Netflix testing lower price plans

Netflix has a 1-out plan at $9.99/month, "unlimited," but they are testing lower priced plans which are not unlimited, but rather have different monthly limits of 2, 3, or 4 DVDs. If you have been a Netflix customer before, you can't see the lower price plans unless you first delete your Netflix cookie and reload the Netflix.com home page. You may have to reload it several times until you get the lowest price possible, which is $4.99 at the moment. Then sign up.

Here is where your cookie resides on your Windows XP system:

C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Your cookie will look like a plain text file, like this:

cookie:yourusername@netflix.com

That's the file you delete.
