly as they do their movies I might give them a shot.

 I'd really like to see a Redbox type system for games. I think it would do well.

That's pretty neat. I've never seen a game one. Our town has 2 movie Reds and that's it.

They've lost 800k accounts.

The good news: they're reverting plans of splitting the dvd services

AND their stocks dropped 25% today!! Might be a decent idea to buy a little stock?

what alot of ppl are not talking about is netflix's contract with Starz... and Starz Contract with Disney...
what I have heard is Disney doesn't want there movies hitting Streaming World so fast resulting less DVD sales.. so disney told startz that they were going to end the contract unless they did something about it.. so Starz will not be renewing the Netflix contract coming up in the next few months.

I think Starz will rethink everything the same that netflix is rethinking some of its ideas.

There have been some other, similarly major setbacks for the Netflix streaming service. I think we can all expect Netflix streaming library options to become slimmer and slimmer at the rate they are going thus they will continue to lose market share and will need some major overhauling in order to get things shifted. They will eventually get the deal for the Sony and Disney content but it will cost more. I predict that we will see a cost increase in the near future.

I would hold off on that stock because I think it's going to get worse before it gets better! Personally, I'm considering Hulu Plus.

My free trial expired with Netflix that means no more streaming for me and I get DVDs sent to my house. I'm fine with that I'm not really big on the whole streaming thing. I prefer to have the hard copy.  ;)

Thus far 3 outta the 4 Blu Ray DVDs have been duds...lots of scratches, fingerprints and grime all over the Blu Rays. What the hell is going on? No one checks the shape of the DVDs before there sent out? Apparently not....

In conclusion I'm not happy with the Blu Ray DVD service from Netflix batting at 25%. If the trend continues this direction I will be cancelling after my first paid month and be signing on with Blockbuster.

Any other Blu Ray DVD Rental Entity's out there besides those two I should be looking at?

I don't like hulu. For what I need their selection is pretty slim. I purely stream. I have netflix set on a blue ray player at my living room then I have the WII set up by the family room. I have 2 little ones and they are allowed to watch one movie before bed. Netflix has a lot of leapfrogs, babyfirst, worldword etc. I'm an avid indie fan too. I didn't see much of that genre in hulu.

Did blockbuster got streaming yet? I read somewhere they are about to have that service.
