I know, I run the software for SugarDVD.com, the largest rental by mail for Adult DVDs online. Hats off to NFLX for addressing this publically and quickly. Anyone who gets upset at their delay can drive to the video store or use video-on-demand!</p> Running the systems for DVD rentals is complex and NFLX is solid!

It was a massive cluster. I’m sure they’re more upset and stunned than most of the customers. It did “force” me to purchase my first DVD in years, but it’s not a big deal.

I received two emails last night or early this morning. First that a disc I had returned was received (they probably got it Weds) and that a disc for me was shipped and would arrive on Friday which was somewhat odd. So the backlog was mechanical and digital.

But why on earth would they be doing such a thing? If the company "doesn't know" what caused the failure, how did they know about it in the first place?</p> This is really bizarre and almost reeks of a planned outage, especially the perfect timing.
