Netflix Eliminating Profiles (noooooo)

Netflix Eliminating Profiles (noooooo)

So, I just got this email from Netflix.

Important News Regarding Netflix Profiles
Dear Andrew,
We wanted to let you know we will be eliminating Profiles, the feature that allowed you to set up separate DVD Queues under one account, effective September 1, 2008.
Each additional Profile Queue will be unavailable after September 1, 2008. Before then, we recommend you consolidate any of your Profile Queues to your main account Queue or print them out.
While it may be disappointing to see Profiles go away, this change will help us continue to improve the Netflix website for all our customers.
If you have any questions, please go to http://www.netflix.com/Help?p_faqid=3962 or call us anytime at 1 (888) 638-3549. We apologize for any inconvenience.
- The Netflix Team

Awww c’mon Netflix! why do you have to do this to me?!!?

This means that families who have taken advantage of the awesome ability to split queues under one account will loose this great feature and will have to share the one queue and fight (there will be fighting) over who gets what in the queue next.

Not cool Netflix.

    i too think that this is bad news. i just received the email, and i'm in the same exact boat. two users, one household, big fan of the profiles feature.

    I called them up. I was pissed about this news.

    The merging of the profiles will not work. Not at all.

    I agree--this is a very bad move on Netflix's part--what were they thinking? Piss off many customers to make engineering our website easier? Dumb move...

    You'd better believe there's going to be queue fighting...to rival the gladiators... I had better be stunned into shock over this revamped website of theirs.
