I'm done with disc rentals of any kind. I have almost 700 HD DVD/BD titles now. From now on I'll either be purchasing the title or watching it from VOD on VUDU, 360, FIOS VOD, or the PS3. Or watching it streaming from Netflix from my TiVos or 360.
I dropped Blockbuster and I came back to Netflix strictly for the video streaming, I will not be renting any discs.

And my future purchases will be very low while my future VOD watchings will be very high.
Yeah but you have to pay like $8.99 for unlimited streaming or a little less for a limited streaming plan. You are still paying for the DVD rental. Seems a waste of money to not rent them if you are paying for it anyway. If they had a streaming only plan that would be cool but they would have to get a much better streaming selection for that.
For the past 11 months I had Blockbuster rental. I rented 3 or 4 BD titles. The last title sat there for almost 5 montsh and I returned it without viewing it. I watched more titles from the Netflix streaming in the past month than I have all year from renting at Blockbuster. The $8.99 is worth it for me. Plus I have three VUDU boxes I use for VOD, a PS3, several 360s, several HDTiVos, and a FIOS HD STB for VOD also. $8.99 a month is inexpensive to have those titles available for instant viewing. For titles I want to watch from disc I will just purchase those Blu-ray Discs.
