Posted October 6, 2017 As expected, the price continues to rise. I wouldn't be surprised if we see $25 or $30 for the UHD plan in a few years. I'm actually expecting even the double of that, if they're able to get enough content.

Have to totally agree, I am happily paying for Netflix in Australia, however when I see Netflix original content appear 8 hours before it hits AU Netflix it makes me mad. That is total BS.

The standard US plan increases by $1 to $10.99 a month, with a $2 rise to $13.99 for the premium option. A basic subscription in the UK, which does not offer high definition viewing, remains at £5.99 a month. Quote Germany and France are among the other countries where prices will rise. Subscriptions were tweaked in Canada, Latin America and some Nordic countries earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 6, 2017 Meh. I still have an active subscription but mainly to watch shows with my kid. The only show I was truly into was Twin Peaks season 3 (I know it's showtime but internationally Netflix had the licencing) Doubt they'll renew for a 4th season. ------- Current Rig ------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 6, 2017 They jacked up Australia's price a little while back too, i wouldn't mind as much if it wasn't for the fact that they offer a small fraction of the content to us when compared to the US version I understand that there's various licensing issues at play because other content providers here have already purchased exclusive rights for screening certain content within the country but i think the price we pay should reflect this disparity. They (the media) keep saying that Aussies are the No.1 pirates in the world but never acknowledge why, we're always getting locked out of content or charged insane prices compared to the rest of the world, so fucking annoying.

Posted October 6, 2017 Aside from a few fringe shows namely parks and rec... I don't watch Netflix and I have access to it. My keep my antenna and get all but 4 of the standard cable channels for free. I like watching shows that grow Acclaim or with people, I enjoy movies aswell. Most of my entertainment comes from games that are either 1 time purchase or free such as league. I was considering picking up Netflix just to have, however this is honestly to the point where can buy a new season set every month, so I'll do that instead. The Vinyl Decal guy.

I have Internet and a 50ft tower with a 7' antenna on top for tv. I get quite a few channels with it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if its cable companies bribing companies like 21st century fox, and other content providers to charge Nextflix up the ass for streaming licenses. And of course they want to milk more money out of the customers too Im sure Your right, i never thought of it like that. The better Netflix does and the more spite TV people have towards them, could also mean the more they raise their prices and cause Netflix to do the same.. I hope the investments in Netflix original content pays off soon before more TV stations start pulling their shows or movies or whatever... Great point.

Posted October 7, 2017 Haha netflix is rubbish, in my country it already costs that much since the price is in euros and you get 1/3rd of the content in US, talk about scamming haha. I hope this service dies sometime, i will never accept to pay for HD, a service that streams standard 360p for 8euro(~10$) is absolute garbage gtfo, ill stick to youtube and .torrent Youtube can stream 4K60fps for free and netflix wants 15$ for it get lost.
