Grom geekology, Because everyone was all, "oh no you di-in't!" when Netflix announced their price-hike, the company has decided to split into two parts in a feeble attempt at damage control. The streaming company will still be called Netflix, but the DVD-by-mail portion will now be known as Qwikster, and will soon incorporate a video game upgrade option but NOT a price downgrade option. No word if they plan on rolling out a "curtained back of the rental store" porn service, but I'm not touching those discs if they do. Well, not without my gauntlets on anyway.

mr. ac and i were just talking about this. we're both feeling somewhat negative about the split but will temporarily keep both services... at least through horrorthon anyway.
I'm getting 2 DVDs plus streaming for about $20, I think it's worth it. I also cut my cable package way back since I rarely watch tv these days fo it all evens out :)
We are streaming only right now, but will probably add discs for October. Stoopid Netflix.
I am glad to be a DISH subscriber since all the changes Netflix has made. The Blockbuster Movie Pass is available so now you can start streaming thousands of on-demand titles right to your TV or PC! As a DISH employee I can tell you that you can get unlimited access to over 100,000 movies, TV shows and games by mail even new releases available before Netflix or Redbox.
