Netflix Losing Profiles

I just received an e-mail informing me that Netflix is not going to support profiles anymore. Profile are a way of dividing up your movie queue into multiple queues. I currently pay for 8 movies, which means 8 movies at a time. Normally you put all your movies in a queue and they send you 8 at a time. With the profiles I was able to “redirect” part of the main queue to another queue. I let my son use a 1 movie queue, so its like he has his own 1 movie at a time subscription and I have a 7 movie at a time subscription. I further divide my queue into a second 1 movie at a time queue (dropping my main queue to 6 movies at a time). I use this last queue to rent old movies without impacting the new releases I rent for my family.

But why aren’t they reducing the price with this reduction in service? Good question. Maybe I should ask BlockBuster.
