After the last queue issues with NetFlix, I watched The Bucket List, Jumper and Strange Wilderness. I shipped them back to NetFlix as quick as possible, hoping to have new movies sent out today. I went in and set my Queue to try and get at least one disc from Burn Notice Season 1. So my queue was set with Burn Notice Season 1 Disc 1. Then I moved up Batman: Gotham Knight, which releases tomorrow. So the rest of my queue was Vantage Point, which had a Long Wait, Burn Notice Season 1 Disc 2, Burn Notice Season 1 Disc 3, The Spiderwick Chronicles, Burn Notice Season 1 Disc 4, Semi-Pro, The Mist, Juno, No Reservations and Drillbit Taylor.
So common sense say since Vantage Point has a Long Wait that I would get Batman: Gotham Knight and Burn Notice Season 1 Discs 2 and 3. Well, not so in the world of NetFlix. They are sending me Batman: Gotham Knight along with Vantage Point and The Spiderwick Chronicles. I don’t understand why the queue is a numbered list if they are just going to send whatever they feel like. And I love how Vantage Point goes from Long Wait to Shipped, it never hit Short Wait. Is this proof of NetFlix throttling New Releases in the queues of members to favor those on Free Trials? Obviously something is going on and NetFlix is playing with peoples queue’s for whatever reason. All the while, the last three Burn Notice Discs are marked Now, yet I still can rent them. I thought the queue was about what I wanted to rent? I guess not. NetFlix is making a great case to switch to Blockbuster.
