The best plan would just attach a price to each rental and let the user
assign the delivery date. If the new movies cost more than they cost
more. If someone wants 5 movies on Feb 20th just send wend them 5 movies
and bill them $7 to $12. Whatever the price. No nonsense. No games. Just
convenient service at a good price. The Netflix throttling is only hurting
Netflix. I know several people with Netflix who end up going to
Blockbuster on the weekend because Netflix is late with the DVD's. Keep in
mind they are not upgrading their Netflix account. They are going to the
competition to get the movies when they want them. The same for new
movies. After watching a movie sit at the top of the queue for 4 weeks
they just go to the local store and rent it. Again Netflix loses.
Eventually we will all just cancel netflix.
