I wish they would go full on demand, if the network can't handle it, it means people need to get off their asses and upgrade the network. I hate not being able to watch new movies on demand because they are only available on DVD.

I'll stop getting DVD's if the movies I want to see are available to watch instantly.
I'd much rather stream them down to my TV than wait 2 days for the movie to arrive. Their watch instantly titles are growing but they need to start making NEW movies available instantly. If they can do that, I'll change my service to instant only.

I gave up on disks a while ago.... I had one that sat here for almost a month before I watched it. I really like being able to watch anywhere. It's funny what the haters had to say about the Netflix blog but you all must understand that if they start getting "new movies" out for streaming they will probably have to get in line price-wise with VuDu, Blockbuster, etc which is currently between $4-6. I think that if they can convince members to pick up new movies from their Red Box locations for the interim, they could save a TON of money on shipping, damage, losses, etc, which could be re-invested in updating their instant library.
I'm curious, what does everyone thing is a fair monthly rate if they did start offering new releases on demand? I'm thinking about $20/month is all I'm willing to pay. ![]() |

Honestly, I like netflix as it allowed me to find some very good tv shows that I would have not even known about otherwise (Robin Hood BBC, The Tudors, tons of documentaries), but watching it, or DVD, is almost painful when your used to Bluray and HD Sattelite. So I have no problem with them not offering DVD, I just wish they would upgrade the image quality of their titles digitally, as even running on HD-High, its not true HDTV. And since I dont pay for bandwith (unlimited GB for 45$/month), I have no problem with larger file sizes.
I dont blame them at all for getting out of the DVD mail rental business, Digital really is the way to go for rentals nowadays. I love the Sony PSN rental service. Pick a movie, dl (or stream if you want, but you wanna make sure your 25-50% done when you start), and watch it anytime you want for the next 14 days. Same price as a movie rental at a brick and mortar store (5.99), and true HD quality.

I'm cheap bro... I'm not willing to go $6 per rental. Have you used VuDu? The picture quality is outstanding even with regular SD quality movies. If they would offer a subscription I would sign right up. Yep, I believe they do. |
