Thank you, I was paying like $13 dollars a month for Netflix, now they've jacked it up to $19, I'm probably gonna stick with them though and go with a cheaper plan.

I may take a look at what amazon has to offer, out of curiosity. I still can't get behind Hulu however; If you're paying for them, you should be able to view their entire catalogue, ad-free.

I already read that story and I'm still going with Netflix for now. Can't beat the fact that it's on my computers, my 360, my PS3, my Wii, my 3DS, and on my phones. I know some of the ones mentioned on there are also offered on mobiles but for right now I don't think $20 is that bad. That's only three less Extra Value Meals a month. I remember before Netflix I used to spend around $40-$120 a month on Blu-Rays depending on what came out that month.

I had both too, but I ditched Hulu for Netflix because of the commercials, and because there's things that you can only watch on its website exclusively. I think I should be able to watch what I want, how I want to if I'm paying for it. I'm still keeping Netflix for now, but I like to keep my options open.

I tried the Hulu demo out on the Xbox 360 and I wasn't impressed at all. I'll stick with Netflix, it may be pricier but I still get good use out of it. I'm waiting for the day an IPTV with on demand content dominates over the telecom giants that really gouge consumers, complaining about Netflix prices is nothing compared to cable TV.

Ya the commercials are annoying. You'd think paying for subscription would give you no ads. I'll most likely take off Hulu unless they do something new about it.

Sticking with Netflix for sure. It's only $8.99 for unlimited streaming. That's a great price in my book. Cheaper than buying seasons of TV shows or movies...

I will never leave Netflix's streaming service, it is a steal but not keep quickster when it launches unless their video game service is a steal as well
