    I'm with @zpower. Netflix's price hike was enough for me to cancel service today. http://zatz.tv/n7Os09

    @netflix You've gotta be kidding me. How bout I choose option 3: cancel my subscription altogether? Yeah, that sounds good.

    Netflix just convinced me to find those 2 random Blurays on my TV stand, send them back & cancel the disc account. http://bit.ly/pcbyOf

  10. Speaking of Redbox: Many think that the rental kiosk service will be one of the big winners of the Netflix pricing change.

    Netflix is going to have their lunch eaten by Redbox. At least the Netflix DVD service.

    It's funny how #Netflix, formerly known as the innovator, is now sending me back in time-- to renting DVDs from a box! #Redbox!

    @netflix You're on notice. I switched to streaming-only. The next switch is to cancel if selection doesn't improve. You have two months.
