Interesting Netflix email

And, where gripes about the selection are concerned, I think it's often an issue of personal taste misconstrued for "poor selection" for most users as Netflix currently offers THOUSANDS more TV and Movie titles streaming than most cable on demand services (or all of them put together) on any given day.

I think a lot of people are ignorant of the full size of Netflix's Instant Streaming catalog as well. They don't know about sites like Instant Watcher that list all of the new releases or additions each day. My Instant Que is insane and constantly has well over 100 titles. I will never catch up to all of it, especially with Netflix being more aggressive with getting television shows.

Beyond that, if someone is really obsessive about watching only new on DVD/Blu movies, well, then the service probably isn't for them. I'd agree that Redbox or, hopefully, a cheap, traditional store would be better for them (better selection than Redbox).

Pics?

Laptop or phone on kitchen counter. Works great. I love watching tv while making breakfast for the family.

Pics?

Just kidding, that's not actually my toaster but it is a photo of an actual toaster oven equipped with a Netflix streaming projection screen.

Seriously.

This whole thing feels like experimentation and PR under he guise of "well gee golly guys, we just darn goofed didn't we?". Right. I think Netflix was possibly sending out feelers, or they were just purposely setting up a scenario that people didn't like and dumped it when everyone hated it so they'd appear as a hero to the public. Nothing like good will when more and more competition is popping up every day. Netflix is much more savvy and slick than this clumsy charade.
