Forums - General Discussion - Netflix Introduces Qwikster, Adds Game Rentals

Reed Hastings, Co-Founder and CEO of Netflix recently unveiled some pretty big changes coming to the massively popular video streaming service. In addition to apologizing for the new pricing scheme that upset many of their customers, Hastings unveiled a new mail-based service called Qwikster that will take the place Netflix’s DVD mail service and include video games.

Since streaming has become so popular for the company, Netflix proper will become a streaming-only service, while Qwikster will serve as the company’s new mail-based option. Video games will be integrated much like Blu-ray movies; for a premium price, rentals for games on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii will all be available.

I really like how they are adding game rentals. Any news on how much it may cost a month?



Meh, I'll cancel my suscription at the end of this month.

Also, it seems Qwikster's selection of games is quite paltry http://t.co/FmUVBtPv

Why? If I may ask.

Also i'm sure they will add more games as time goes by.
