Okay, I have Netflix Instant Streaming(the one for the computer, consoles, mobile devices, etc), and I have to admit that the lack of decent movies(old or new) is really starting to get frustrating.

Reason: Every single time I want to watch a good movie such as Star Wars or LoR, I then go look it up on Netflix Instant Streaming; however I quickly find out that those movies and many other popular movies are only available via DVD Mail In. And unfortunately for me, this is a separate service, and I already pay about 8 dollars a month for Instant Stream(I know it doesn't seem like much, but it does add up over time) and I'm still unable to view certain movies unless I pay an additional amount of money for a service that should already been included with the Instant Streaming. Now don't get me wrong, the TV shows are great but still I want to be able to watch movies that I've actually heard of before and not low budget flicks that have never made it to the big screen. Also keep in mind that it's not impossible for Netflix to bring this feature back because last I checked, their fanbase was pretty satisfied with being able to access both the DVD mail in and Instant Streaming with the same price, and was also happy about being able to watch good movies with the Instant Stream. Not to mention, Netflix actually started losing money when they announced that they were separating the services.


tl;dr Netflix should return to offering both DVD Mail In and Instant Stream as one service with one price or at the very least, bring back good movies to Instant Stream.

+1 for you good sir.

I think they shouldn't take movies out of their play list after it's been put up. I think it's a way to get people to subscribe to their delivery system thingy...

I'm fine with them wanting to keep certain movies as exclusives for their DVD Mail service, but they when they separated the two services they took a lot of movies off of Instant Streaming.

Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

I mainly get my TV show fix from Netflix. If there's a really good movie I want to watch multiple times, I fork out some dough for a Blu-ray copy.

It's how they get people to subscribe to both.
