Re: Amazon said by Rob:Amazon, on the other hand, has movies like The Hangover, Star Trek, and Terminator Salvation, on instant viewing. But they're $14.99 to stream! Amazon doesn't have an all-u-can-eat model like Netflix do they?
EDIT: Just saw they have a $2.99 rental, my bad. |

Netflix could do something where you don't won't get any DVDs in the mail, but you can get 5 movies per month streamed, latest titles. I know some people would go with that.
I'm actually considering cancelling Netflix. We now have a whole lot of redbox's in my area, plus I have Amazon on my roku, I don't even need Netflix.

| I wouldn't be opposed to the $14.99 to own some movie, but I need to research the DRM involved. For that price I want to be able to watch it on my PC, streaming to my TV, or take it on a trip with my Ipod or Zune.
And something tells me that isn't something the studios would be supporting in their current mindset. |

Listen Hollywood. I'm not going to buy the DVD if I'm interested in renting. I'll wait the 30 days. Or maybe I'll just get tired of waiting and torrent it. Is that better?
Remember guys these are the same idiots that tried to kill the VCR because it was going to kill their business model. Of course as well all know it did just the opposite. Of course if you go way back they thought TV was bad too. Every new medium that they though was hurtful to thier business they fought and every single time that thing they fought actually helps them earn billions more in revenues. Why they can't learn that lesson from history I'm not quite sure? |

I'd advise you to think twice---- The Netflix catalog is deep, while Redbox, yes, it has new releases, but the catalog is shallow. I consider the two complimentary services, in many ways.
