Default Re: Netflix Change...

The in-laws use Amazon Prime, which has streaming. They like it and use it a lot, but also use netflix, so I don't think that they have a sense of one over the other. Anyone here use the Amazon service as your only streaming source?

I need to price the multi-DVD service for netflix, since several things that we are watching have multiple episodes per DVD, that would be equivalent to the streaming service plus one DVD. If the multi DVD is a better price, we'll likely drop the streaming soon.

If anyone comes across any trade rags or other good source discussing the motivations for the new pricing model, I'd appreciate you posting a link here. I'll do the same. A 60% price increase in one shot is unbelievable to me, unless they think that they have a captive market.
