Anyone else get a email from Netflix? Here is a part of it..

It’s hard to write this after over 10 years of mailing DVDs with pride, but we think it is necessary: In a few weeks, we will rename our DVD by mail service to “Qwikster”. We chose the name Qwikster because it refers to quick delivery. We will keep the name “Netflix” for streaming.

Qwikster will be the same website and DVD service that everyone is used to. It is just a new name, and DVD members will go to qwikster.com to access their DVD queues and choose movies. One improvement we will make at launch is to add a video games upgrade option, similar to our upgrade option for Blu-ray, for those who want to rent Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Members have been asking for video games for many years, but now that DVD by mail has its own team, we are finally getting it done. Other improvements will follow. A negative of the renaming and separation is that the Qwikster.com and Netflix.com websites will not be integrated.

They also posted it in their blog.

I just read that Netflix will start offering games. I'd go with them over GF when that happens.

If they do that, it will save their company. They have more shipping centers than GF.

That's what really pissed me off about GF when I lived in NC. They would take 4-5 days to get that game to me. They also pulled this a lot,

-Put new game that's going to come out in a month in my Game Q-

-Game comes out. They send me another game instead of the first game I had on my Q for over a month-

I got tired of the bull, I sent them a letter after the 12th time this happened. I was a loyal customer, got a lot of games from them too. But enough was enough. They have what? 5-6 shipping centers? How can someone in Greensboro get their game quicker than me that lived in Cornelius? Bunch of bull. I dropped them and went to my local blockbuster. They were meh.

If netflix does offer games I'll have to think about getting their service back.

It doesn't. I was a member for 3 years and I had plenty of problems with them. You must live near a facility of theirs.

At first it was rather bad.. never got anything new at all and would take weeks to even get a game.. but after around a year they greatly improved for me and always send me what I want.. I live in NC and their nearest warehouse is in pittsburgh.

      Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.
