    Am I missing something? There are no good movies available to stream. I've found a few good ones but have already watched the 5 or so movies that I liked. What is the reasoning for leaving out so many movies?

    It's called price anchoring to make the other options look more attractive in comparison. The irrational thought is that if I'm gonna be paying this much for streaming movies and they don't have what I want I may as well upgrade and get more movies sent to me.

    Yeah, the new release selection is pretty awful. Which means you have to also have them send you DVD's. Streaming has alot of good older movies, classics, etc. Thats about it.

    I've been free rolling netflix for months now

    step 1: create many fake email adress's

    step 2: have a couple used up pre paid mastercards/visa's with 0 balance

    step 3: enter different and fake info

    step 4: ????

    step 5: profit.

    I dont consider what im doing illegal because im just using the first month free over and over again.

    besides, its not even that great and I watch maybe 2 or 3 movies a week.

    I tried Netflix out for a couple months, but it sucks for wanting to rent a fairly recent movie. Most of them were old b rated movies. It was only 8$ a month but I didn't care for it.

    I'm having a hard time finding stuff, too. This site lets you search by release date.

    I only hope that no WWII veterans are aware of the outrage over netflix raising their prices by $6 a month and letting us know 3 months in advance. That's just embarrassing for all of us.

    Anything on the Starz end shouldn't be a shock. Some attorney effed that up in the first place. Starz never meant to give Netflix the kind of rights they did. They were actually pretty pissed about it. So a lot of the "cuts" weren't their idea.

    Not saying it is as worth it as it once was, just pointing this out.

    Netflix was underpriced as it was imo. Still a great value but they do have to offer more in their streaming area...

    Netflix will probably be bankrupt at some point. I'm so mad I didn't short the stock when they raised prices. Netflix will not be able to afford the prices Hollywood is charging them. And Hollywood is going to pull content from them.
