In B&Ms they're sure as hell substantially more expensive.

Fucking Netflix. I just rejoined and they drive me away again. $4 extra for blu access is bullshit. There just aren't that many...

Baron Of Hell · 03-30-09, 03:20 PM

So cancel the BD part. That is what I'm going to do.

Goat3001 · 03-30-09, 03:29 PM

Got the same email. What a joke. BBonline never used to charge more for Blu-Ray service (I ended that subscription about 6 months ago so that may have changed). I may have to cancel my BD subscript now or cut down to 2 out at time to cover part of the difference. Eff you Netflix.

That has not changed at Ballbuster Online.

silentbob007 · 03-30-09, 04:43 PM

There's no way in hell I'm paying an extra $4 a month just for 3-at-a-time blu. I'm either going to reduce my numbers or drop the service all together and only rent the DVDs I really want to see through a machine service.

jpb07 · 03-30-09, 05:41 PM

I had my account on hold. It made my decision to go ahead and cancel this afternoon a no-brainer.

Mordred · 03-30-09, 08:07 PM

2-out at a time has a $3 charge.

Tarantino · 03-30-09, 10:02 PM

I dropped the Blu-Ray access.

Half of the discs I've been getting have been cracked or unplayable anyway.

mndtrp · 03-31-09, 12:30 AM

I haven't had much of a problem with cracked discs, and I generally get the ones that I want. I don't have to have movies the week they come out, so I'm about a year behind on new releases.

However, I don't have much desire to pay that much more. I'll just go back to strictly DVDs.

Dean Kousoulas · 03-31-09, 02:09 AM

$4 a month? I don't think so. As if Netflix doesn't make enough money per quarter. I dropped my Blu-Ray plan. I'll simply watch the DVD, and read reviews to find out if the Blu-Ray is worthy of the purchase.

nemein · 03-31-09, 06:33 AM

Considering I only had 1 BluRay in my queue (w/ only 2 others having the option -- out of 130+ titles) the $4 wasn't worth it to me so I dropped that option as well. I wonder if this is going to backfire on them?

cpgator · 03-31-09, 08:08 AM

Just got the email also -

The charge for monthly Blu-ray access on your 5 DVDs at-a-time (Unlimited) plan will increase from $1 a month to $6 a month.

Freaking $6.00.

rjholder · 04-02-09, 01:34 PM

I closed my account too due to the price hike for Blu-Ray, plus the bad condition most discs are in. They got too greedy.

DVD.guy · 04-02-09, 01:53 PM

Same here...at the end of my month, I'm dropping Netflix. I'll be giving BB my business.

chris_sc77 · 04-02-09, 06:25 PM

My netfilx service has been the best its been the past month. I love seeing all the people canceling their netflix cause of the price hike. Go to your local video store and pay $5 for each blu-ray title lol. I know you wont have problems finding a copy since it appears no one ever rents them in the rental stores Ive been in.
Netflix was sucking for some of January and into Feb for me. I had many new releases I wouldnt get. But lately Ive been getting on average about 6 new releases each week. Not bad at all for $!8 a month. I'd hate to see how much it would cost at a video store.

This! I have seen a substantial increase in the quality of Netflix lately. I am extremely happy. I don't know what changed but my service has been EXCELLENT!

Xander · 04-07-09, 12:57 PM

My Netflix has been great. I don't do Blu Ray, but I pay what? $12 a month for 2-at-a-time and watch more than enough movies in a month to make that waaaay cheaper than renting. Plus the turn-around time has been excellent ever since I rejoined a few months ago.

Jam Master Jay · 04-07-09, 02:13 PM

My turnaround has been excellent with Netflix, now if Gamefly could get with the program I would be set. That's another story all together.

I suspect hell is going to freeze over first. I'd be happy if gamefly would get their act together another to send me new releases on release day when I have a game due to me. I think the new Riddick is the only the second time since the beginning of the year that I've actually gotten the new release, out of maybe a dozen or so chances.

cornyt · 04-14-09, 02:26 PM

For some reason, Netflix is sending me an extra DVD at no extra cost (as far as I can tell). I'm not complaining, but it's a little strange.

It's probably because the movie at the top of your queue wasn't available locally. It's something they started doing maybe a month or two ago. It's covered either in this thread or in one of the Netflix threads here in the forum.

DVD.guy · 04-14-09, 02:57 PM

I used to get those all the time! "Sorry but your disc was not...." Ever since they started that service, all have been available locally so no extras.
