Netflix To Lift Streaming Limits

Posted by kdawson on from the oh-my-groaning-pipes dept.

The AP has a story on Netflix's move to head off expected competition from Apple: the company will lift limits on streaming its movies for most subscribers. The story reports on rumors of an Apple movie-download service that may be announced by Steve Jobs on Tuesday. In the past Netflix has imposed limits on how long its subscribers could watch streamed movies; for example, those who paid $16.99/mo. could stream up to 17 hours per month. The limits will end on Monday for most subscribers (except for those paying $4.99 for two DVD rentals a month, said to be a small minority). The company has 6,000 movies available for streaming, compared to 90,000 that you can get delivered in the mail.

    Perhaps someone can find a movie about unlimited stupidity, available on Netflix, that reflects the parent poster's sense of juvenile humor coupled with his lack of intelligent thought. Hope it includes "unlimited streaming" of blood from his head. Anyone up for creating "March of the Trolls"?

    Are niggers not included or something? Bully for them if so.

  7. Is it just me, or is 90000 movies just silly? by icebike · · Score: 0, Troll

    I find it amazing there are 90 thousand movies that (some) people might actually PAY to view.

    There aren't 5 movies made per year that I would invest two hours to watch, let alone pay money on top of the time wasted.

    Your probably simply have never seen a decent, and quiet media PC. But that doesn't mean they don't exist.

    Your uninformed rant just makes you sound like an apple faboi.
