Netflix Down in the Dumps?

But for how long, the rate increase is nothing new, the new monthly plan for DVD's by mail went into affect late 2009 (I believe), but the effects of customers dropping their plans are continuing. Netflix was arguably the "best option" for combined movie rentals, online television and  streaming movies has now become a waste of money, and possibly betrayer to movie watchers since the pricing hike:

Quote:

"Netflix isn't looking like it's as good a deal because their prices are getting higher and their content isn't getting any better"

A quick comparison: Blockbusters has the latest video games for many gaming systems, classic movies available to rent*, and new movie releases sooner (one month sooner than Netflix). The drawbacks were the higher pricing for video game rentals and damaged disc's arriving in the mail, also Blockbuster has no choice of watching streaming television shows nor movies online, with the option of linking your computer to your television.

While the contender Netflix, had lower monthly pricing with little to no damaged DVD's arriving in my mailbox quicker versus Blockbuster's damages dics and incredibly slow shipping.

Netflix ability to have movies only for purchase (no rental option) was frustrating, while Blockbuster has the same movies both for rental and purchase.

Though Netflix is not a source for gaming rentals the company stating, "It's merely a movie rental business, Blockbuster success with the addition of video games rental is obvious.

My 2 CENTS:

Something gotta give either add new components or lower your prices, it's your move, choose wisely, Netflix.

Netflix Price VS Plans

Mega Deal shown on the News

Now that the eight dvd's for $49.99 monthly plan is now eliminated from the options available, the company is not as convenient nor economical as before the rate change:

The popular plan I bought though-out 2008-2010:

$15.99 plan for 3 DVD plus streaming Movie & Television

(This great Deal no longer available).

Some are calling Netflix pricing increase greed which is why many loyal Netflix customers are questioning staying while other customers (like me), have yet to renew their accounts.

To me it's seems more idiotical than greed, there are no online upgrades, no rush to get new releases out sooner, or new movie selections available yet the priced plans remains high.

High price with no new options screams stepping on the little gal and guys out there, the movie watchers who wants to watch movies at their leisure without the commitment of buying a $14 - $30 dollar dvd; only to to be watched twice and left to be forgotten. 

Netflix gave you the guilty pleasure of watching old favorites that you'd never buy (like the box set of Xena: Warrior Princess), but you would watch if a friend shamefully wasted money the on it themselves.

Also Netflix has the convenience of catching up on televison shows: like The Office

I would have never understood or enjoy The Office if I didn't have Netflix, I caught up on many missed episodes and now it's one of my favorite television show, all because of a cool fifteen bucks a month and streaming television options: Life should be about accommodating everyone, not nickel and diming consumers.

Options is what consumers flock to, Netflix it's time to get back in the game.

Additional Website Selling this wig: clairhair.com, Amazon, Tophairwigs.com


Combs: Yes three, 1 top front of the hair line and 2 comb separated in the back nape area.


Band Stretch Clip: No clips.

Quick Review: I give this wig a C-

The wig out the box looks cute, at first glance, then I notice  not only does this wig have no stretch clip in the back, but trying the wig on, Verona gives the top of my head a weird pointed look. The texture looks like a fresh relaxer and the feel is course but still smooth to the touch.  I like the bangs the wig has a better quality look then many wig with bangs. The style is similar to a weave, if not pull down to much

I couldn't tell that the wig had sharp layers looking at it myself, since the online pictures shown on many websites, the wig looks choppy and cheap, but in youtube video's the ladies look great in theirs so I bought Verona.

Verona give no security,  many times it felt as though the wig shifted and could slip off even with the help on hair pins.

Dare I say I like fullcap (bandcaps), better than the dreaded lace front wig, yes, I dare to say: I like Fullcap wigs!

Product Review: Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Fortifying Conditioner & Shampoo

Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Shampoo Conditioner Duo UPDATED October 05, 2011


Original Post Date: September 02, 2011l

Follow-Up: After using both conditioner and shampoo for a month it can cause a drying effect, sometime I'd use the conditioner alone and after my hair hair dries it is a little rough and my scalp is dry. Using both products rinsing my hair clean then using Sauve Coconut conditioner on my hair when damp keeps my hair soft and moisturized longer, without leaving in Sauve  my hair would be dry and my reviews on hair products are in search for products that does the job and more.

 My New Rating for both Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Shampoo & Conditioner: C-

Pure Clean does a very good job of cleaning my hair but not stripping all the moisture out like most shampoos, but the conditioner is not as creamy and moisturizing as a hoped, in fact the conditioner is also good as a shampoo, it does a very bad job of conditioning my hair, so I enjoy using the shampoo is half a bottle left as I type, the conditioner I've used only twice and is now left in my bathroom drawer.




Smells great, left my hair soft, tangled free, and smelling wonderful
