In essence, the service itself is friggin' great, so I wouldn't mind a price-hike in that respect. I think they should offer a discount for having both plans (e.g. $8 for DVD, or $8 for instant, but $14 for both).
I'm far more NERD RAGEd about the recent change to the web-interface for finding instant-view titles, or more specifically, the callous response by execs when the negative reception was brought to their attention. If it wasn't for the fact that they released their API, allowing services like http://instantwatcher.com/ I probably would've cancelled subscription for that.
While I don't really count this article as a scientific study, your question reminds me of the recent Slashdot entry: Why We Have So Much "Duh" Science
Guffah! Obviously you didn't read Section 1497201-309.5 of the CLFFE Act regarding 3D optical scans of cylinder phonographs!!! Man, that thing is explicit.
I remember in the 80s, Sonny Bono himself managed to get a bomb onto a SPACE SHUTTLE without really needing to hide it anywhere! In fact, he bought it in the airport gift shop!
That's my understanding. In order to be allowed to handle credit card transactions, you enter into an agreement with Visa/Mastercard/etc promising that you won't do things like send account numbers via URLs. Every infraction is a specific, and very large fine. Multiple infractions results in loosing your license with that credit entity. At least, that's on the Point Of Sale level. I can't imagine how it works on the bank level.
I'm glad you mentioned this. I came across instantwatcher shortly after submitting this story. I gotta say, it's pretty impressive. I'm thinking of sending them some money. I really admire Netflix for having published an API.

Or lose....But actually, i like loose better.
DAMN YOU PRINTING PRESS! You and your "Common Sense" made us loose the colonies!
That would require having the original that didn't suck.
Nothing inherently prevents a derivative work from being an improvement...
I would've made a spin-off series that didn't suck!
No comment about it being over 9000 yet. I'm impressed Slashdot.
But with the blast shield down, I can't even see! How am I supposed to fight?

1DVD + instant was $9.99. So for the people who fear the intarnet and thus never used instant, yes, that is a price decrease.
Read more carefully.
You sir, need a hug. It's a pretty good article.
Shame on you. Frankenstein's Monster. Frankenstein is the Doctor's name. He was brought to life in the traditional manner.

Yeah, and imagine a Beowul...ah, forget it.
It's really hard to make socks that fit on guinea pigs.

(well, aside from the fact that he isn't appearing in this film).
The aptly titled, Sir Not Appearing in this Film???
He made a show, called "Eric Idle Exploits Monty Python". Need I say more?
Eric Idle is not involved?? He exploits his Python past more than any of them!
Agreed. For all intensive purposes, its the same thing. I get this alot. Trolling is a art.

I do believe successful troll was successful right there ;)

I mean dear God, this isn't a case for Slashdot, it's a case for Failblog!
