+1 on that. Also, I've read that the streaming movie selection is
pathetic compared to the DVD selection. I assuming that NetFlix is
pushing streaming so it can get away from postage; but I would rather
pay more and keep the DVDs.

A couple of things lately have made me wonder if they're subtly pushing
people off DVDs. First, they moved their distribution center to Salt lake.
From where I live, that's two days for mail delivery. They do not appear to
work on Saturdays either, so for the most part no matter when I mail a DVD,
I'm not going to see a replacement until the Wednesday of next week. This is
close to the throttling that got them into trouble before.

More troubling, I've got about 50 titles on my queue currently with about
50% being short, long, or very long waits. One is 'unknown' and has been in
that status literally for years. Several of the long waits have been there
for months. Actually, the newer TV series seem to do better than the older
theatrical movies. What I really liked about Netflix was the ability to get
classic, foreign, and obscure DVDs. If they drop those in favor of new
releases, RedBox beckons.
