said by rmdir:For heavens sake, if they are going to offer half the DVD selections, then charge me half the price. I don't necessarily expect the newest releases immediately for streaming, but why is it I want to watch a movie that's 4 or 5 years old and it's not available? For $4 a month I wouldn't expect much, but for $8 per month I'd expect more. This deal stinks, they aren't offering a lot, they are just asking a lot.
I think $8 a month is a superb deal for streaming only. Of course it depends on how much you use it. But I find alot of Netflix streaming content worth watching.
