Yesterday, Netflix announced that they’re now primarily a streaming movie company, and upped the price of DVD rental by a dollar while instituting a new, streaming-only plan for .99. From what you guys know, will Netflix quit renting DVDs and Blu-rays by mail?
I feel that this would be a huge mistake and an over-estimation of the popularity of streaming. Isn’t Blu-ray supposed to be the next thing? Now streaming comes along? You can’t listen to commentaries or watch special features with streaming. Plus, they’d lose many customers who only want or only can rent DVDs (like me). They’d also be in competition with other streaming services, whereas they and Blockbuster are the only two companies that offer mail service.
So from what you can tell, will they eliminate mail delivery? What about Blockbuster? Thank you.
jasonicus–Yesterday, one of the execs at Netflix announced that they are now primarily a streaming company.
I know they’re not eliminating it right now, but do you believe they will EVER eliminate it?
