Not sure how to do the DVD/blu-ray only. Maybe sign up for the free one month trial, add DVD's, then cancel the streaming subscription?

But you don't have a gaming console - Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii? If you have any of those, you can easily stream from Netflix to your TV.

this has been comedy gold. if they don't renig on the idea of renting out games, i'll sign up with them again. if they don't offer games, i won't. no interest in their terrible streaming options and i don't want to pay extra to get blurays instead of dvds. which i probably wouldn't watch anyway because physical media is a huge pita.

Jarom, I do have a 360 but it is hooked up to my computer monitor. I would like to sit on the couch to watch a movie, not at a desk.

If Blockbuster would get better I'd use them.
Right now, it's a joke.

Had they been smarter and hiked the price by $2-$4 bucks this year, then next year cited increased postage costs, they could have done another $2 per month for those using the DVD by mail.


They would have lost a lot fewer customers.
