Netflix recently raised the price of their most popular plan from $8.99 to $9.99 per month. They also added a streaming only plan for $7.99 per month, at least in the U.S. anyway.
Shortly after news of this increase in price people were immediately complaining. Sure a price increase is a bummer, but we are talking about $1 per month for most people. And, with the streaming only plan they could actually save $1 per month. That is just barely over 3 cents per day more.
I guess people don't realize that it does cost Netflix money to license and distribute all those movies or something. They need a vast network of computers and an impressive system to distribute them which isn't cheap either. Not to mention they do have to pay employees. All so the end user can sit on netflix and watch a movie 24-7 from many electronic gizmo's. They have to pay for it somehow right!
Now I could see if they were doubling or tripling the price or something, but a whole $1 per month! If you ask me the price is still extremely cheap for what you get.
Oh well, it's impossible to please everyone!
