[BC] Netflix

[Alex Hartman]

I just got an email from Netflix saying they're raising all the plans by $1. So the $8.99 plan is now 9.99 (for instant streaming + 1 DVD out). It's $9 for instant stream only.

I myself did this years ago. I got rid of cable TV at $100/mo kept my internet connection and stream netflix and a few other services that are a grand total of about $20/mo. I still spend the money, but it's on my terms. Like iTunes rentals at a few bucks each, or PS3 store for a few bucks, but if i'm busy that month, i don't spend it. Nor am i paying for crap i don't watch.
