Stupid Netflix
Really Netflix? You’re splitting DVD’s into it’s own company called Qwikster? I was okay with the prices going up, but splitting the company?
A) It’s a stupid name.
B) I don’t want to have to maintain two queues.
C) I’m okay with paying for the joint subscription even though I don’t use my DVD’s all that frequently. Splitting the services is going to make me more likely to cancel my DVD plan.
D) I like the combined queue that let’s me know when things that are in the DVD track become available for streaming.
E) How can you afford all of the things you have on streaming, if the revenue from slacker DVD renters isn’t covering part of the costs? I want the selection to grow, not shrink.
The only positive from this, is that it looks like they may be adding video games to their rentals. Now, if this is integrated, that is cool. If this is another separate, or higher charge, not cool.

Games will be an additional charge, similar to getting bluray instead of dvds.

On the Netflix blog, the CEO compares Netflix to AOL & Borders, companies “great at something”. Way to associate your company with failure!

I read the Netflix email and I’m worried the CEO might start showing up outside customers’ bedroom windows blasting “In Your Eyes”.
