Netflix's Fascinating Cancellation Questionnaire

The most interesting bit is the way they even go and tell you in bold exactly how much all of the competing options cost.

My reaction: "Wait, I can get free TV episodes and free shipping with Amazon Prime for $79 a year?"

Not that I'd give up Netflix, mind you. Though I have recently downscaled from three to two discs at a time since I figured out I was watching far more streaming stuff than disc-borne stuff.

I'm already a Prime customer -- and a Netflix subscriber. Amazon's "free" category for Prime movies is thin - very thin.

And I'm afraid Netflix warped my brain with subscription fee -- it seems exorbitant now to pay $3.00 to watch a single streaming movie. So personally, I don't find the promise of a few free shows, designed to lure me into paying a la carte for the premium ones, very compelling.

Netflix asking their (dissatisfied) customer to try out Amazon Prime is actually a great idea for Netflix.

Prime's selection is quite small compared to Netflix's and Netflix can likely easily stay ahead of Amazon.

Amazon primes selection seems so bad that its more of a nice bonus to people that want to subscribe to Prime anyway rather than a standalone Netflix/Hulu competitor.
