Who's whining in this topic? Throwing out the GuiGa opening post, this topic has been filled with reasonable discussion re: the future of TV and Movie consumption and Netflix in general, and a couple silly things you've said.

I'm not guiga.

And thanks, it was weird for there to be all these posts without someone insulting me.

Now, uh, there might have been some things I have said that may not have been clear. Uh, let me be clear now.

I'm not whining. They can do whatever they want with their company. My point is that they are now forced into doing this because of their move to charge $8 each for dvd and stream. The dvd rental thing was still profitable, just not as much because of rising shipping costs. People still liked getting their dvds. However, the huge exedus that they themselves created now makes it seem like the rental service is dead, so they need to do something drastic.

If you can even find a non-Netflix place that still offers movie rentals at this point.

Redbox is all over the place, although I've never used one so I have no idea as to how thorough the selection is.

Blockbusters are still all over the place here too, but seriously anyone who still goes there is kind of a chump at this point unless it's to buy cheap used DVDs.

Moths to a flame, with nothing better to do on a Tuesday morning than pretend you all have the ability to troll me.

When are you people going to learn that you don't have the ability to get under my skin? It's pretty obvious I could discuss the finer points of farming and you'd still all cry about me 24/7 as if I care, but how does a board filled with such smart people not realize something so basic? You cannot rattle me. At all.


I think you're going a little crazy, man... like seeing trolling attempts everywhere you go when there are no such attempts. I wasn't calling you a patoot, I was simply suggesting that by enjoying TV/movies and also not being a patoot I can also not whine about this.

OR renting new releases for $2 bucks a day to beat it and send it back in 1-2 days! Saves money on buying and faster then GameFly's "lol only 1 game a week, maybe" shipping speeds

Many movies have 'Blockbuster edits' that are censored versions of the commercial cut, and most Blockbuster DVDs are missing the extra features.

I kinda stopped buying DVDs when I bought my PS3. If I want to buy a movie, I'll buy a premium Blu-Ray package similar to what Criterion offers. Otherwise, I'll stream or download it.

Man, I don't troll. Kevin Smith is what made me want to become a filmmaker and now he's just become a joke. A fat stoner who wants to sit around talking to his friends and get paid for it. Weed ruined everything about him.

I can find 4 places, not even including Redbox's.

My town's got 3 Family Videos and a Blockbuster.

I worked at a Hollywood Video for 2 years. At one point, we had 2 Hollywood Videos, 3 Family Videos, and 1 Blockbuster in Bay City. The only ones that went under were the HV's, and that was over 3 years ago.

he didn't do this
like, at all
he said "user error" which means like, your wife (the user) had an abnormal amount of error when 13 of her 15 movies didn't work

I think, like Kupo said, you're seeing trolling attempts where there aren't any
