Netflix - Upcoming Release list NG!
Hey, have any of you noticed the latest "No-flix" deal?
The "upcoming release" list has almost no new stuff on it. Usually just old re-released movies on DVD. It is VERY hard to "build" a Rental Queue when you do not know what to add!!
They used to list everything being released, so you just added what looked good to your list. Now you have to search for a title that you heard about elsewhere, and see if they have it! They also seem to be having more and more of the latest titles marked as not available at all...as in they never got it!!
Why are they advertising for new customers when they can not even serve the ones they have now?

That selection is pretty lame. However, with their new Save function, you can add just about anything to your DVDs Awaiting Release queue. For example, today I added Planet of the Apes to my queue, so whenever it's released on DVD, I don't have to worry about it being Unavailable because I didn't add it fast enough.

BUT, you need to know they are there in the first place and I have seen some where you get a popup that seems to state that they never got their order in, so it is unlikely they will have it. I remember seeing this on several VERY popular dvd's.
Also, titles have been out since release...Coyote Ugly, for one. Darn, it is even on SHOWTIME, and NetFlix has it out!!
