netflix fallout

Ha mother fucking ha, that's what they get. I cancelled my service with them last month when they increased the price. They never really have anything on there anyways.

I agree, it was good at the lower rate, but their lack of major titles blows. I canceled as well.

The quality/quantity they have streaming sucks. I have the online streaming but it there isn't much current.

more importantly, is the stock a good buy at 50% of it's high 2 months ago?

pull the buy trigger IMO!

My wife and I talked about it and I think we are cancelling.

I would think it would drop again once they release the real numbers next quarter. I'm sure they "estimated" low. But then again, I'm no Warren Buffet.

i think even if they lost 30% of their customers, i think they would make more money with less people bombarding their streaming servers.

That statement makes on sense.

Netflix has publicly stated that they WANT customers using their streaming service instead of renting DVDs. Shipping is their single biggest expense. The problem is that they have failed to expand their streaming library by any real significance and they have also slipped in not expanding their streaming ability fast enough.

[JMAC]

We kept the streaming. We never watched the rentals anyway.

[grove rat]

i can't believe how many people are bitching about the amount/quality of streaming content... it's only 8 fucking dollars!

i had to stay at a friends house for a few days cause he was really sick and had nobody to look after him. since i was off for a week i just crashed on the couch and watched netflix the entire time, never getting bored with the selection. hell to be honest i would pay up to $25 for the selections they have now without a second thought

for a bunch of ballers you motherfuckers sure are sounding cheap! lol

Today Netflix announced that it will split itself in two. It will create a new company (or division?) named Quikster for the DVD rental business. The streaming business will continue to be Netflix.

WTF? Is this company intent on killing itself?

[scootro]

why would you change your trademark name? that's retarded

[Wicked98Snake]

They are also going to offer Video games with the DVD subscription now, so maybe I'll go back. Gamefly never has any new games when they come out. I always get #7 or 8 in my que so I cancelled them too.

[talisman]

Still WAY cheaper than cable.

Fucking stupid move IMO. Got this off of Gizmodo and sounds like a major PITA for us customers (yes I'm still with them).

The two sites will be autonomous, though, so if you need to change your payment information, for example, you'll have to do it twice. You'll also lose some more granular functions, like if a movie is not available for streaming, you'll no longer be automatically updated on if it's available on DVD—you'll have to search Qwikster separately. The two sites also won't communicate ratings and preferences, so while your current ratings catalogue will be imported to both sites at launch, they'll operate independently of one another from there, which seems like a giant pain.
