Netflix queue status always “Short Wait” or “Very Long Wait”

Notice anything missing with the picture above?

No Netflix envelopes and the family is watching from a laptop.  That should be the new Netflix splash page picture because that is becoming reality.

It has been reported that nearly half of Netflix subscribers are streaming, thats about 6 million out of the 12 million total subscribers.  I take advantage of the ability to watch instantly but the content is not as new as I would like.

If they actually start having just released streaming, then it wouldn’t be too much of a problem.  However, since its not, I still have to rely on the old-fashioned Netflix method via postal mail to receive the new movies on Blu-ray.

Unfortunately, even then I am still forced to watch instantly or stream because the movies I really want to watch are unavailable with a status of a “short wait”, “long wait” or “very long wait”.  What does that mean?  Mind as well put it as “unavailable indefinitely” because I don’t know when my movie is coming.

Take a look at my queue.

Are you a subscriber and tired of the “long wait” status of new releases?  Discuss.
