It doesn't matter what alternatives you use, the movie industry is about to ramp up their efforts to drive all of them into the ground.

I refuse to "rent" a digital movie that costs the same as buying a BluRay. Making people wait years before they can see a movie on a flat fee streaming service is just going to increase piracy.

I'm thinking about cancelling netflix at least until they start adding new movies to streaming, or at least movies I have heard of.

And now they want to get heavy into gaming......Sorry but the fixed costs would be a lot higher, and the shelf life shorter.

Gamefly is doing damn well with gaming...

One of the movies I've watched on Instant before is now DVD only. Not happy.
