She was on the bed and he was standing up, so it was a bit of a flying Kimchi.

Flying Kimchi- I don't know if that's awesome or scary! I hope Chris is ok, though. For a minute that description sounded like Boomer, until you got to the part where she rockets into the air.

A flying Boomer would be MUCH scarier than a flying Kimchi....And a much better band name.

Hahah! He's got some mass behind him! Kimchi's at least little....

I don't know... "Flying Kimchi" has a certain ring to it...

I was gonna hang on for one more round of discs before canceling my Netflix (there were some pregnancy things I wanted to see first), but I just discovered my next billing cycle started tomorrow, so... *snip!*

I know the new pricing wasn't going into effect till September, but it made sense to do now because I'm a bit short of cash, and since I knew I'd be canceling anyway, made sense to end it at the end of the cycle rather than hope I remembered next month.

I think we have until the 7th but at this point I am done with them. At least Redbox has the movies sooner and they have free codes quite often!

Why is it that (completely anecdotally within my own group of friends) the people I've seen complaining the most about the Netflix price change have by and large been the people who consider themselves conservatives and free-market proponents? I find that interesting.

We're likely to take the price hit and keep both our 1 disc and streaming. There's nothing else out there that offer the combination of convenience and selection that Netflix does for us. If we were to drop one, it would likely be streaming, but I doubt we'd do that. Gotten to used to having it. And we definitely can't drop the discs. Our tastes run too eclectic for RedBox, or Amazon, or Vudu, or Blockbuster, or any other service we've compared with. Too many titles currently on our Netflix queue that just would not be available to us anywhere else. And with our ability to go out and see movies nearly nil, it's important to us to have that convenience and selection.

Apparently Netflix is banking on lots of people like us who see no viable alternative on the market that offers what they offer. For us, it's certainly true.

I was paying $17/month for a 4-disc plus unlimited streaming plan. I've been on that plan since I first subscribed to Netflix shortly after they went into business. It's a plan that is grandfathered and the price has never changed that I recall.

I looked at my rental history. Six discs have been watched in the last 14 months. So for me, staying on the same plan would have meant paying $25/month (and has been stupid for a long time).

So for me this is is a massive price cut since it finally got me to move into a plan that actually matches how I use the service (all streaming, all the time, and a lot of it). I never used Netflix for new releases and the great thing about it was how it finally broke me of that, since when I was in video stores I rarely made it past the new releases shelves.

So I'm fine with it all.

Plus, Netflix doesn't want to be in the DVD mailing business anymore, so to the extent it drives away DVD users I'm sure they're actually happy.
