Netflix cancellation

derf · 09-03-2011, 12:08 AM

Anyone else cancel their netflix account recently? Especially in the wake of the price jump. I just did it, mostly because the 5 or so movies I get a month from netflix can almost as easily be rented from redbox, which the closest one is less than a mile from my house, and a blue box (block buster I think?) in the other direction just about a mile.

I cut back to streaming only, but I had planned on doing that before they announced any of the price increases. Past couple of months, I'd get my discs, they'd sit by the dvd player, and I'd end up sending them back without watching them because I was just filling my queue for the sake of filling my queue.

I did, and told them I'd keep it if they had an app for android.

They do. I have it on my Droid X and it works quite well.

Yeah, they have had it for awhile too. It's awesome to use at work, it eats batteries though, so stay close to your charger.

I cut back to steaming only too. Haven't missed the DVDs at all.

I kept the streaming, but after the deal with Starz fell through this week, I may get out entirely come march when the starz streaming stops. Have already opened a redbox account

I didn't see anything about price increases, but I'm streaming only anyways, and unless it jumped significantly I won't cancel...
