netflix users

The future for Netflix is going to be tough because the movie studios are trying to strong arm them into paying very high fees to stream their content. I doubt HBO will release their shows to Netflix. The service is pretty reliable but they just will not get very many first run movies quickly. For the 8 bucks a month that I pay for streaming, it is a pretty nice bargain.

...added to queue. :)

btw, War of the Arrows is on Netflix. When I searched for Shaolin, it popped up as recommended based on my search.

Oh, I didn't see it on there. Sweet. Shaolin is awesome. I will check out War of the Arrows today, or sometime this weekend.

See if The Raid: Redemption is on there. Seriouly the best action/martial arts movie I've seen in my life. The fight scenes are UNREAL.
 
Here is my assessment of Netflix streaming exclusive service - if you are willing to accept a B- service for $7.99 a month its a good deal. If you expect a $50 value for $7.99 its a bad deal.

Netflix is worth it to me, it doesn't have everything I want but it has enough. It's not expensive at 7.99 and I share my account with a friend and my brother and I have never ran into issues of "too many devices using your account". When you consider people with a family can share it with their children and spouse that is what makes it a great deal. It has tons of kids programming so that is where the program excels, $7.99 a month to keep your kids entertained is a bargain for many of you I am sure.

Plus it supports a company on the rebound, the entertainment industry needs netflix (pumps over a billion a year into the industry, more than hbo) and people like me who would just be torrenting everything otherwise makes this a great way to pump some money into the industry. Few people would consider this as something that matters but to me it does. Plus with it beginning to produce original programming and revive dead shows (arrested developmental and the rumored revival of Jericho) it will begin to serve a role about as crucial as HBOs' in the industry.

Sure its' cool to support the runner ups in Hulu Plus or Amazon Prime but Netflix will serve everyone best if it is a juggernaut, it will produce more shows and get more licences for streaming. The online streaming industry is one were competition is bad, Fox provides its programming to Amazon Prime but not Netflix, other studios and networks to netflix not amazon prime. Who loses? Both sets of customers. If everything was in one place on Netflix and all the money ran through them it would allow the customer to get a much better product and with that it would continue to grow and feed more into the industry. Netflix has the potential to have 100m subscribers and pump 6b+ a yr into the industry but to do so it needs to be a monopoly.

Unlimited streaming for $7.99 a month is worse than paying for everything you want to see?

I think you are missing a big logical point. I have Netflix AND I can purchase individual content from other providers. I have MLB.tv, Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon, Crackle (Free), Google Movies and TV, plus a boat load of other things.

You are comparing Apples to Oranges. For $7.99 a month, Netflix is awesome. iTunes (or other outfits) don't offer what Netflix does and Netflix does it much cheaper.

Yep, I've watched all four season of Breaking Bad just a before I started the Star Trek Voyager seasons. Of course, they don't have season five, so I will just have to wait until they do to catch up.

Just started "Far Point Station" the other day. STV was the only show in which I can remember seeing the premier episode.

I'm almost finished with season three of Voyager. (Watched "Real Life", episode 22 of season 3) I have I believe four more seasons to go and I'm already excited about moving on to STNG after that. hah I think I have 10 years worth of those seasons to go throw.

I'm enjoying the Voyager seasons so much that I would gladly pay $30+ this month just too continue watching all these episodes.
 
I only watch it sparingly, but my kids watch it a ton. It is a good value for the price and I have pulled it up on my phone many times to keep my five year old from blowing her stack when we have to wait in restaurants, etc.
 
Their really aren't any good movies in the basic 7.99 a month package plan. (that you most likely haven't seen) What makes Netflix worth it though is upgrading to the Unlimited DVD package for 11.99 a month (it's what I have) These movies can't be watched from your computer they mail you a DVD. You can order as many DVD's as you can watch per month. You can only have one DVD checked out at a time but as soon as you mail a DVD back they will send you a new one. It takes two days to get a new dvd and with the the "Unlimited Package" your selection of movies is much larger than the basic account.

Its real good if there is a TV series you want to catch up on. My nephew uses my account all the time and can watch it from his X-Box.

really? They dont have many movies as far as I can tell, am I doing something wrong? I've found the selection to be next to nothing in the play from the net for free part of Amazon whereas I have watched a to of movies and sitcoms from Netflix. I dont think they suck at all and have been very happy with the 8 bucks I pay a month for the on demand movies
 
Are you also getting the dvds on the free trial? When I signed up for the free 30 trial I had both the dvds (and blu-rays) and streaming. It was still free for 30 days even with the dvds.

After the 30 day free trial I just wanted to do one (either streaming or dvds) at a time for $7.99 a month. The last time I asked netflix about this the person said you can change it from streaming to dvds or dvds to streaming one time during the 30 days. After my free trial I have only had streaming but I do plan to have the dvd plan at times also.
 
I have both the streaming and DVD by mail. I find a lot of stuff on streaming to watch (or rewatch). They do get a lot of low(er) budget, straight to DVD for streaming right away if you are into those things. I go to my local Family Video, walk the new release wall and make notes of those type of action movies, come home and add them to my queue.
 
Me and the family love the streaming, we gave up the DVD option if we need a DVD we hit Redbox
