NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Netflix is rapidly expanding its international service, with plans to launch in 43 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean later this year.
The new markets -- which include Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean -- will give those members access to Netflix content in Spanish, Portuguese or English. They'll be able to watch "American, local and global TV," Netflix said Tuesday.
The new markets will be streaming-only -- which is Netflix's plan for all international markets, a company spokesman said.
Netflix (NFLX) launched its instant streaming service in the U.S. in 2007, eight years after it launched its DVDs-by-mail service. U.S. Netflix customers can buy a streaming-only subscription for $7.99 per month, or mix streaming and mailed DVDs under plans starting at $9.99 per month.
Netflix made its first international foray in Canada late last year. The company has said for months that it was planning to soon launch in two more international markets.

I can't afford to take the chance on messing with my net settings. Its how i make my livelyhood yuh know.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #10 on:** July 06, 2011, 08:55:25 AM »

lol, it really is painless Ultimate. I've done it a few times. Takes like 5 minutes and easy to revert.

But it does cost money.....and if Netflix goes this route....you won't need to spend that $$ to get your stream on.

Win Win

Yeah and it will be easier for friends and family that aren't as tech savvy to sign up for it.

Netflix officially launching in the Caribbean on September 12th!

So get ready to cancel that unblock.us account and your existing US netflix account.
I just hope you guys don't get a skimped catalogue.

Or worse yet, Movies with Spanish Dialoge

Well they did say for the Caribbean that they're doing both English and Spanish. So seems like they did a bit of research as opposed to the half-assed other companies (cable, satellite etc.) not catering for multi-languages.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #15 on:** September 05, 2011, 04:41:31 PM »

I'm willing to bet, just like DirecTV and Flow, that the Caribbean region will get lumped
in with Latin America, and get the same raw deal, in terms of the actual content.

Spanish-language movies in allyuh mc.

Not too eager to give up the unblock-us acct just yet. Mih instant queue real thick of late.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #16 on:** September 05, 2011, 06:07:41 PM »

Well it looks promising that we have a separate launch date from some of the other spanish speaking countries.

+1 for the update Apprentice.

A few folks found the vpn process a bit much so this will be welcome news for them.

Fkacn_tt · « **Reply #17 on:** September 05, 2011, 08:23:07 PM »

not sure if it has been mentioned but the service you would receive would be a bit different from the US i.e. You may not have some of the movies and shows available in the US.

Redfish · « **Reply #18 on:** September 05, 2011, 09:07:41 PM »

son of a!!!! looks like it go be best you stick with the VPN cause I'm sure they gonna take out all the good stuff.....

Arcmanov · « **Reply #19 on:** September 05, 2011, 09:28:43 PM »

LOL...lawd, can I un-strikeout my above post now?
