Why Netflix? Why?

If you watch Jon Stewart this is a 'meet me at camera three' moment.  If you don't we'll  just call it an open letter.

Netflix, you were a company I respected.  I liked your business model, it was simple, streamlined and straightforward.  We made a list and BluRay movies appeared in the post, we sent them back in the could've been designed by apple return envelope.  Life was good - then life got better - you added instant streaming. All for $11 dollars a month.  Yesterday under the misleading banner of more choice (ie more profits) you split the two services. Now if we want both movies in the mail and streaming it will cost us just under $20 (starting in September) 

Hubby thinks this is a prelude to ditching your original model (the one that made you into a household name and a verb) and going to streaming only.  When I asked why that was a bad idea he started spouting words and numbers like 1080p and impossible and not enough bandwidth so I stopped him before he blew up.  In layman's terms you can't stream BluRays because there isn't enough bandwidth (think how annoying it is when you try and watch a you tube clip (buffering, buffering) imagine that while trying to watch a movie)

So Netflix here's the bottom line, in a time when money is tight you jack up the price for both services.  Genius.  As of today we no longer stream and I kind of hate you a little right now.
