I dropped my subscription when they raised prices.

Just re upped... seems like they don't have as much stuff available to stream. I only found a handful of newer movies added since I canceled.

Subbed for seasons 2-3 of Breaking Bad though... and after not having it, and getting it back it still seems like a really good deal for $8 a month.

I never dropped my subscription. One blu ray at a time with unlimited streaming is costing me ~$20 a month. Still seems like a decent deal to me, but I stream episodes of something or other nearly every day and go through 6-8 blu rays per month.

I never dropped either. I still think its a pretty good deal. I even kept the DVD side of it. Its amazing for childrens content as well.

$8 is a deal IMO. I'm watching Ax-Men currently. Check out Dear Zachary if you're in the mood for a good documentary. I watched all of Breaking Bad on Netflix and got my wife hooked on the show as well.

I've had streaming only for a few years now, so the price increase didn't really affect me. I haven't dropped my subscription since I still have a ton of stuff in my queue that I want to watch.

i have the streaming only plan. netflix is like herpes, you can't get rid of it. the selection sucks but there is enough to make the $8 a month worth it

I subscribed to the blu ray plan then dropped it all. Then resubbed to streaming only and finally dropped them completely 6 months ago. If I came back, it would likely be the same stuff they had when I was a subscriber.

so the selection sucks, but it's worth it? interesting

It's like Old Country Buffet. If you go looking for a single, exquisite plate of food, it's not worth it. But for decent filler material, $8 gets you a whole lot.

Yeah, and their TV series collection is pretty decent, which is probably 90% of what I watch on streaming.

They also occasionally get some decent movies such as True Grit, which is available right now. Some good classics like Office Space can also be found.

Also good for documentaries, and comedy, such as Louis C.K. Hilarious, which was just made available.

I dropped it before the price changes since I never used it but now that my wife is babysitting a lot she wants it back for all the kid shows. I think Ill get just the streaming service since any movie I want to see, we will go the the theatre that she manages. The owner is really cool so he will get movies that we want.

I stopped subbing to Netflix a few years ago when I moved and just ended up with cable. Liked Netflix, but just didn't want to spend the money on it at the time (package deal with cable was really, really cheap).

Probably going to ditch the cable and go back to Netflix shortly, though.

I love Netflix. I just have the streaming account, and it's well worth the monthly charge. I can always find something to watch. Hell, I pay Comcast over $100/month for 150 channels of ads and crap reality shows.

I honestly only keep Comcast for sports and the kids like their Disney/Nickelodeon/etc

It's worth eight bucks is what they're saying.

For $8 can't even get you a decent back alley hummer anymore . . . or so I'm told. :whiste:

I am redboxing movies and watching the free TV whatever is available on Amazon Prime, happy till now, didn't feel the need to go back to Netflix yet. Not to say that I will not go back, I might, 6 - 8 months down the line once I run out of Amazon stuff... but for now I am happy with what I have!
