Why has Netflix gotten greedy?


I've greatly enjoyed renting DVD's from Netflix.com on occasion. But I don't have time to watch 4 movies a month (I like to get family and friends together to watch, and NONE OF US can spare that much time every month). I watch broadcast TV, and I go to movies in the theater. AND I LISTEN TO A HELLUVA LOT OF MUSIC on my stereo. The $16 per month "Marquee Program" is just a gimmick to get all of us who've enjoyed renting periodically to pay a flat rate every month, like cable or DSS. They're now closing their business to those of us who would rent 4 or 5 movies at times when we had the time to watch, and then go 2 or 3 months without renting any. THIS IS CONSPICUOUS SCREWING OF THE CONSUMER, and I say: IS THERE ANOTHER GOOD PLACE ONLINE TO RENT DVD'S?? There definitely should be...

I only own 20 titles, and don't feel that has anything to do with it. They're not like music, where you can listen over and over again and never get enough. You can't watch any movie over and over again, without getting very tired and bored with it. So, why buy them, unless the price is way low...like $4 a piece?? AT LEAST WE AGREE THAT NETFLIX IS FULL OF $#!+...
I've been using the Neflix Marquee plan for a couple of months now and think it's awesome. Each to their own ... Personally, $16 dollars per month to rent all of the viedos I can watch is a great deal ... no late fees, no special trips to the Video store, I love it. Dave C
Yes, to each his own. But it's still a rip off if you don't spend ALL your free time watching movies at home!
I'VE BEEN RENTING FROM NETFLIX FOR A VERY SHORT TIME. SO FAR THE SERVICE HAS BEEN GREAT. I OWN ONLY 10 DVDS AND THEY ARE MOVIES I CONSIDER WORTH WATCHING MORE THAN ONCE. IF I START TO HAVE PROBLEMS I'LL POST ON THIS SITE.
I'm interested in hearing from everyone who's used Netflix, for sure. Thank you.
