And honestly, after having downgraded to the Streaming + 1 DVD/Bluray service, I think I am going to cancel streaming in a month or so and go back to 3 DVDs/Blurays per month. Which basically means, for me, that Netflix completely failed to move me in the direction they wanted as a result of the pricing increase.

In our case, we don't consider it an "extra", since we don't have any premium channels and can't go to the movies anymore. If we get rid of Netflix, we'd have to pick up some other way to get movies when we want them. Streaming rental isn't cheap enough and doesn't have the selection.

We like streaming well enough and we don't have a Blu-ray player, so one disc + streaming still makes sense for us.
