    Netflix/Starz no more...

    SAN FRANCISCO – Netflix's negotiations to keep a key piece of its Internet video library have collapsed, dealing a major blow to the largest U.S. video subscription service as it raises the prices for most of its 25 million customers. The setback triggered a nearly 9 percent drop in Netflix Inc.'s stock price

          Oh yeah, there is also this deal:

          Dish reportedly launching Blockbuster movie streaming service next month
          http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/02/dish-reportedly-launching-blockbuster-movie-streaming-service-ne/
          Dish Network already has its DishOnline streaming service for its own paying customers, but it looks like it's now set to take direct aim at Netflix with a standalone subscription service that will be open to everyone. According to Bloomberg, that will operate under the company's recently acquired Blockbuster brand and, in what's surely a bitter pill for Netflix to swallow, it's said to include titles from Starz (which also handles movies from Disney and Sony). As you'll recall from yesterday, it announced that it will be pulling all of its titles from Netflix in February of next year after it failed to reach an agreement with the company. Details on the service otherwise remain a bit light -- including any word of a possible subscription price -- although Bloomberg says it "may" also include on-demand Blockbuster movies that Dish customers will be able to watch on their TVs.

                  Am I the only one that thinks this could be a positive?

                  As someone who uses netlfix, and has Starz ondemand, I'm tired of the repetition. Why pay for Netflix when all the same shit is on starz on demand?

                    Do you feel they could potentially or possibly have something better lined up?

                    It's possible, just asking why you think it could be better.

                      I sure as fuck hope so. If whoever is running the company is worth a damn, there is a plan b and a plan c.

                      Not that I feel anything in particular, I'm just tired of paying an extra $9/mo for the same crap I already have on demand. In fact, if they don't expan their own library soon, I'll be cancelling. Why pay twice?

                          Hell, we cancelled our on demand crap. It's great if you wanted to watch reruns of 90210. I may just start going back to blockbuster afterall.
