SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- —
Netflix is raising its prices for the millions of subscribers who use the service to rent DVDs through the mail and watch video over the Internet.

Under rates introduced Tuesday, households that want both DVDs and Internet streaming will have to buy separate plans totaling at least $16 per month. It's effective immediately for new members and Sept. 1 for existing subscribers.

Netflix Inc. had been including both options in a single package that started at $10 per month.

The $8 monthly price for only Internet streaming remains unchanged.

This marks the first time that Netflix hasn't bundled online streaming with its DVD-rental plans since it began sending video over high-speed Internet connections in 2007. Internet streaming provides more immediate gratification, but typically doesn't include the latest releases.

Might as well go back to renting movies the old fashioned way......illegal downloading.

FunctionTires · 07-13-2011, 04:57 PM

Guess i have to stick to streaming only.

dudermagee · 07-13-2011, 05:03 PM

I think there is another company that gets new movies as soon as they release on dvd, can't remember the name though.
I think NF might have just fucked up bigtime.

VUDU - Rent, buy & watch HD movies and TV shows on-demand is exactly like on demand as you pay $2 per movie for new releases.

WISH ONE · 07-13-2011, 05:41 PM

I know i got the email last night, ironically as i was renting redbox. lol

tricky_ab · 07-13-2011, 06:31 PM

I have been exceedingly disappointed with the library of streaming titles. Not to mention that the quality on the "HD" movies and television shows is inconsistent as hell. The service just isn't doing it for me anymore.

rat240 · 07-13-2011, 06:45 PM

This blows I think we pay 21$ a month (3dvds)
And now their going to raise it again
I used to pay 18$ and now 21$ what's next 30+ dollars
Block buster online blows you have to pay for movies to watch online

you in riverside, here Spot. The Difference.
$1 first movie, 89cents for 2nd movie etc.. bluray and dvd same price.
Thier machine software kind of sucks though, very confusing.

Sad that someone comes out with a killer product, then some asshat decides "i gotta cash in too" and decide to beat you out of a market that you created.. I know its business, but its tough.

word sux · 07-13-2011, 06:48 PM

yea this is bullshit

found it
Zediva
1.99 per movie or buy 10 for $10

Best deal I've found so far, I would keep the online netflix (because they have alot of anime I watch :P) and just buy 10 of those and use them whenever.

LimeLite Racing · 07-13-2011, 07:12 PM

I got the email yesterday. Shit's ridiculous.

onehundredoctane · 07-13-2011, 07:45 PM

Netflix ran movie rental stores out of business and is now at the top of the market.

They make the rules meow. O whale.

BoostSlideWayz · 07-13-2011, 07:49 PM

doesnt bug me.. i tried netflix and it sucked for me. my internet isnt fast enough so when i chose a movie on my ps3 .. it would be loaded half way then when its gets to that half way mark it just stops... and loads in small increments.. plus... my local movie shop has dollar wednesdays and mondays on any rental. i dont mind going into town and personally picking up the movie.

Odysseus · 07-13-2011, 08:12 PM

They never have good shit on Watch It Now anyways so I canceled my streaming, and kept my 2 DVDs out at once and it lowered my monthly rate. So I like what Netflix is doing.

fyneyoungstunna · 07-13-2011, 08:58 PM

fuckin people sometime mate.
Oh well like what was said......internet "rentals" are your friend....

Infamax · 07-13-2011, 09:42 PM

It works out for me, I only stream movies. Anything I cant stream is downloaded instead.

S14kouki_10 · 07-13-2011, 10:15 PM

netflix is shit.

ZenkiKid · 07-13-2011, 10:20 PM

Netflix fucked up for being so cheap to begin with. Supposedly the upkeep to maintain its collection got too high.

Looks like I am just gonna go back down to the streaming option.

SLiDe_WaYz · 07-13-2011, 11:51 PM

Ive had this since 08, there streaming selection has seriously gone to shit I can't ever find anything to watch anymore. And the redbox an Netflix both ran our local movie business out of town, we no longer have ant Hollywood Videos, and Blockbuster got ran off as well. So them bumping the price up it better include better movies and tv shows to steam.

I get really aggravated when I want to watch "House" but they don't have any of the seasons on it or Sons of Anarchy, instead they put movies and tv shows from the 1980's on there which I don't understand at all.

ericcastro · 07-13-2011, 11:57 PM

just when they were taking the entire market over, they wanna open it up for competition.

swiftdrift · 07-14-2011, 12:18 AM

Netflix fails simply because they don't have the first two seasons of "Eastbound and Down". And now this shit happenss?!? I'm cancelling ASAP!

BustedS13 · 07-14-2011, 09:53 AM

something raised its price? INCONCEIVABLE also what is a dvd

*!Zar!* · 07-14-2011, 06:18 PM

Their prices were set years ago. Times have changed since then, as well as costs.
