BIGDANIEL Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 I didn't find myself streaming too many movies from them but I could blow through 6-9 DVD's in a week. When they raised their rates the last time I dropped them and went with Blockbuster. I got new releases a month before Netflix and I could exchange the movies at my local store too. It won't be long before someone puts out a better alternative. Quote

I heard Redbox was going to start offering games soon too. I haven't used either one of the kiosks. Is it $1 a day per movie? Quote
Directors John Posted July 27, 2011 Author Directors Report Directors Posted July 27, 2011 Redbox is $1 a day dvd and $1.50 a day bluray. Yes they do rent games now, but i dont know for how much. Most people dont know, redbox has changed their due time from 9pm to 7pm FYI- Also, Walmart is launching a streaming service, based on Vudu.com, which they bought 18 months ago. They are going to be pricey though, $1- $5.99 per movie. ouch! Quote
Nemesis Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 Games from Redbox are $2.00 a day. Just saw it last night at my local Shop-Rite. Blowing Shit Up on my DROIDX using Tapatalk Quote
bloodbath09 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 The instant stream movies on Netflix blows. I tend to just stream TV shows (Weeds, The Office, Family guy, That 70s Show, etc). If I want a recent movie I just go to Redbox. Quote
CritiKiL Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 I subscribed just yesterday to see that they had to offer. I can get better from my DirecTV. I was mainly appauled that they 'show' the movie 'LIMITLESS' (which I couldn't find anyone to go see it with), and it's supposedly 'there' but UNAVAILABLE? Never raise a price on the same old shit that you offer, that's a business-savvy 'no-no'. Quote

xPUDDYTATx Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 i love netflix and hate netfilix for the same reason...tv series. i can watch 5 seasons with no commercials and dont have to wait 7 days to see what happened next. but usually, the last season you can watch is 2 damn seasons behind. Quote
bloodbath09 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Yes exactly. Like I watched all 5 seasons of Weeds on Netflix and Season 6 has been out on DVD for over a month and it is still not on Netflix Quote
IRISH BULL Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Walmart bought Vudu? And are gonna raise Vudu's prices? http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/science/7669572.html I though it was recent. They had it for 18 months. They are still cheaper than Comcast OnDemand and the $2 for 2 nights is a good deal. If you have kids that is. Quote
Directors John Posted July 28, 2011 Author Directors Report Directors Posted July 28, 2011 Also, another thing ive noticed in the past 2 weeks with netflix is- normally, (actual days used as an example only) if you mail a movie back monday, it shows recvd Tues, a new disc ships Tues, and wed you get your next in queue at your house. But for two weeks now, ive noticed your return is ignored for at least a day longer now before its checked in and a new movie is shipped.. to me, this looks like a move to reduce the "unlimited" movies you can watch, by half.

QCNB Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 NETFLIX Has quite simply become useless since they DRASTICALLY lowered the Image and Sound quality for most of Canada... All that because of the retarded price ISP's charge their customers for bandwidth Quote
