1397036 2015-03-23 19:55:00 Well its finally here. May be a cut down content compared to the USA version, but no more mucking about with hiding IP's etc.

The pricing is what was expected. www.netflix.com

Depends if you want a decent catalog or not. I'll keep my dns service that allows me to us the US catalog - may recreate my account and pay nz pricing though - but it's $12.99NZD or $7.99USD at the moment for me (comparing the HD streaming plans)

1397038 2015-03-23 22:45:00 if you've got a grandfathered US plan, you will obviously lose this if you quit and create a new account nmercer (3899)
1397039 2015-03-23 22:51:00 If I sign up for the NZ version will my NZ login still work with a VPN to the US and see the US catalog?? paulw (1826)

Yeah, but given you were only able to keep that for 1 year (2?) then pricing will change later anyway.

I would suspect so...

Yes, it currently does. Whether they have any intention to change this I don't know.

1397042 2015-03-24 04:32:00 Have just renewed my US Netflix, $8.99 US. Almost the same cost as NZ Netflix launch. But wait, there's more! Netflix App is now on the IPad App Store. Not only that, but it works with streaming from PS4.

1397043 2015-03-24 05:23:00 Apparently the Australian Netflix is quite limited, down from ~8500 down to ~1300 titles.
That's a 7,000 title difference.
Word on the street is the NZ Netflix is even *more* limited than Australia, due to the fact Neon and Lightbox have already got rights to a large number of shows.

If you have a US Netflix account, keep it.
