Netflix Raises Price By $1

[Wangman Page]

New customers have to pay $8.99 a month, a $1 increase needed “to continue adding more movies and TV shows,†the company says in an email to subscribers today. But existing members paying $7.99 can relax: “As a thank you for being a member of Netflix already, we guarantee that your plan and price will not change for two years.†That’s consistent with CEO Reed Hasting’s comment to investors last month that current customers could keep the pricing “for a generous time period.†Netflix learned the hard way that it’s dangerous to mess with consumer rates. The company infuriated subscribers in 2011 when it abandoned its $9.99 a month price for streaming and DVD-by-mail rentals, requiring those who wanted to continue both services to pay separate fees that totaled $15.98. The stock plummeted, at one point falling nearly 80% from its peak, and Hastings apologized for leaving the impression that the company “lacked respect and humility.†He added that he “should have personally given you a full explanation of why we are splitting the services and thereby increasing prices.â€

Now with this price increase I want them to get more movies and TV shows that I want. I don't want to wait a year or longer for the season that just finished like Dr. Who, Archer, I want what I ask for in my DVD queue. So I hope this helps get more content and better content.

We've had this over here too. Doesn't make any difference to me so no biggie.

And if you are new, so what? It's a dollar more each month for a non essential. If you have 8 bucks to spare a month, you can spare an extra dollar.

Yeah, they're not charging existing customers an extra dollar so I couldn't really care less about the increase. That being said, you shouldn't be so quick to complain about the content Wanger, now that I've got US Netflix it's incredible compared to the limited amount of shit we have on the Canadian one.

It's not bad but they just upped and took a show off their streaming section that I was watching which pissed me off. I like the amount of content I just don't like how long it takes to get newer episodes.

Yeah, they did that to me on the Canadian version when Star Trek: The Next Generation just disappeared one day. That being said, I was quite happy to see all the Star Trek shows are on the US version, so I can pick up where I left off again.

They have brought a couple back so I am happy. And I just want to say Tom Skerrit is the man. Watchung Alien again after having seen Promethius.
