Meh. DVDs may as well be records. It just feels barbaric to have to wait for a hardcopy in the mail.

Ya I'm done with Netflix at the end of August. Sept 1 is when the new rate structure goes into effect.

For me, Netflix is one of those things that @ $10 a month seemed OK, even though I didn't use it that much. But for closer to $20 (even though it's not that much more), just seems too much. Their streaming content is too limited and not updated enough to warrant the same charge as the DVD service.

Now, I understand that they really didn't have a choice. They had to raise prices to stay in business but I just don't think it's going to work for them.

I just found Quartermass and the Pit on google videos. Was pretty excited.

Torrents (not Pirate Bay, the super-elite private trackers)

Blu ray, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, whatever.

Paying to rent movies

I just changed my account to streaming only for $7.99

With that, plus $7.99 for Hulu Plus, that's all we really need. Could probably kill cable and not miss out on anything.

Are new episodes on Hulu Plus or is there a delay? I am not waiting a week to see who got kicked off of Design Star!

most of the time they're up the following day. the advantage to hulu plus is that you can watch previous seasons of shows, also. we'd never watched modern family, and now we've watched both seasons through it

AbeFroman · « **Reply #35 on:** July 13, 2011, 11:11:29 AM »

Watching Modern Family is such a tuck thing to do. Who knew OK_Cat was a tuck? Poor man's Arrested Development.

i guess if/when the stuff is up for viewing at Hulu isn't really important. their costs will be going up as well and pushed to the consumer just like what has happened with netflix.

Netflix product had been undervalued for a long time. They might have underestimated the viability of the remaining competition though.

Am I the only cheap bastard that thinks that the new additional $7.99 for streaming is a little exorbitant?

Are there any decent alternatives for PS3 users that I'm unaware of?

Just don't get the physical disc?

don't think tucks enjoy modern family, it has gays in it.

also, arrested development wasn't funny. ok_cat's biggest pet peeve is people talking about how great a short-lived tv show was.

Let me guess- Okcat's fave comedian is Larry TCG? Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

i literally don't know who that is, juggaloksu

You seem really obsessed with OK Cat.

Just sayin.

And you seem totally obsessed with me. Just sayin.

Almost as much as starting a thread explaining how he negotiated down the price of some 2x4's this summer to build a tree house for his church.

I think I'll change it up. probably cut the dvd's down to 2 at a time.
