    Oh sorry guys, this is probably all my fault. I cancelled my Netflix subscription last month...

    I think it's great that a major movie studio (Warner) has finally realized that this streaming thing is not a fad. Hopefully other studios will follow. Bad news for cable TV providers in the long run though.

    There have been a lot of updates to the information regarding this story throughout today, and they are now saying the list is closer to 1,000 titles rather than 2000.

    Either way, I'll stick with my streaming subscription (I don't have the dvd subscription anymore). And there's no way I'm paying for yet another service, no matter which movie company. And if the day comes when Netflix is no longer worth the $7.99 a month, I'll cancel it. It's just not that big of a priority for me.

    Wow, very interesting. I still enjoy getting a real movie that I can own on an actual disk. I don't like streaming.

      More and more companies are already planning on streaming only, this includes movies, video games, software, music, magazines, newspapers and books.

        Your thoughts on that, astemerman?
        I prefer streaming movies and music, because I can try things out that I wouldn't otherwise buy. But I purchase hard copies of video games and books so I can exchange with friends (and because they provide more hours of entertainment).
        Streaming / cloud storage of media will make more money for whoever is distributing it because it's hard to share.
        Oh and when the internet goes down? We're screwed.

    I looked at a news article on this and it said those titles are likely not popular...funny, those are usually the only kind I watch because they look like they were put together by folks that want a movie to say something vs. graphically entertain you into a driveling mess.

      Thats just them trying to keep their subscribers... We're talking about All of the Universal, MGM and Warner Brothers movies. Those are big companies that distribute blockbuster movies.
