Netflix Not a “NEW” DVD Rental Company…
I’ve been a Netflix user almost from the very start. My account is about six or seven years old now (with some brief pauses in service) and I’m here to tell you that I’m about done with it all.
For some time, it’s been my understanding with Netflix that if I want to get a new relase movie on DVD or Blu-Ray, I need to strategically send the current disc I have back to the warehouse to coincide with the date of the new release. Usually if I send the movie in on a Saturday, they’ll get it by Monday and send me the new movie that is scheduled to release the next day on Tuesday. However, for well over 2 months now I have habitually been sending old, unwatched titles they’ve sent me back on these days (just like I always used to) only to get a movie that was number 5 or 6 down on my Que instead of the new release I wanted.
Thank You, Netflix, For Sending Me A DVD and Keeping My Dollar
I recently received the J. Michael Stryzinski written film, The Changeling on DVD from Netflix. As great as that is, since it’s the movie I ordered, a DVD was not the format I had requested. I had requested a Blu-ray, because I have a Blu-ray player. I was quite willing to pay Netflix the hefty [...]
Netflix Streaming Does Not Include Columbia Pictures on Xbox
If you were planning to stream some Columbia Pictures (who just so happens to be owned by Sony) movies on your Xbox 360 now that you have the NXE, forget-about-it. It seems Netflix could not secure the rights to stream Columbia owned features to the Xbox 360, from Joystiq:
All of the affected titles from our [...]
Ignored Netflix Classics
We’ve all done it, gotten a classic movie from Netflix and allowed it to sit, unwatched for weeks or months while we watch things like Harold & Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay the day it arrives. We really can’t blame ourselves, those movies are incredibly long, and my Xbox 360 doesn’t play itself.

Netflix Continues to Step Backwards and Forwards at the Same Time
I don’t know what it is about Netflix. They’re a company I love and hate at the same time. I won’t get into it to much here (Jason and I have talked plenty about it on the Podcast), but they seem to do so many things right and at the same time screw up just [...]

The Format War is Over, Blu-ray Wins, Let’s All Head Home
I have been a supporter of HD-DVD for quite a while. I felt it offered the consumer more for their money, but now we need to stop beating a dead horse and call it a day. It all started with WB going Blu-ray exclusive a little over a month ago, that was bad news for [...]
