it was fun while it lasted ...

Anyone else get the distinct feeling Netflix is trying to go out of business, and as fast as possible?

Outside the Bush administration, I haven't seen this kind of chain of stupid business decisions in a long time. My only question is WHY the execs are trying to wreck the ship. Bad investments to cover? Twenty-year-olds are running it? Time Beetles attached to their backs told them to turn right, not left?

Yes, and oh God, what are they doing *now*? Heading to Google...


I am on the verge of canceling my membership as it is...

I'm NOT happy about my increased membership. What have they done now?

I was wondering the same thing. That was a bad move for Netflix to have separate charges for streaming and DVD ordering. As soon as I heard I'd be paying $15/month, I went online and canceled my DVD orders by family vote. Streaming won.

In my experience, two different shows can be viewed at once. I've been watching something on the computer and my dad was in the next room watching something else on Netflix. But once I was in a different room and we tried to watch the same TV show and it wouldn't let us.

Everyone is overreacting, Netflix is still fucking cheap and I am happy to pay for it based on the amount of entertainment I get for my money.

I heard on the news last night that they've now opened it up to TWO streams, but anymore than that and you're fucked. I do NOT get this. Seriously, amazon is making a big push into streaming and I heard that WalMart is about to do the same. Are they crazy?
