Top Movie and Game Rentals

Shares of online DVD rental company Netflix Inc. surged after an analyst recommended that investors buy the company’s stock, saying its unique business model could help it top 7 million subscribers by 2007. The company’s shares gained 7.1 percent, to trade at $26.89 — the stock has more than doubled since the year began.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - When the head of said rival Blockbuster Inc. threw “everything but the kitchen sink at us,” the world’s largest video rental chain responded by sending him … a kitchen sink.

The message from last January’s interchange was clear: Blockbuster, with $6 billion in 2004 revenue and 5,500 domestic stores, intended to own online DVD rental, an $8 billion industry pioneered by Netflix.

Netflix Claim Form Process

Important Dates and Information

The important dates for you to know are:

• January 6, 2006 is the deadline to opt-out of this settlement (December 28, 2005 if mailed).
• January 5, 2006 is the deadline to intervene or object to this settlement (December 28, 2005 if mailed).
• January 18, 2006 is the Final Hearing Date.
• February 17, 2006 is the deadline to register for the benefit through the Claim Form Process.
• The Class Benefit will become available to eligible Class Members following the Effective Date, as described in the Settlement Agreement. The Effective Date depends on such factors as the pendency of any appeals and is therefore difficult to predict. All eligible Class Members will be sent an email when the Class Benefit becomes available.

Once you register for benefits under the NetFlix Class Action Settlement, you won’t receive those benefits until the settlement is final (refer to those dates above).

A class action suit has been brought against NetFlix for throttling their subscribers and not delivering one-day shipments. More information at: NetFlix Class Action Settlement

I’m moving to Intelliflix for my online DVD and movie rentals. I like the fact that Intelliflix offers video games plus adult movies: Intelliflix is the one-stop rental service for everything. NetFlix only offers non-adult DVD movies (no games), and BlockBuster only offers game rentals in their stores (also no mature films).

Last year I joined NetFlix and used it for a few months. I liked the selection and definitely the convenience of receiving DVD movies right to my mailbox, but after awhile I got busy and found it wasn’t worth paying $19.99 a month. But here’s what really pissed me off and has caused some unhappy customers to post rants such as “Why NetFlix Sucks!”. I was getting too many movies each month, so they stopped sending them as fast; instead of 2-day turnarounds, it was taking longer and longer to get the items in my queue. Excuse me, but that’s not mentioned in their d*#ned terms of service! For the first few months of my NetFlix subscription I was returning the DVDs the same day I received them (I just copied them to a hard drive for viewing later, then deleted them after I viewed them), and that meant I could get more rented then they wanted me to receive in a month. So good-bye NetFlix with your high prices and crummy business practices, and hellow BlockBuster Online!!
