Netflix Lowers Rates

[mrtonguetwista]

SAN FRANCISCO -- Online DVD rental pioneer Netflix is lowering the price of its two most popular subscription plans by a dollar a month.

It's giving up millions of dollars in revenue in an attempt to regain the upper hand against arch-rival Blockbuster.

The price cuts take effect Tuesday and match the fees charged by Blockbuster for similar online-only services.

The latest changes will have a big impact on Netflix's finances because the price reductions are being made on the company's two most widely used plans.

Netflix's stock price has already dropped by 24 percent so far this year amid worries about tougher competition from Blockbuster and video downloading services.

Fuck blockbuster....the reason I have netflix is SO I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE STORE....Wtf would I go to blockbuster for 1 free rental? If I'm going to use my gas to rent a movie, I may as well go to mickey d's and get food and rent a redbox movie for a buck!

I have never liked blockbuster as a company! Hollywood video is better than blockbuster if you have to go to a video store, and netflix shits on blockbuter for online rentals

Even with the lowering of the rate, I still pay less on my netflix subscription for the 3 rental at a time plan.

I'm going to be paying $3 per month more for blockbuster once I switch over. There was only about a dozen or so movies that Netflix had that Blockbuster didn't that were in my queue. Blockbuster had about 3 that Netflix didn't.

Only reason I'm changing services is because there is a blockbuster real close. If there was one more than 5 min. drive away I'd be staying with Netflix.

This will be the first time I've used Blockbuster in about 10 years after boycotting them on movie rentals.

The thing I like about taking it into the store is that it's checked in RIGHT THEN. Then you next movie gets mailed to you. Otherwise you have to mail the movie out, the next day they get it, then they mail it to you. For me, it's faster to do it that way PLUS, you can pick up any movie you want to watch IF you want to watch a moive. Otherwise, drop it off and your done. If you don't want to take it back to the store then don't, but with blockbuster you have more options. Also, the free movie/game rental every month...I use that for a game, i get enought free movies as it is.

Blockbuster was taking too long for me to receive my next movies. I would mail them back on Monday after having watched them over the weekend and I would be lucky to receive my next movie by Friday. I don't know if it was the postal service or what. So now I have Netflix and if I mail it out on Monday, I have my next movie by Wednesday.
