Unlimited Movie Viewing

by Kelly on January 14th, 2008

Netflix removed the online viewing limits for users today.  Users will be able to watch as many movies online as they would like.  Before users could only watch the number of hours of movies that corresponded with their purchase amount for the month.  If a user had a $4.99 a month membership they could watch 5 hours of movies a month.  Apple has been rumored to be releasing iTunes movie rentals that will be around $3.99 apiece to download.  If NetFlix customers are aloud to download unlimited movies this will force apple to look for a different kind of revenue.  Netflix is also releasing a set top box for users to stream movies directly to their television and eliminate the need for a disk.
