Netflix starts Quikster spin-off, will start renting out games
The following information comes from Netflix CEO and co-founder Reed Hastings...
- Quikster will handle DVD/Blu-ray and game disc rentals
- renting 360, PS3 and Wii games
"One improvement we will make at [Qwikster's] launch is to add a video games upgrade option, similar to our upgrade option for Blu-ray, for those who want to rent Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Members have been asking for video games for many years, and now that DVD by mail has its own team, we are finally getting it done.
...if you subscribe to both services, and if you need to change your credit card or email address, you would need to do it in two places. Similarly, if you rate or review a movie on Qwikster, it doesn't show up on Netflix, and vice-versa."
All I can say is, GameFly is in for a fight...
