In Reply to: RE: Same here. Netflix sucks for streaming posted by pictureguy on May 26, 2015 at 00:24:35:
We've been using Netflix for disc rentals since the early 2000s, well before they started the streaming service. About 4 years ago, they split the streaming and rental services and briefly tried to spin off the rental business. There was a big backlash and they decided to keep the rental business, but the plans and web sites are still separate. A streaming-only plan is $8, a rental-only plan is $8, and there's no discount if you subscribe to both. www.netflix.com is the streaming site, dvd.netflix.com is the rental site, and they don't even link to each other.
Redbox is OK if all you want are new-ish releases, but so is Netflix streaming, or just about any service for that matter. The reason we keep a Netflix rental plan is the selection. Over the last few months, we've rented Fail-Safe, some 80s cult classics from John Carpenter, The Quiet Earth, Hot Fuzz, and Stalag 17. You just can't get this kind of stuff on streaming sites unfortunately.
