I love netflix, tho this price increase probly affects me more than 99%
of their customers. I have six 8-disc memberships. Each of those is
going up $10 a month, so that's $80. But still *very* well worth it. I
mean, I cycle through about 2 full cycles a week, probly closer to 9 a
month.. that's 9*6*8 = 432 discs a month. for $320 a month or so (after
the hike.. tho I haven't been hiked yet).. I'm currently paying
$247.17.

432 Discs added to my collection each month (if you haven't figured it
out yet, I copy em all).. at BB, at like an average of $3 a rental,
that'd be like $1200 and at nowhere near the selection.

Give me netflix anytime. Give me 1 day shipping each way (ever been to
their warehouse up in north Denver, it's a sweatshop =P). Give me an
awesome selection of not just popular, but indy and foreign.

I would pay a lot more each month than they currently charge.. but
don't tell them that. ^_^
