Comment Cost Control Measures... (Score 1) 521
This would seem (at first glance) to be a (rather effective) method to control costs... If you view a bunch of movies one month, they slow you down the next by limiting the availability on the movies in your queue.
Since you sign up for a fixed amount, and every movie they rent you costs them $0.75 in postage, if you rent 15 movies they don't make much money from you, where if you rent 4, they make a lot.
I can understand the motivation, I just have a hard time believing that a company would stoop to this level. It's making me consider cancelling my NetFlix account.
