Your Feature Wishlist

What do you still want to see on the Netflix site? (Let's leave out the obvious few since we know about them and know how much you want them: >500 things in queue, 1/2 stars, mac-based instant watching, linux support, 7-day shipping, etc.)

What ELSE?

I'm on dialup so obviously that feature is entirely useless to me. It could be setup like the blu ray option.

I do love that the Netflix site is respectably fast on dialup. Far too many sites anymore have tons of little fancy and not so useful things that greatly increase load times (Ning widgets here for example); it's nice to have sites like Netflix that don't.; ▶ Reply to This

But the Instant Watch content is free. You aren't paying more for your dvd subscription than you were (Blu-Ray controversies aside).; ▶ Reply to This

Sometimes it makes a difference. Especially when there's been a lot of hype surrounding a movie initially, later, people's opinions may have mellowed out or be more neutral. I know we have the "Recent Reviews" on the first page, but that only dates a few.; ▶ Reply to This

Yes, I know that new releases sometimes are postponed, but if the code were based on the initial date given, then at least *some* of the nonreviews would be prevented.

Maybe the people who are in competetion to be the first to post on a new page, would go elsewhere for a while. Maybe.; ▶ Reply to This

Just be able to hit a button and everything lists alphabetically, and if then if anything needs to be up front I'll assign it accordingly.; ▶ Reply to This

There are also other scripts that may be useful for your use of Netflix, like small movie notes in the queue etc. It's pretty cool, imo.; ▶ Reply to This
