Netflix troubles pile on, Web site crashed

[one...two...tree 2,762]

To make matters worse, Netflix's Web site - the hub of its rental system - went down Monday evening and remained inaccessible as of Tuesday afternoon (EDT). Spokesman Steve Swasey attributed the outage to an unanticipated problem that he declined to describe.

Blockbuster sent the boys round. 'Nuff said.

yeap..they are f##ked

Nah - they just need to fix their IT, as that's what their service relies upon.

They need to come up with something clever that trumps the convenience of having a local Blockbuster...perhaps by really promoting the idea that they carry obscure films you can't rent anywhere else. Also, they should offer adult films for rent.

Expedited delivery.

Hmm...I was getting mine the very next day so I thought their turnaround was really good. Perhaps a delivery and pickup service like FedEx?

I think Netflix's mailing service is pretty quick already.... not sure how much quicker they could make it...

For Example, If I mail out a movie on Monday, Netflix usually gets it Tuesday and I usually get a new movie in my mail box Wednesday

i noticed they are starting to promote the "Watch Now feature on TV".....

it looks like Netflix is back online now...

I will remain loyal to Netflix no matter what. Blockbuster's idea of renting movies at a store doesn't appeal to me at all - I like getting stuff in the mailbox, cause it's the only place I don't have to drive to.

I like RedBox. Movies for a buck a night. Of course, you gotta drive to McDonald's to pick it up and return it. In my town of 9000 people, that isn't exactly an epic journey.
