hmmm, I wonder what they plan to do for the people like me that got jacked for an extra $2 a month originally. Which thanks to a phone call resulted in me being on some screwball plan.
I am on a plan now of 2 out at a time unlimited, unlimited Watch instantly with Blu-ray access for $11.47 a month plus tax.
No email for me yet from netflix.

I just got the email too. Definitely better than $2. I can live with $1. Just would prefer premiums like this only go to heavy users/higher subscription plans. At 1 out at a time unlimited, I only watch 3-4 BDs max per month, while some people may be getting as many as 15-20.
So, now Netflix is $2/mo. more than Blockbuster.
Last month Netflix sent me a letter asking me to come back. They didn't offer me any discounts, etc. It was just pure hubris. Damn...even a cheating spouse says they're sorry, and they won't do it again.

I got a priority promo code (URL) to go back to Netflix a few months back. I used it, but net gain was no different had I not used it.
The value of my Netflix sub has increased substantially, however, since they added the 1,000 or so Starz Play movies to their Watch Instantly service and I've downloaded media mall beta software to stream Netflix (Hulu and others) to my TV via my PS3.
The only thing that would get me back to BB is better BD availability than when I left last May and a good selection of freebees in their new download service.
Now I hope they're ready for the crush coming when the Xbox Fall Update hits, because that will be my return to Netflix.
Haven't got an email yet. $1 increase doesn't seem too bad to me though. Beats $2 or $3 increase.
EDIT: Just got the email at 3:30pm.

It's not bad but I have found myself watching fewer movies lately. Since school as started, we'll been doing more things with the kids, watching prime time TV, and I happened upon a Hill Street Blues set. I have the Godfather set I haven't even opened yet.
With saving every dollar a priority now, I think I'm going to leave Netflix for a while.

Im watching fewer because Im caught up. Only 1-2 new releases per week for the next 3 mo's i want and Im buying most of them. Im getting ready to dial Blockbuster online back (Netflix is on one at a time).
Ill prob cancel them both in early Jan when my Vudu box is installed.

The update coming in a month allows the 360 to act like a Roku box and use the Netflix Watch Instantly. Between existing Netflix users trying this for the first time and new users trialing/subbing, should be a pretty big deal for Netflix's infrastructure when it hits. This will be buffered a little by the requirement that you be a Gold sub to Live to take advantage. We're probably going to resub especially now that they've added all those Starz movies.
