So, those of you that are customers what are you going to do?
Are you going to go DVD only? I considered the streaming a luxury, and used it rarely. But when I did I loved it. To right from a game of Battlefield 2 to a movie without getting up or switching devices or changing inputs was awesome. I depended on the DVDs in the mail for the real, "date-night" type weekend entertainment with my wife.
Now I have to choose. Obviously Netflix wants people to go to the all streaming option which, in my opinion, sucks. You can't get a full season of a show streaming. For example: Netflix is offering a season of Show A for streaming, yet the last two episodes are labled "Disc Only". You've seen it, I've seen it.
So unless they change that particular policy I see no way I can continue being their customer.
Well, what about the DVD only plan? With talks of the USPS cutting their delivery down to 5 days a week, and even more rumors have them down to 3, even 1. Let's say because of Netflix' change in policy I up my plan to 3 discs out at a time, and a year later the post office only delivers mail 3 days a week...where are my discs and where is my value?
Netflix, while I believe can do whatever they want...probably lost a lot of customers and I'm at about the 75% mark of leaving. I just can't decide what to do.
At the very least, Netflix should have "grandfathered" in their long-standing customers like myself (who got them into such a powerful position to begin with) and moved forward with any pricing structure plans then.
Anyway, with reports of people getting screwed over by Netflix for "unreturned discs" (make sure that last disc you sent back has been marked as received on their website before closing your account) after they canceled their accounts, please follow this guide to ensure your safety when leaving Netflix.
