Come on Netflix. What the heck? - GoFuckYourself.com

First DVD I ever rent from them and it stops working about half way through.

Not a good start.

kane · 03-19-2009, 01:47 AM

That sucks. I had them for about 2 years and I think I ended up with about 6-7 broken or too scratched to play DVDs. I guess it isn't that bad for that period of time, but the first one is not making a good impression.

donkevlar · 03-19-2009, 01:50 AM

I think I know what the problem is here...

Does your "DVD" player look like this?

Deej · 03-19-2009, 01:51 AM

that sucks...

aniloscash · 03-19-2009, 03:09 AM

usually if I give it a little windex it will work fine. but whats up with the long wait for all the oscar noms. my next 6 picks have long wait.

mikesinner · 03-19-2009, 04:08 AM

That's because the type of DVDs you rent one always only watched the first 5 minues ;)

I'm all about the cable OnDemand and DVR.

cherrylula · 03-19-2009, 05:53 AM

yeah it seems some of their discs are way scratched. I have also had a few times where they do not make it here, or back.

another reason I prefer pay per view type of services, no hassles.

nation-x · 03-19-2009, 06:28 AM

hmm... we have been using Netflix for almost 2 years and have never gotten a bad disk... maybe it's just regional

We probably rent 3-5 a month. Can't beat the local place on Mondays where you can rent any dvd for $.99 and if it isn't new that week you can keep it for five days.

No kidding... I don't either, seriously... spend $3 bucks in gas to go to a rental store, to find what you want isn't there, with minimum wage workers who would rather spit on your face than actually help you find something, then go home to find out the movie is scratched, not working, skips or might even be the wrong movie. All for about the price of going to an actual movie.

And then the store across the street from me closes down and everyone wonders why.

I hope Blockbuster dies quickly...

I ended up taking some Borax over it and it started working again.

Too limited of a selection.

A. I dont think anyone goes to an actual physical video store any more. The thread was about NetFlix.

B. The price of going to an actual movie? Have you been to a theater since 1975?

C. $3 in gas to get to a rental store? You either live in butt fuck Wyoming or drive a Semi. And if you do live that far away from a video store then join the new world and pony up for a $10 a month NetFlix account.

Millions of people use Netflix, you can't expect them to inspect every DVD they have and make sure it works and isn't scratched to shit. Send them an email saying it's scratched and you're sending it back and would like a replacement, you'll have your new movie in a day or 2.

I was wondering if I was the only webmaster that would actually walk a mile to a video store.

Granted, they can not inspect each individual DVD, but if it were my company, I would have something set up that put the DVD through a "wash" as soon as it came in.

Baddog's next five threads:

1. What's with this goddamn hippy hop?
2. Why won't the goddamn neighborhood kids stay off my lawn??
3. Can they make the lid on the goddamn Celebrex jar any harder to get off?
4. Why is the goddamn print on everything so tiny?
5. What's wrong with these kids today and their goddamn pants hanging off their ass?
