I Just got this email today. Does anybody know what the pricing will be for the other service levels. Also does anyone know of a place that will be cheaper than this for the same amount of movies?
We hope you're enjoying the convenience and selection of Netflix. Our goal has always been to offer a great service at a great price, and we're dedicated to bringing you the largest library of films delivered quickly to your home.
We haven't changed the subscription rate for the 8-at-a-time program in almost 3 years. We've added more than 20 distribution centers in order to provide one business day delivery to most of our members. We've also expanded our library by thousands of titles and now offer more than 18,000 to choose from. During the three years, improvements such as these, as well as postal rate changes, have increased the cost of doing business.
Beginning June 15, 2004, we will be raising the prices of all our subscription programs. Your plan, the Netflix 8-at-a-time program, will change from $39.95 per month to $49.99 per month.
We believe our service offers an exceptional value and hope you'll continue to enjoy the benefits of Netflix at the new price. We realize that you have many home entertainment choices, and we appreciate your business.
Yours Truly,
The Netflix Team
Doesn't it seem strange that at a time when netflix is going more national (ie commercials on TV, etc.) and there is more competition (WALMART) that they would increase prices this much(five bucks maybe.... but over ten)? Seems like bad business to me
