You've been Nexflixed!

I was waiting with patience
For my Nexflix to come in the mail
The shiny red envelope was my favorite piece of mail
Where did you go?
I found out with a lot of prying on your website
You no longer allow just a dvd in the mail
You have to have the streaming first
Then you can add the dvd option for another eight bucks
You changed and seperated the two and I paid the 16 bucks for a while
Now you want me to pay for a service
I don't even use so I can get eight dvds in the mail a month
that would be two bucks a dvd
I can get them at the library for free
I can get them at Redbox for 1.29
Redbox doesn't charge a monthly fee either
I'd like to keep you around
but for now I have to say
bye bye!

About this poem:

I was supposed to get a Netflix on Tuesday and then waited till today to contact them and found out if I want their service I have to pay 16 bucks again. For now I'm going to get by like I used to, but I will miss my Nexflix.

We axed Netflix too! The day they separated the two services their stocks plummeted on the market - sign of a bad idea. That was some months ago - you can get loads of movies that are more up to date on Amazon Mac, and I'm not a 100% positive but I don't think there's a monthly charge, just pay for what you view. It's only a matter of time before someone else comes along and does what Netflix used to do for a better price.

Ladybee42, thanks for your comment. I found out the real culprit was my bank. They had been bought out by a larger bank, so they discontinued all the credit cards, so Nexflix could get their money. I called the people at Netflix and they said I could still just rent dvds for 8 bucks a month. So now I have to wait for my new card. I wish I had a home computer, then I could take advantage of the offer you told me about.
