A new expiration date for Manga titles? (from instantwatcher.com)

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about Manga Entertainment titles expected to expire from Netflix’s instant streaming service on April 1st. It’s April 11th and a fair number of them are still available including Blood: The Last Vampire, Dead Space: Downfall, and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. (Thanks to an update ANN did on their story for reminding me to re-check.)

So, what is the current status of those titles? Instantwatcher.com, the source for the first post, shows April 30th as expiration dates for those same titles but there’s no corresponding indication on Netflix’s site; the latest date on instantwatcher.com that matches with Netflix’s date is April 18th (next Sunday) so I think Netflix only does alerts a week ahead. FeedFliks has an “expiring soon” listing that extends two weeks in the future – it reaches until April 25th when looking at it today so the Manga titles should show up on that list on Friday Apr. 16 if both sites are using the same data.

I guess we’ll have to see what happens at the end of the month but for now, enjoy the disc-less content if you’re a subscriber on an unlimited plan.
