shadowkatFrom an email I received from Netflix this morning:
It is clear that for many of our members two websites would make things more difficult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs.
This means no change: one website, one account, one password…in other words, no Qwikster.
While the July price change was necessary, we are now done with price changes.
We're constantly improving our streaming selection. We've recently added hundreds of movies from Paramount, Sony, Universal, Fox, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, MGM and Miramax. Plus, in the last couple of weeks alone, we've added over 3,500 TV episodes from ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, USA, E!, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, ABC Family, Discovery Channel, TLC, SyFy, A&E, History, and PBS.
We value you as a member, and we are committed to making Netflix the best place to get your movies & TV shows.
Respectfully,
Netflix
I almost feel sorry for them - except that they have a bit of an monopoly on the DVD by mail/streaming biz model. And they've driven Blockbuster almost out of business (which was not a bad thing - I did not like Blockbuster). There are still a few Video Stores around though - saw two the other day. They aren't Blockbuster though. Our Blockbuster video store became a grocery store finally.
