Netflix changes business models … again

"Do you miss your old Netflix account, where you just paid for DVDs by mail without having to stream movies, too?" What a strange statement. Why would anyone mind DVD's AND streaming?

You've been able to do that since the split first started. This is not new. Maybe a new name by calling it "classic." This article seems more like an ad.

This "article" is a complete waste of time. The only reason it was written is Netflix advertises on Yahoo. There is no new information here. I have been getting "come back to Netflix" emails ever since I left with this exact same information in them. Thanks for wasting my time Yahoo.

Isn't this how it's been since Sep?

I'm confused. I have been paying just for DVD's since they broke apart the pricing. How is this new? Or was it that they weren't allowing any new customers to become DVD-oly customers? Confusing article.

I miss paying $9 for both DVD's and streaming...they should have "grandfathered" existing customers when they first started messing up the structure in the first place.

Yea netflix is going to be the myspace of movie rental biz soon with their bonehead decisions.

I don't have Netflix. Everytime I read about them I am more confident in my decision.

Wonder how much the CEO gets paid to make these stupid decisions. Its a wonder these clowns continue to find employment, especially at the salaries they command. Netflix would have been better off without him, and saved a ton of money in comp to boot.

Problem is their streaming selection is freaking awful. Thinking of cancelling....

Am I missing something? Each service cost about 8 bucks a month. How is this any different from what they announced back in September?

I cancelled the streaming because the stream would freeze and the movie couldn't be restarted. Now almost every DVD I get is flawed in some way. This is not the way to run a railroad. Will cancel completely when my list is empty.

here we go again .....if you screw with your customers too much they will get fed up and just find a new movie provider !!!

Netflix would be a lot better if they had #$%$ that people actually wanted to watch on it. Instead, they have stuff that you feel obligated to watch because it is the best of the worst as far as selection goes.

Classic Coke=Classic Netflix.

This is the change that occurred last September and upset a lot of their customers and caused an exodus of long time customers like me, so I don't know why it's being reported again now. I've said all along I would have been willing to pay an increase to keep my 1 DVD at a time and unlimited streaming with them, but was unwilling to pay 100% more for that same plan only with limited streaming.

Netflix still stinks!....they don't put on new movies!!!

reed hastings is an idiot.

When they offer the combined services at a reasonable price, I'll return OR if they get something worth watching on streaming service then I'll reconsider. So far, I've watched some Amazon movies, some redbox movies and some free TV programs via several websites. As noted elsewhere, there is zip new in this offering, and Yahoo proves how idiotic it is by reporting this as NEWS....give me a break!!

I will NOT go back to Netflix, even if they paid me. Too little, too late.......and Netflix should fire their ridiculously STUPID CEO.
