This is more than just a chance for competitors, it's a golden opportunity. The Netflix debacle has rivaled Charlie Sheen's meltdown the whole way, just without the "great hair" (which makes it even worse).

For some reason, you just can't...look...away.

We just started Netflix when they doubled the price>> we hated that and had no trust! We figured we could rent movies and copy them from our cable company for much less than that>> and have all the lesser movies we want from their selection>>Mega disappointed in Netflix...

Luckily for some people like me who already has Dish Network, I am patiently waiting for the Blockbuster deal to come together completely so we can pay $10 a month for all that Netflix offered and more! Now we can rent not only rent movies but games also, plus get new releases right when they come out AND stream live! I never would have even thought of this if it wasn't for the recent price hike with Netflix, I always thought they were great....not anymore.

Everybody makes mistakes and, yeah, they can be embarrassing. But Netflix should be applauded, not disparaged, for recognizing its mistake very quickly and changing course.

Adolescent media that cover every story as if it were an episode of The Kardashians can’t stop themselves from calling an error a “debacle” and getting out their Ouija boards to ponder whether the company can survive.

If the media were able to own up to and fix their mistakes as quickly as Netflix has, we'd have a better public discourse. Grow up.

** They LOST a MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. Yes, I'd call it a debacle. -Gus**

These companies are always trying outsmart themselves. This was a dumb idea to begin with.I hope they lose all of their customers!! Serves them right for trying to juice their already satisfied customers out of extra bucks. Nothing but pure greed.

I can tell you that as a subscriber/employee of DISH Network I was excited to hear they were coming out with the Blockbuster Movie Pass. I was looking for something different because of the price hike. So for only $10 dollars I can get streaming and DVDs and so much more then I ever could with Netflix. More than 100,000 DVD movies, TV shows and games available by mail. No additional charge for high definition Blu-ray movies. Stream more than 3,000 movies to the TV. You can also get games and in-store exchanges. I am so happy I switched when I did, because I don’t think Netflix knows what they are doing.

"Could do no wrong . . . "

Seriously? Netflix makes a horrific decision every other week. The only difference is that, up until now, they haven't had to deal with peoples' money so people gripe and complain for a few weeks and just learn to live with a lesser service because ultimately they can adapt. When Netflix messes with wallets and purses, however, the empty cancellation threats become immanent revenue threats.

It's about time these idiots figured out how to listen to customers. It's usually a great service but who can commit to spending any amount of money on a service when the provider constantly spits in their faces?
