So I just canceled my Netflix instant... did you?

I just hate movie theaters.

I dropped to just the two bluray a month plan. I almost never streamed because there wasnt that much content and it wasnt HD (on a 65" LCD with a sound system in a theater setup).

I use the bluray option to replace theaters because I live in Atlanta and "people" are always yelling at the screen.

[Jand3rson]

Never had one. Torrents FTW.

I canceled my DVD subscription back when they first made the announcement that they were separating the plans (before word of the Qwikster thing).

Most movies I want to see, I see in the theater. I love the theater experience and there is the social aspect as well. I mainly use Netflix for streaming TV shows which they are adding all the time.

I cancelled both recently...got DirecTV plus they have a crappy streaming selection now. Even then, I was pretty bad at utilizing the DVD service. If I do need to watch a movie...I'll pay 4 bucks a pop through Zune on XBL if I need to...I rarely rent so thats good enough.

I'm canceling the streaming for now. I've also reduced my BluRay discs from 4 a month to 2.

I've been using Hulu Plus for TV back seasons and HBOgo for streaming movies. I'm probably going to sign back up for streaming when I get my Asus EePad. Not totally sure yet though, been considering setting up a secure server on my htpc to stream the movies I have ripped on to my hdds. If I decide to go that route then I'll probably not get Netflix streaming again.

I canceled it all... I liked them both but I am broke all the time too, so every little bit helps. I tried the Hulu Plus thing for a little bit back when I had a Roku... I was pissed when I saw that it had commercials. I am not paying $10 a month or whatever it was to have commercial in my streaming TV episodes. It I want to watch commercials I will just watch the episode on the networks site.

I have a DVR connected up to the TV with comskip, so I don't watch commercials unless I am watching something live!

I have plenty sitting in investment accounts not to mention a couple of traditional pensions, dont worry about me and where I put my money ;)

Not worry so much as just information. Take it or leave it.

10 K sitting "stagnant" in a checking account? Really ? That makes you feel good? Checking account interest is negligible at best and even a low rate Money Market account with 10 K invested and left in just the sweep account (the area where the money is not invested in a fund or funds) pays much better than a checking account.
Oh ING Direct typically has a better rate that banks checking account interest rates on their ATM connected accounts. So 10 K can be readilly accessable and still gain a better interest rate.

if you've got little kids, netflix streaming is priceless.

the DVD service - I'll probably keep. it's nice to have for the workout room (only a DVD player). I don't think the $15 a month is going to break me. I don't have traditional cable TV anyway.

I am a nervous fucking wreck and just plain pissed off all the time if I have a dime less than 10k in my checking account. How the fuck can you stand to have 5 bucks in it????? Really honest question

I used to be poor all the time, even then if I had less than 1k I was pissy, I dont want to be that way again.................

Funny that this topic pops up one day after I cancel the DVD portion of my subscription! I cancelled the DVD portion and kept the streaming portion. I stream to my Xbox 360 that feeds my big screen so it works pretty well. The selection is fine for what I am after currently. I do the RedBox rental for DVD's as I am at the market nearly every day.

It works for now and I may pickup Hulu and drop Netflix if I can find a suitable way to get Hulu to my Xbox 360 so I dont have to recable all my connections to another device that feeds the big screen.

Used to Love Netflix as they were a company that actually listened and acted (price reduction in the past) to its clients - now Im "iffy" about their service as they tend to now be profit mongering.

I was flat broke (less that $5 in my checking account) so i had to cancel last week. not missing it.

I guess for me since the only reason I got Netflix in the first place was for movies I didn't think twice about canceling instant once it wasn't as cheap. Now I'll just enjoy their BR DVDs by mail 28 days later than redbox and blockbuster.
