Anyone else get the "bend over here it comes again" email yet?

This is like 5 bucks a month  Angry Angry Angry

But at least they made me feel like an idiot by spelling out the math.

Dear B,

We are separating unlimited DVDs by mail and unlimited streaming into two separate plans to better reflect the costs of each. Now our members have a choice: a streaming only plan, a DVD only plan, or both.

Your current $17.99 a month membership for unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs (including Blu-ray access) will be split into 2 distinct plans:

   Plan 1: Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs) for $7.99 a month
   Plan 2: Unlimited DVDs (including Blu-ray), 2 out at-a-time (no streaming)
              for $14.99 a month

Your price for getting both of these plans will be $22.98 a month ($7.99 + $14.99). You don't need to do anything to continue your memberships for both unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs.

These prices will start for charges on or after September 1, 2011.

You can easily change or cancel your unlimited streaming plan, unlimited DVD plan, or both, by going to the Plan Change page in Your Account.

We realize you have many choices for home entertainment, and we thank you for your business. As always, if you have questions, please feel free to call us at 1-888-357-1516.

ouch, I have been doing only streaming for awhile now so I can say that I'm still happy because this doesn't affect me , but I read alot of the big contracts will end in a year or two and with alot of other players in this game now that netflix might not be able to secure as many and the streaming content could fall big time

Bio: The way SBC approaches combat may be seen by some to be cowardly or dishonorable, but in reality SBC deals strictly with what is practical.  After all, the best way to not be impaled by a broadsword is to be out of its reach entirely.

Instead of meeting her foes head-on, SBC prefers to use a bow and arrows to fell her enemies from a (safe) distance.  For those occasions lacking a sufficiently large battlefield, SBC uses her knowledge of the magic arts to cloak herself in shadow and flanks her targets, quietly slitting the throats of the men in the back of enemy lines with her silver dagger.  Should the situation become too hostile for a lightly armored warrior such as herself, she will flee from the battlefield and live to fight another day.  After all, a dead warrior is no use to anyone.

They're shutting down gradually.  It's been going on for three or four months at the very least.  The one close to my neighborhood just shut down.  Cry

Seriously? Redbox sucks. No good movies.

BTW: Wow that sucks, I didn't get an e-mail but I went on their site and saw the whole deal. The price for me will go up from $9.99 a month to $15.98 a month if I keep the same plan. No thanks, I'm just going to switch to streaming only before September. Afro

They are in trouble and need to raise cash for future content purchases. Amazon and apple are going to kick netflix ass in the next round of bidding. Looking to phase out the dvd portion due to cost and upgrade streaming side of the business.

I'm looking to phase them out completely.  What cost me $12/month last year will be close to $25/month (after taxes) come September.  Even Comcast hasn't raised their rates 100% in a year.
