“Quikster will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Netflix and will be lead by Andrew Rendich, who has been in charge of the disc rental portion of Netflix for four years. Customers will use a different website for each service and the two will not be integrated. Customers that use both services will see two charges on their credit cards, one from Netflix and one from Quikster, although the total fees will remain the same.” Thoughts on this whole Qwikster thing?

  3. guywiththeguitar answered: corporate suicide.
  4. lemmiecaution answered: It’s part of the game plan to force consumers to ditch DVDs for the total IntelProperty control of streams-no borrowing sharing etc
  5. mementoviveretamale answered: I really don’t like how we now have to go to two different sites. I don’t even mind paying more.
  6. justintv23452 answered: Cd,s i ment to die, but this was far to soon 5-8 years to soon, i would kick the Ceo out
  7. edmundxwhite answered: whatever, dropped dvds when they upped the price
  8. blondeamazon143 answered: keep them together, what a mess…. no one wants to see more charges ANYWHERE!! consolidate dang it!
  9. merty answered: I think it’s weird and don’t understand why they’re doing it.
  10. kidelo answered: Since I stream only anyway, this hardly affects me. Yet.
  11. brcdncn answered: Ploy to cover that BS price increase.
  12. girlfilibustered answered: Personally, I’m willing to stick with both. But I am pretty sure there are hundreds of subscribers that are going to drop the service.

  14. sutt answered: They’ve streamlined the service I care about and cut the fat onto another plate for people who want it. I don’t see what’s wrong with it.
  15. adireadire answered: As long as the price doesn’t change, I’m using both
  16. kingofthewaste answered: gay
  17. bigchillbutstillill answered: They are trying to go bankrupt.
  18. stabstract answered: I don’t see the big deal. They are famous for their customer satisfaction levels. They make a couple necessary adjustments and get crucified?
  19. artistlife answered: Boo.
  20. mrjotz answered: It’s fine. No big deal to me.
  21. pattyman answered: They’ll have a more accurate picture of streaming-only subscribers, which hopefully means better rates for content. I’m excited.
  22. berniehoff answered: it sucks!!!
  23. serjnasty answered: stupid

  25. lobar answered: I think it’s just going to drive even more subscribers away. Which will only hurt them even more after the significant drop not too long ago.
  26. ducttapedad answered: I think its a horrible name, and breaking up an established brand is a bad idea.. still love me some netlfix tho
  27. sarahrbennett answered: I think it sucks!
  28. dajyo answered: no

  30. zachsayseh answered: Its smart on there part, Airtran used to be called value jet untill they crashed a plan and everyone on board died so they changed there name
  31. bet-z answered: dumbest idea ever. let’s make it a harder user-interface………great
  32. geeksticks answered: It doesn’t make any sense. It was already a brilliant combined service. IF IT AIN’T BROKE, DON’T FIX IT!
  33. unmarkedpavement answered: the stupidest idea ever. “Oh this system is working just fine? Let’s seperate it up then, things should be difficult for people.”
  34. t4dreamers answered: They’re trying to get rid of DVDs is what they’re doing…making it completely seperate and giving it a stupid name…
  35. hernameizadore reblogged this from netflixmoviesthatdontsuck
  36. reelah answered: The fact that it is a whole separate thing is annoying :/
  37. snarkshack answered: Silly and unnecessary.
  38. stabthebleedingrose answered: I hate it.
  39. ahauntedmind answered: Ridiculous. I mean, Quikster? Why not, Quikflix at least? Did marketing really not consider that?
  40. streamingthecube answered: Unless it expands the streaming catalog who cares? I gave up the disc years ago!
  41. lamesor answered: it’s taking an already somewhat complicated system, and making it even more complicated.
  42. thetellersoundsthealarm answered: until their entire library is available for streaming, and i’m not holding my breath for that, i’ll stick with by-mail.
  43. aleynakaterina answered: I think it’s crap. Everything I like is on DVD but everyone else likes streaming. It’s definatly not a good business promotion.
  44. thatizzykid answered: in summary “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
  45. littlepieceofabigsoul answered: It would have been great if they indicated that their main focus would now be streaming, and their library of new releases was larger.
  46. andherecomethewaves answered: As long as it means better streaming movies and tv I really don’t care
