Ah, so now Netflix is going to become Netflix and Qwikster! The fun never ends. ): Now I'll have to maintain two queues on two different websites, plus I get two entries on my credit card each month. Given this change, perhaps it is time to look for alternatives to one or both services.
Time to take a look at Amazon Instant Video -> Prime Eligible, which I already have access to. If it is good enough, I'll drop Netflix for streaming.
Who is running the show at Netflix? They have managed to go from a leading and highly regarded company, to one that is ridiculed, in about two months.
10/10/2011 update: Looks like Netflix has seen the light, and dropped the Qwikster plan. Given the earlier missteps, that is certainly the best move to make at this point.

Netflix
OK, so Netflix is going to increase my monthly bill by 50% after Sept. 1, 2011! I also seem to have lost the advantage of being one of the earliest subscribers. (I had been getting 4 discs for the price of 3.) So I'll probably drop to two discs and streaming, or 3 discs and no streaming, either of which will annoy the my wife and kids. Perhaps in the end we will drop Netflix and go with an alternative since we don't use Netflix much.
So not happy about this change.
