I have the opposite problem from what most of you are saying. I watch 15 or 20 movies a month. the new Marquee program will only send out four and no others until you have send back those four. When i used to rent i would get 8 or 10 a week and return them within a week. It was great, for me the problem is having an upper limit of four dvds out at a time. i do agree tht they are now not very cooperative about when dvd get returned to them. it's part of capitalism, give them honey to lure them to a place and then change the groud rules once your there and less likely to go some where else.
Why has Netflix gotten greedy?
I've greatly enjoyed renting DVD's from Netflix.com on occasion. But I don't have time to watch 4 movies a month (I like to get family and friends together to watch, and NONE OF US can spare that much time every month). I watch broadcast TV, and I go to movies in the theater. AND I LISTEN TO A HELLUVA LOT OF MUSIC on my stereo. The $16 per month "Marquee Program" is just a gimmick to get all of us who've enjoyed renting periodically to pay a flat rate every month, like cable or DSS. They're now closing their business to those of us who would rent 4 or 5 movies at times when we had the time to watch, and then go 2 or 3 months without renting any. THIS IS CONSPICUOUS SCREWING OF THE CONSUMER, and I say: IS THERE ANOTHER GOOD PLACE ONLINE TO RENT DVD'S?? There definitely should be...
