My hope is more that studios will begin to open up their back catalog stuff, and license them out. I don't think I'll ever live in a world where I can just pay Netflix a few bucks a month, but I'd be willing to pay Netflix, Amazon, and HBO, let's say. Especially if all three of them produce top, original stuff as well.


Right now I use netflix mainly for it's supply of TV shows. I can watch the west wing, doctor who, firefly, etc. all on demand without worrying about dvds. But I think their movie library mostly blows. But I hope that changes soon. Once everyone stops being so scared of cable companies. It's going to take a couple more years at least.
Why be scared of cable companies? Oh, because they rape your wallet.
