In Germany they're also testing a €19.99 ($23) 'Ultra' option that exclusively includes HDR while not limiting the number of streams on Premium:
Unsustainable? They're projected to make over a billion in profit this year at the old rates.
Netflix doesn't seem to understand, that with all the exclusive content on different platforms, customers will want to subscribe to multiple services to see all the popular shows. So good luck with increasing their prices. Will be funny when Disney launches their own platform next year and starts to remove the Marvel / Disney stuff from Netflix.
Who in germany pays that more just for HDR? Lächerlich ! Throw in 1 or 2 extra devices and this is maybe something to consider. I share with 4 buddies so i don't mind little price raises as long as i can keep sharing my account and split the bill.In Germany they're also testing a €19.99 ($23) 'Ultra' option that exclusively includes HDR while not limiting the number of streams on Premium:
Uh? There's Disney stuff in Netflix SpainAgain, Netflix do not have a Disney deal in Europe, and their growth has done fine.
And the vast (vast) majority of European subscribers are also subscribers to other services already.

They still have multiple Disney/Pixar movies, multiple Marvel movies and of course all those Marvel TV shows. When Disney will launch their service, it's only a matter of time until they will lose most of this content / the license to make new content.
And you don't think this will change when they a) increase prices that much and b) lose content at the same time?
If I had any Netflix stock, I would sell. Their shares seem highly overvalued, and the streaming market will be much more competitive in the future.
They do, but not everywhere in Europe, because there is no Country of Europe and licensing is done per country, not continent.Again, Netflix do not have a Disney deal in Europe, and their growth has done fine.

I do wonder if this board is simply too young to remember when modern pay television started in the 80s, and the cost, and how Netflix is obviously modelling themselves on that.
In 1989 Sky UK started charging £8 per month for their sub. Primarily due to their film channel. In 2018 a full Sky package is over £100 pm, and they ratcheted it up to capture market share which currently results in half the population subscribing (and their numbers are pretty steady - cord cutting is generally an American thing that doesn't really exist elsewhere).
Sound familiar? What did people think Netflix's stock market valuation was based on?
According to TuttoAndroid, users in Italy have noticed a new 'Ultra' plan costing an additional €3. The only discernible difference is the inclusion of HDR support. That seems like a lot of money for no extra screens or other perks, but for the moment this is just a test to see what people make of the new model.
The test shows different things to different people. In a move that would surely cause anger, some users noted that the Premium plan's number of screens had been reduced to just two. Time will tell whether Netflix decides to make any official changes to its pricing structure and roll them more widely. I can only hope the Premium plan I'm already paying for won't be affected.
"We continuously test new things at Netflix and these tests typically vary in length of time," Smita Saran, a Netflix spokeswoman, said in an email. "In this case, we are testing slightly different price points and features to better understand how consumers value Netflix."
Not all Netflix subscribers will see the test and the company may not ever offer the specific price points or features being tested, Saran said.

Can someone explain to me how you separate 4K and HDR? I thought HDR was a user side feature depending on if your TV supported it or not, not something able to be stripped from content? This is an honest question.
I already feel that the 4k hdr premium price is kind of pushing it as is...
I'd be curious if it also comes with a higher bitrate.

I'm pretty happy with it in Japan. Could probably live with streams cut at this point but they lock ultra hd and I'll be sad. Especially because prime here is cheap as hell
Will cancel and go all in with Amazon then. Not enough value at 1399 most of the year.
I think it is close to a year.If you cancel your Netflix sub, how long do they keep your profile (settings and lists) on file?
I'm expecting they'll start charging extra to get Netflix produced content at some point.
