I love how these companies come up with ideas and when customers do what they ALWAYS do with deals like these, the companies whine. Duh, what did Netflix expect?

If Netflix has such a problem FULFILLING ITS LEGAL OBLIGATION to the CUSTOMERS who signed up for its program, maybe they should just fold and return to letting customers rent dvds at Vid store outlets instead of having this mailing program.

Sounds like Netflix needs a major THUMP ON THE HEAD. I'll continue renting mine (infrequent renter) when I feel like it, no contracts, no deals.

NetFlix isn't whining, this guy is whining. NetFlix is just handling a business situation.

They are fulfilling their legal obligation. Their job is to send movies, they do that. Somebody is always going to have to be at the back of the line, it's the nature of lines, nothing illegal about coming up with a method to deliberately pick who goes there.

back in the days of book clubs, i would get the introductory deals and quit as soon as i had ordered the minimum number of books required.
i got banned from book clubs as a result!

Post #7 well said. Netflix is overrated, IMO. Either I buy the classic DVDs that I want outright or I can just rent the favorites at Family Video for $1 apiece. Besides, Netflix is already obsolete. Cable and satellite companies already offer pay-per-view.
