Netflix abandons Qwickster


I just got my e-mail from Netflix saying that they've decided against the Qwickster thing. As a man who took the Netflix Instant Queue Challenge and won, I feel like I'm qualified to say this is a good move.

I love Netflix. They saved my soul from Cockbusters just a couple of years ago, but what's going on? Is it that they have no backbone or are they just great listeners?

It seems like a focus group might be a good idea. Maybe they haven't seen Mad Men? It's available to watch instantly.

If not, I hope they've at least seen this unaired SNL skit from two weeks ago: Web Exclusive: Netflix Apology

This is unbelievable and I can't imagine that their customers feel happy or secure with them. I switched to the Blockbuster Movie Pass when these changes just kept happening. Since I am an employee and subscriber of DISH Network I was quick to pick up this pass because I get access to streaming, DVD/Blu-ray rentals and video game rentals for just $10 a month. The best part is I conveniently get all of this on just one bill from DISH.
