Netflix is now live in India, Nigeria, Poland, Russia and more!

[kameshss]

Netflix is launched in India, in Nigeria, in Poland, in Russia, in Saudi Arabia, in Singapore, in South Korea, in Turkey, in Indonesia, and in 130 new countries.

 

But not in China yet!

 

Go to www.netflix.com to see if Netflix is live in your country!

 

In India, The Plan starts from Basic at Rs. 500 per month (7.48 USD)

 

LG is going to be a big part of that expansion: it's partnering with Netflix to help the company's expansion efforts into new markets — think Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe — by offering prepaid access to Netflix. It's still unclear exactly how this prepaid initiative will work, but it's easy to imagine a scenario in which people can pay a lump sum for a year of Netflix instead of having monthly charges applied to a credit card. It's a proposition that doesn't make as much sense in Netflix's existing, credit-saturated markets, but it could ease the service's entry into countries where credit cards and monthly subscriptions aren't as prevalent.

 

 

 

Netflix says that its service "won't be available in Crimea, North Korea and Syria due to U.S. government restrictions on American companies." And major series like House of Cards and Orange is The New Black may not be available in markets where Netflix doesn't own the distribution rights. But the company is increasingly moving to own those rights for its original content, with an eye towards maximizing the return it can get on paying to produce new films and series.

 

 

 

Netflix has big plans for original content in 2016. The company says it is going to create "31 new and returning original series, two dozen original feature films and documentaries, a wide range of stand-up comedy specials and 30 original kids series." Onstage at CES, Hastings did note that Netflix would have to navigate the differing cultural standards of its new countries when deciding what programming to release in each one.

 

 

 

In addition to going live in new countries, Netflix added Arabic, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese to the 17 languages it already supports.

 

 

 

Here is the official plan prices that is available in India right now.

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile Netflix's Stock Price is going insane.

[ExDreamer]

works in malaysia Might be cancelling my cable subscription after this.

[ivan134]

I'll talk to my cousins back in Nigeria to find out what the price is. Im not really sure how this feasible though. The speeds required for this are not available to them and they're upper middle class. Its good that this is an option now so my cousin doesn't have to torrent shows everytime he visits here.

[Guest Generallee]

[TheA1One]

It was updated a few seconds ago

So lets see if the European Netflix gets more content now.

[suicidalfranco]

now if only content wasn't shit compared to the US catalog

[You_are_a_cunt]

I can confim Netflix availability in Romania. Plans cost 7.99, 9,99 and 11.99 EUR with the first month FREE.

Currently sharing an account with a friend so it's basically 5 EUR per month for on-demand movies and shows. (sharing the account since we both want HD and we're not going to be watching on two screen at the same time. Plus, it's cheaper)

American studio being geoblocking ass holes still applies though.

[deviant88]

yea i just subbed now but ill prolly cancel, 10euro for hd is too much for rom..

some movies arent even 720p they are lower than standard definition TV cable, like gravity or star trek into the darkness

too expensive, no subs, missing shows and low quality on shows that should not be sub hd, netflix wont take off here

After a surprise announcement from the netflix management team at CES 2016, it has become available world wide(kinda).

 

 

EDIT: The announcement was made around 5-6 hours ago, DON'T EXPECT THE BEST QUALITY(Maybe).

[vanished]

Any mention of quality in newly serviced countries?  There is already one report of issues: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/521955-is-this-normal-for-netflix/

That's not good... if it makes a bad first impression on a large number of people all a once, (justified or not) that could be hard for them to repair...
