Not happy at all.

They just increased my bill by ~60% (9.99 -> 15.98), I use streaming for the most part and order DVDs when they don't have the movie for streaming.

At this price point I might as well go with Vudu or some other streaming service



Why not stick with the streaming service and get your DVDs locally? Perhaps, even from a local company?


Around here, that means a kiosk in the grocery store. Sad to say, but the selection is even more limited than the streaming catalog.

I really didn't realize how good I had it when I lived a block from Scarecrow Video in Seattle.


I'm still considering the options, but the selection on Vudu is really tempting.

I actually think keeping the DVD by mail with netflix and using another streaming service will probably work best for me, most likely I will just cancel netflix before the change and pay for a month whenever I want a DVD I can't stream.


I don't know where you live, but around me, all the Video Rental places are going out of business.


Try your local public library, it's free.

You may have to wait a day or two for ILL or movies to get to your local branch if they don't have what you're looking for right there. There's also going to be an online listing of movie that are available in the catalog, unlike most of the now defunct movie rental places.
