In case you hadn’t heard yet, Netflix has decided, in answer to complaints out its pricing increases, to complicate matters even more. It will be splitting off its DVD rental service into something called “Qwikster.”
One unpleasant side effect is that when instant streaming and DVD renting are split up, users will have to manage two separate lists of movies and renting options. Unpleasant? Yes. The above Venn diagram shows what that’ll be like. (Please excuse the terrible handwriting.)
