Fox & Universal screw over Netflix users
Are you a Netflix user? I am, it’s pretty awesome, especially that instant streaming thing.
A while ago Warner Bros. decided that Netflix was hurting their profits on new DVD purchases. They decided that Netflix wouldn’t get the new WB releases until 28 days after the original release date.
Now Fox and Universal have joined in on the fail. Want to see Avatar when it releases on April 22? Too bad, you better go buy it because Netflix isn’t getting it until May!
Now this sounds like a lot of bad news, there is a bit of win in this screw over. In the deal with Warner Bros. Netflix managed to secure more from the back catalog for the Instant Streaming feature. Fox and Universal have both agreed to do this.
That probably explains why 7 seasons of the Jack Bauer epic 24 are all available to stream…
