I bet Starz will change their mind on that 300m price when it gets closer to Feb 28th. Do people even watch Starz channel anymore?

I can't even think of one Disney/Sony movie I want to watch right now on Netflix.

Spartacus' new season starts in January. Personally, I paid for Netflix initially so that I could watch it and Dexter.

Starz online is not streamlined though. They may lose money here as Netflix has great incentives.

Speed-Racer4617d ago

Their cable market must have been strong enough for them to call a shot like that. Losing Sony and Disney movies is a big loss for Netflix in my opinion. I guess corporate greed really comes into play here though.

Tanir4616d ago

wow and netflix is still going to up the price with a huge loss of content like that? ouch

evrfighter4616d ago

ya it seems like a lose lose for both companies here

Netflix's already small video streaming library just got. Well, more smaller.

macezhno4616d ago

this and the price has gone up

vickers5004615d ago

Seriously. I was expecting Netflix to GAIN a lot more content because of the price hike, not lose more.

Have you tried watching anything on HBO GO? I don't know if they've improved it lately, but the last time I tried watching something on it (episode 6 or 7 of Game of Thrones, the one they showed a week early online) the service was horrible. Highly pixelated, no option for a higher quality stream, and going full screen was a nightmare.

I'd be thrilled if the service worked better, especially since I get all of the premium networks for free (thank you DirecTV employee benefits), but if Starz is going this route they better make sure to improve on the current model.

Netflix steaming is really garbage. Now it's even worse.

Captain Tuttle4616d ago

Really? What's on Starz? Mrs. Doubtfire and On Golden Pond?

NCAzrael4615d ago

Spartacus and... no, just Spartacus.

RustInPeace4616d ago

So does this mean that Netflix will be defunked within the next year or two? They keep losing contracts with these money-hungry studios, so will it just be bare bones come this time next year?
