Lisa Wrote:I think another problem is that Netflix was basically undercharging for their service. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. However, they probably SHOULD be charging more for the unlimited streaming, so it's weird to me they didn't raise the price of that. Their business model seems all messed up right now.
Yep. The thing I found the strangest about this decision was how little sense it seemed to make as far as a strong business model. You would think they could have come up with some mixed type offers rather than a hard "either, or" like they did. Maybe a mix of 1 DVD out and 5 streaming movies a month or whatever. Instead, they come out, talked down to one of the loyalest customer bases and offered up a couple rigid, no flexibility plans.
And the reply from one of their VP's yesterday was pretty freaking condescending, something along the lines of "It is only around $6 dollars more a month, that is a couple lattes for people, they can absorb that....".
