Thanks for that info, that sounds just like the pin menu idea a Netflix staff member was boasting about, and I'm glad the idea of titles only being pinned or queued for limited time went down badly!
I really don't know why Netflix don't just give us the instant queue US customers enjoy. Their excuse is that US users get an instant queue which they can add up to 500 titles and the queues get filled up with titles a user never will get round to watching and fill their queue up with so many titles they can't find things they saved. Netflix don't want the same thing to happen with non-US users so they removed the feature all together. My arguement has always been rather than deprive non-US customers of an instant queue, why don't they just reduce the queue size down to a manageable level?, something like a queue limited to 100 or 75 titles.
