I have had Netflix for like 6 years and they don't throttle me anymore and after a customer backlash they decided to keep multiple profiles. Those were the only two issues I have had over the years, and since those are no longer issues I'm a very happy customer.
I don't watch many new releases so I'm not sure about the wait, having the huge selection that a brick and mortar store never could is far more important to me. I love the streaming videos through my PS3 and more and more are availible in HD which look surprisingly good. I guess I am kind of irritated that Blu Ray costs extra, but I can also cancel it at anytime so I suppose I could just add it when I want to watch a bunch of those.
There is a few in my list that say wait on them, but they say that no matter where they are in my queue, those are just the ones that have a more limited availability. I will usually stick those at the top so when they do become available they get sent but as long as they aren't they will just send me whatever is next.I don't know how you got yourself exempt from the naughty list as I have also been a customer for at least that long and I'm being throttled. I understand the bluray cost increase. They are literally more expensive to produce and the shipping damage is increased due to the increased resolution.
I don't know bout anyone else, but there aren't 482 movies worth watching...
I haven't had issues with getting DVD's - generally they are in stock. As for instant streaming video, it seems that they have removed a bunch of good old movies that I had in my queue recently ... BUT I have seen a bunch more classic TV, like SNL full seasons from the 1st season on... a full Monty Python TV series... and Heros, Lost, the Office etc...
But I may cancel soon, as we seem to be using RedBox more and more.
Its first come, first serve. Netflix doesn't have an infinite supply of new releases anymore than Blockbuster or Redbox.
If I put an upcoming movie at the top of my queue, they ship it the day before it releases (i.e. Monday).
If I do it two days before a release, I get the same long wait.
Quit whining.
Redbox is cool except for the fact that they carry exactly zero of the movies I want to watch. The beauty of Netflix to me is their variety, if it's out on DVD they have it. But it sounds like you watch a lot of cable TV, which is probably about the same amount every month as my Netflix. I don't watch TV, so not having a cable bill makes it easier to justify my Netflix membership. On the rare occasion there is a TV show I want to watch (Mad Men, The Wire, It's Always Sunny) I have no problem waiting till it's out on DVD then getting it from Netflix.After using Redbox for the first time ever the other night, I canceled my netflix account. My wife and I barely watch movies, and even though we were on the lowest plan, which worked out to around $10/month, it made sense. We've watched one movie in the last six months. I essentially paid $60 to watch Gran Torino, a movie that, while awesome, will likely be available on cable TV within the next six months. I streamed a few to my xbox, but not anywhere near enough to justify keeping netflix.
Inglourious Basterds and District 9 were #1 and #2 in my queue more than a month before they were released because I wanted to see them when they first came out on DVD
I received both on their release date from Netflix.
Yet to receive Terminator Salvation though.
