Netflix removing multiple queues
UPDATE! Netflix has reversed their decision.
I received a notice from Netflix that, effective September 1st, they will no longer be allowing users to have more than one queue. LAME!
I currently have the “2 at a time” plan with 2 different queues. This allows my wife and I to each get one movie at a time from our respective queues. This is such a convenient feature that I am not sure I will want to continue using the service should they discontinue the multiple queues. I would like to know what bean counter came up with this brilliant way to increase profits. Perhaps I can provide some advice, reducing the costs to operate your service will be meaningless to your bottom line when your customers leave.
Here is a link to some very, very lame corporate marketing / used car salesman language Netflix is using to “sell” this feature removal as a “improvement” to their service. Ha!

Oh shoot! I didn’t even know you could have multiple queues - what a cool feature! Strange… this seems like something they should add - not eliminate.
Hey, I think I’m going to buy an adapter or for my Mac to connect S-Video so I can hook up my TV and watch Netflix on-demand movies. They have one at apple.com for $20.

Totally agreed - partner and I are looking for new service now that the queues are going away - that feature has kept us from separating surely !!

this is insane - now i have to pray that i don’t end up getting the 3 chic flicks my wife has in the queue. Im going to consider blockbuster online - atleast then I can go to the store and pick up another movie with one of their coupons.
