Netflix fans revolt over price hike

http://www.nma.tv

Netflix users are up in arms! They're furious over the movie rental company's decision to up its rates.

Under the old plan, users could receive one DVD by mail and stream an unlimited amount of movies for $9.99 per month.

Now DVD and streaming services are sold separately at a combined charge of around $16, a 60% increase.

Unwilling to pay more for the same service, Netflix users are threatening to cancel their subscriptions and seek alternatives.

But is $16 for unlimited movies really that bad? It sure beats the cost of taking the family to the theater.

@sonicmandx12 The 'exponential growth of the service' is in the number of subscribers which drives costs *down* relative to revenue, not up.

It's actually pretty predictable that Netflix pricing has risen with its competition in the toilet, but this fast? The price of the most common plans is basically going to double from a year ago. The DVD pricing is now completely inferior to Red Box.

Streaming videos? AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Casuals are so funny.

I'll be over here enjoying "backup copies" of my 1080p movies.

Anyone who thinks the price of netflix was going to say cheap forever is stupid. Wow the price went up so what, it is still 300% cheaper then paying fot the average price of tv which is always full price. If you don't like 10 dollars a month go and pay $130 with directv dish or comcast

@war1231 What the heck! You removed it, and you actually had a good argument!

DARN YOU!

[sonicmandx12]

@express375 No. I did not. I made a point, and expected to bested. Not get this bullshit about superiority. Of course I'm using bad language. You haven't had a good point this whole time. Again. Still no argument about Netflix. Just some cock-waving comment.

[express375]

@sonicmandx12 Oh dear.

Let me explain,and hope you can comprehend.

You replied to me,trying to act superior,when you didn't get any joy you resorted immature foul insulting language(now who's the troll.) As we can all see.

I'll leave you in peace now.Your obviously somewhat insecure.I was just teasing you,for fun,and hopefully teach you..

Your whole body must be swimming in some bad hormones(e.g.cortisol,it makes you fat you know) since you attempted to get the better of me,and couldn't succeed.

@express375 You are a troll. You're possibly the reason people hate nerds. I don't understand why the FUCK you bothered saying anything to me, you brainless idiot. You didn't help this situation in any way, or enlightened a better perspective. All you did was make yourself look like someone who has his head up his own ass so far up that they don't realize how smug they sound. Don't you get that you made no effort to argue your point about Netflix? Whatever, idiot.
