I'm still on a disc-only plan, so I'm operating completely hypothetically here.
Have the offerings for Instant Viewing expanded to cover all of what they have on disc? Because some of what's on my queue is relatively obscure (I Spy comes to mind). Davod ________________________________ From: PGage <[email protected]> Subject: [TV orNotTV] Netflix Price Increase I got an email from my friends at Netflix today informing me that they were raising the price of the Unlimited instant viewing, unlimited (but 1 out at a time) disk plan from $8.99 to $9.99. They also rolled out a new plan - unlimited instant viewing, no disk viewing - for $7.99. I am not complaining, I think it is still a good deal and I am happy with the service. They say this is because more and more subscribers want instant viewing (I guess meaning that they have fewer subscribers to the multi disk at a time plans, and have to spread their fixed costs for shipping disks over a smaller base?). What is interesting though is the report that the $2.00 spread between the two instant viewing plans (one with access to disks, the other not) reflects their shipping cost. Of course I suspect they have padded that a bit and are making extra profit on the $9.99 plan, banking that most people would rather pay the extra buck each month to be able to access the disks. But we would need to know more information to tell. The email references several times that instant viewing is becoming more and more popular, so I hope all of this means that they realize their future is in getting more of those disk only titles available for instant viewing. -- TV or Not TV ....
