How much would pay for Netflix if EVERYTHING was on it?

[Wyndru]

With a good connection its 720p quality. Don't know what you are viewing but its not netflix...

I do get the full 720p when I view netflix...unfortunately resolution isn't the same thing as compression though. You can have 720p (1280×720) and still have it look like shit if it is highly compressed. Netflix is nowhere near the quality of my cable's HD on demand choices, and even the on demand is a little less than the quality of my full 1080 HD channels or BluRay discs.

If the quality was the same I'd still pass, unless it was very cheap. I'm not that impressed with the streaming quality, it's too compressed.

Uh... have you seen their 1080p streams with 5.1 Dolby Digital? Pretty freaking good. You can see people's pores. Far better than anything coming down through cable or satellite, and no blocks under motion.

Edit: You need a PS3 for 1080p, though.

I have PS3, haven't seen anything available in 1080p (or anything using the HDX codec for that matter). I hope it is a much higher quality, because the 720 streams look much worse than my cable and blurays on my 52".

Is everything newly added in 1080p now?

Really? I often can't tell I'm watching a stream.

I'd pay 20 max. And that's assuming I can stream all that too.

 

[Bateluer]

Maybe a little more for the streaming only service, but 90% I'm not going to watch anyway.

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

Nothing more than I'm already paying. As it is. Every time I run out of something to watch. They add something new to watch. So for them to have EVERYTHING, doesn't really matter. As long as I can get chance to watch it at some point, am satisfied.

 

[jjzelinski]

The concept of being able to watch what I want, when I want (which to me is the inevitable future of television) is hugely valuable

EDIT/addendum:

Wow... honestly I would pay out the nose for the convenience of being able to watch what I want when I want in a format that I'm already accustomed to (couch+TV). Hell, not only would I pay for a subscription but I'd also be willing to pay for incidental usages much like renting a movie without having to go out and find it.

 

[spaceman]

$5 a month

 

[somethingsketchy]

$15.99 a month

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

If you seriously run out of things to watch on Netflix, then maybe it's sign that it's time to expand your cinema interests...

 

[Cuda1447]

Live sports and tv shows too? Aka, no need for cable tv? Oh shit... I'd probably pay $150 a month. I already pay over 100 just for regular tv plus 10 for netflix. And this would be a huge improvement with all new blu-rays.


Hell, just all new blu-rays alone I'd probably pay over 50 a month for.

 

[jlee]

$50.00 as long as everything was on there.

That's what I was thinking...having blu-ray streaming for anything on release, as well as TV shows immediately after airing? Commercial free? Hell yeah. It would be like having cable/DVR for everything all the time. 😛

 

[darkswordsman17]

$100/month

I think that would be about right, as long as that includes live sporting events in HD. Probably half that without it.

Even $75 without sports (but quality HD level) and $150 with full subscription to movie and sports (so all the movies on demand and HBO, plus things like Sunday Ticket/League Pass) wouldn't be bad.

 

[fatpat268]

If you include live local news and other local and live shows (so that it TOTALLY replaces all other forms of television), maybe up to $100/mo. I'd rather be able to tune it fully ala carte however, so that I don't pay for anyone's sports or other crap I don't use/watch, and then get it for something closer to $20-50/mo.

Pretty much this. I wouldn't want "everything" anyway, let me configure what I want, and let me pay a reduced cost. I wish the cable companies would work out deals like that, but they're rolling in too much money to care from their localized monopolies. 😡

I just checked my ps3 (set to hdmi hd), and when I hit select, it says X-High/HD, which I guess is supposed to be 1080p, but it still looks worse than my cable hd. During high motion or dark scenes, there is blurriness or pixelation. I don't know, my PS3 was an early version, maybe it just doesn't stream as well as newer ps3's or other devices.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Ehh, as much as I love movies, I think the most I'd pay is about $2 a day for netflix.... That's equivilent to renting 2 redbox movies every day....

I wouldn't watch any sports, and they already have all the TV shows that I watch (just not latest seasons/episodes, but I don't give a crap if I see them when they first come on)

 

[soulcougher73]

No more then i pay now. Im not that impatient to wait and my OTA signal is great for picking up the network channels for free.

Ok i take that back. $20 😛 I pay $13 now so not much of a stretch.

 

[Fritzo]

$50.00 as long as everything was on there.

Same. It would be impossible though.

 

[Gooberlx2]

Probably $50-$60 per month if it provides at least everything I watch now. I pay ~$100/mo for cable tv+internet as it is.

I'm pretty sure that's the way Netflix is going to go. The next step would be to offer a higher tier that has more recent stuff, say movies/shows that have been out for only year.

 

[Nik]

$50.00 as long as everything was on there.

Yep! I'm happy as hell paying $8/mo for the streaming service. If I could stream Netflix and they had everything, I'd do as many have said here by dumping TV service.

 

[SlitheryDee]

If absolutely everything was on it I'd pay $75 max. That's about what I pay for netflix + cable right now anyway and I'd be getting more content than either.

 

[airdata]

$50.00 as long as everything was on there.

$50-60 if I wasn't having to pay a cable bill.

That's almost where I'm at now... Got a Tivo and it came w\ netflix. Spend most of my time watching netflix. Only watch TV on the weekends really.

 

[Acanthus]

I would pay $70 a month.

 

[bfdd]

I don't want that service though. I like what Netflix offers. I like paying for something and NOT getting commercials. I'm so glad I don't have cable or sat or any of that bullshit anymore. Paying for commercials = worst fucking thing ever. Yeah yeah, I realize I pay the cable company and the channels/networks are separate entities, but so? Their system should be better. Paying 65-100 dollars a month just so I can have a DVR to record shows and then strip out the commercials is fucking retarded. Al a carte, no commercials.
