Know how they determine who gets a DVD when there's a limited supply? Those who receive fewer DVD's per month get the limited supply DVDs first.. and those that are on "trial" subscriptions never have to wait, because Netflix doesn't want them to know how bad the service sucks before they sign up.

This pisses me off..

Obviously Netflix knows what kind of demand there will be for newer, popular, DVDs. They know how many they'd have to buy to meet that demand. They don't give a shit. It's more important to them to keep costs down by buying fewer DVDs.. because we all pay a flat monthly rate anyway.

If there is an alternative to this bullshit.. I'm up for it.

/edit

Interesting post about the impending demise of Netflix.

Here's how.. Your cable/sat provider offers everything via "in demand" type service, and price it very low. You simply pick what you want, it downloads, done.. No physical media to deal with... Hopefully they get this done soon.

Customer service truly is everything in business. I'm a customer. I'm pissed off. Netflix doesn't care. Fuck them.
