So let's eliminate our competition(Blockbuster) but offering services dirt cheap. Once out of the picture, let's them become them. Bastards. I'd have no problem paying more but why not put everything online so that it can be streamed. The online offerings are very limited and all the new stuff can only be had DVD. I'm probably just going to eliminate this service completely and download everything via Astraweb and/or torrents online.

That's just one step away from totally doing away with dvds.... an incentive, if you will, to do nothing but stream. Newer titles will be streaming soon.
