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...

Good article about Nexflix's long term strategy.

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.

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