Lets just hope netflix doesn't get greedy as the other movie rental businesses fail. I'm surprised netflix hasnt moved into the video game business as redbox has.

Yea, adding video games would be nice but the price plans for those options would be higher (of course).  If they could undercut gamefly with having 1 video game disc out at a time while having ability to instant stream and 1 dvd disc out at a time it would be game over for gamefly.

Yea, that would be good. I bet they wouldnt even have to up the price too far because offering one movie, one game, and instant streaming for $12.95 or something would result in so many NEW customers coming from gamefly since its $15.95 over there.


Yea, Netflix may do something like that in future, but they would have to buy a lot of video game software first.  Maybe after they build up some capital they can venture into that and steal gamefly's customer base.

Anyways, right now for Wii instant stream (and probably all instant streaming) there is no closed caption option and turning it on through your tv won't work either with the instant stream (at least not my tv).  They should put closed caption in English at least.  My roomate knows English decently but she has a hard time sometimes with some shows at understanding everything.  It doesn't stop her from watching instant stream but she doesn't understand everything that is going on in movie/tv show. 

Thats a very good point. My parents are deaf so they can not enjoy the instant streaming.
