Netflix due to increase price for new members

4.1
The last time Netflix intended to up their price scaled was back in 2011 when they infamously split their Streaming and DVD rental services into standalone offerings. It has been gleaned from a Netflix quarterly financial report that the company is possibly going to implement a one or two dollar increase for new streaming only members; the old pricing is said to remain in effect for existing customers for a "generous time period." This increase in fee according to Netflix is needed in order to better allow them to acquire more content to increase the overall value of their landscape of media offerings.

DeadMouse Hopefully with the increased fee they will add more and better movies.


They should just do that now so people come back to netflix or bring netflix party chat back to Xbox.


I miss Netflix party on Xbox.. Used to watch lots of movies with friends


I know right! Now you have to time starting the movie at the same time to get the best effect.

THECARJACKER Yes people say with an increased fee more TV shows should become available, however you have to bear in mind that it is not up to Netflix to bring a TV show on there. It is all down to the TV network.

Yes we would all like Game of Thrones on Netflix but HBO would NEVER allow it to be put on there, they only just reached a deal with Amazon Instant for older HBO shows.
When things are removed from Netflix it isn't their fault, the network has revoked the rights for them to show it. e.g. South Park being taken down in January

This increased fee will hopefully work as I would really like for South Park to be put back on Netflix and I want some more shows on the UK one (Community, Parks & Rec, Archer S4 +5)


Yeah but, the US Netflix has way much more TV programs as well as movies compared to the UK one, if I have to pay more, which I suspect I eventually will, then I expect more out of my membership. And yeah, South Park would be beast on Netflix
