Netflix

Ok, so let's talk about Netflix. It's fun, easy to use, and pretty awesome right? Wrong...Netflix used to be awesome. I used Netflix for a while, and found some good use out of it. However, I found more and more that it is just ridiculous. 


When I first started using Netflix, the cost was 7.99+tax with an extra 2.99 for being able to get DVD's sent to your house. The package was pretty sweet. For 9.99 total, I could watch unlimited Instant Streaming, and get one DVD out to my house at a time...for as long as I wanted. I'm not a big movie renter, so I would watch a movie, and then be lazy and not return it until I was interested in getting a different movie. 


This worked out great, until they decided to change their prices. Now, if you want instant streaming, and DVD's, they are two separate packages each 7.99. So now, instead of 9.99 total for both, you would be paying roughly 16 dollars! Now that may be fine for some people, but as a college student, I already pay 16 dollars a month for my DVR from Comcrap, and I really don't watch enough movies to be paying an extra 16 on top of that! 


So I stuck with just he plain ol' instant streaming for a while. The problem is, is that they took a lot of the movies off of their instant streaming, and made your "wide selection" not so wide anymore. Every movie that I looked up to watch on Netflix, whether semi-new or older, is under the DVD rental package, which of course is another 7.99 a month. It's such a rip off! The only thing I used Netflix for was for a TV show, and now I barely have time for that. 


Long story short, I am frustrated with Netflix, and the fact that they think the packages should be separate for one, and then on top of that, they take off a bunch of movies from streaming so you would have to buy the other package if you wanted to see them.
