21. my husband said they pulled a bunch of blockbuster kiosks out of places. |
|
some had only been at those locations for a month even. prices for new rentals went up to $2 to $3 a night or was it 2.99 to 3.99 a night? i figured with netflix changing pricing taking them out was a bad movie. i don't know though. i have never used any of those things yet. I have thought about it though. but that is besides the point. our blockbuster went out a few months ago. it looks weird all closed up. maybe we'll see some local movie rental places open up again. who knows.

29. i think he said the older ones were 99cents and the new rentals were the 2-3 dollars. |
|
maybe a new change. the kiosks they pulled hadn't seen any rentals at all. i would say $2 is a good deal considering how much it was for was it 2 day rental at blockbuster or 3 days? don't remember. As long as you are going to return it the next day that is. My biggest problem was always remembering to return movies on time.

7. It goes down on occasion |
|
As for the price increase, while it's not good, the move is not surprising - demand is up. Ultimately though, I'll probably decide to go with the streaming-only plan, which will save me about three bucks over my current DVD/Streaming package. If I want to rent a video I can walk over to my local rental place and browse the choices in person.

Apple takes a lot of heat for the price of their products, but the stuff does work very well.

17. Guess you'll have to find something else to do. |
|
Is that such a big deal?
I don't understand the price increase either and have already agreed with Netflix that I should be paying less money for my usage, so I changed my plan. It's strange for a company to actually ask their customers to pay less for a service they're happy with, and tell them they should probably go elsewhere for other services.

25. I've been watching it all evening with no problems at all. |

I'm not happy with the price increase, but streaming is still great for me. I'll drop the dvds after next month though since I only have one out at a time.

|
Ken Burns' series on Baseball, I got the notice that I didn't have a connection.
