The Death of the DVD

I sent in my latest Netflix DVD yesterday and remembered that I have only a couple of movies in my queue. I decided to fill it out to the minimum 6 movies. Hitting up the Netflix site I am greeted with all their recommendations. I find some movies look interesting. I like the fact that the genres and categories it shows me are super specifc. I hate the fact that the major action you can do with each recommendation is to instantly stream a movie.

Listen, Netflix, you know that I am on the cheapest plan and that plan limits my streaming to one movie. Why would I want to stream when I just want to add DVDs to my queue? I just want DVDs. Two a month if I can watch them.

So I have to click on the movie title to get the “add to queue” feature back. Too many clicks. I may have to just cancel.

  1. i get the opposite – it always recommends DVDs to me when i want to stream. Maybe we should switch queues?

    my dvd queue is now up to 85 and the instant is 115. previous Blockbuster fanatic cuz i loved going into the store. but now i prefer being a hermit.

    i need access to movies on my phone on my blu ray player on my laptap wherever whenever.

    just downloaded the entire season of Voltron last night. oh the nostalgia.

  2. Can't switch queues. Yours is too long. I am happy with my 12 DVDs. That's 6 months worth!!!
