Anybody like the new layout for netflix? - Blu-ray Forum

BLU STEAL · 03-26-2008, 08:14 PM

I hate the new layout the old one told you if the movie was a long wait and in what format. I just looked over my list of movies and it no longer shows how long of a wait.

Actually it is not the same topic. I am asking if anyone likes the new format not what happened to it.

Seems like they are still changing it according to the other Netflix post, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense changing it the way they did. If they were going to change anything they should've made it easier to view new releases, which has always been my knock on Netflix. I have to go to another site to view what is going to come out and then go back to Netflix to enter in each movie individually.

My queue still shows wait times when there is one. I do hate the poor access to new releases though. New releases have higher demand, obviously, so by reducing knowledge of them, they will reduce demand, allowing reduction of inventory and expense. Less service, same price.

My queue also shows the wait times... the new design will definitely a while to get used to, especially the home page, I don't like it right now!
A few months ago you were still able to just have a list of all new releases and not having to browse through the categories... argh!

I'm fairly happy with it and see myself getting used to it quick,.

The change in access to new releases is what made me put my account on hold. I hate that you can't even see what is being released this week. The way they have it set up now shows 'new releases' that have been out for months. There are roughly 40 new titles each week released, and right now you will never know what they are on Netflix.

How do you tell if a title in your queue is Blu-ray or not?

I haven't figured that one out yet. I guess if it is available in BD, your copy should come as BD. I liked when it listed if it was BD or DVD, because I would usually try to rent the BDs on my list first.

That and some movies that are on Blu-ray weren't listed as being on Blu-ray for Netflix. So I have a movie like "The Omega Man" at the bottom of my queue because it was still only listed as being on DVD. When they finally got the Blu-ray in, I was going to push it to the top. Happens all the time, they'll end up getting the BD at a later date.

But now, how do I know?

It certainly is different, I'll give it that. It's going to take a little bit of getting used to. The homepage is different and so is the browse instant. I don't see any other major changes though.
