    Has it started yet? Netflix gets their first real competition....
    After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

      Right, it seems like the price is similar to the $8 Netflixs and you get a benefit in shipping. I am sure the movie selection is not a good as Netflix instant watch.

        Which I don't find to be all that great. Though it has to get better soon because I hear soon it will be the only way to use Netflix, no more DVD's through the mail.
        Some people say winning isn't everything. I say those people never won anything.

        Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.

        The last thing I want to do is hurt you...but it's still on the list.

        Some people are like Slinkies, they are not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

          Not soon, but eventually.

              Amazon Prime on its own kicks ass. Free two day shipping , $3.99 next day and no taxes. Only thing on the streaming is it appears the only stream on the roku right now. We have a 360,PS3,Wii and Apple TV2 so I think my wife would hassle me if I added another.

                it totally makes sense for Amazon to enter the movie viewing space. I think Netflix, Amazon & Apple will duke it out over the next few years for supremacy, but it will all amount to distribution. Would people want to pay $79 upfront for movies -- meaning they have to commit to a full year -- or $7.99/month and be able to opt out at any time?

                It's a good shot over the Netflix bow, but Amazon has a ways to go to compete here.

                  Google TV and the newer Tivos, too.

                    Two months after riling customers with a big price hike, Netflix (NFLX) has upset them again by announcing it plans to split off and rename its DVD business.

                    The new changes disclosed Sunday night mean that customers who subscribe to both Net-flix's streaming video and its DVD service, now called Qwikster, will soon have to log on to separate websites and will get separate bills for the two services. The websites will also have separate systems for rating movies.

                      I think Papa Deuce outta sell his stock in Netflix real fast.

                      I'm pretty annoyed by this change too.

                      I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

                          lately netflix is like a how to guide about making all the wrong decisions.
