Just read a piece in WSJ. Netflix made a decision that was right up there with the Coca-Cola fiasco and now they are paying the price.

At this rate, maybe it will lead to a price decrease?

Part of the problem was a lot of people don't want to watch an entire film on a PC and aren't set up to stream to their television sets.  The other part of the problem is that people who want to watch the latest releases or even classic catalog releases are going to have difficulty finding something to watch in Netflix's streaming catalog.

Exactly...and now they are really paying for their mistake.  Redbox here I come...

J/K...don't really care, it is still a decent deal for both, but wouldn't mind seeing a price decrease.

The bad part is that Netflix is still a really good value. This will all go down in the business textbooks as an example of another epic PR bungle.

And the working stiffs will get the sack and the Fat Cats (the ones who bungled the whole thing) will get Golden Parachutes.  Business as usual in America.
