Netflix will never work either, that would be stupid, wich publisher would give away his shows for subscription or rental ?

"Pachter is a joke", I say.

You do realize that studios have forced Netflix into delaying their release of current movies so that they can reap the benefits of greater physical disc sales.

You undermine your own argument with your example.

Is netflix dead ? If not, I don't see how my argument is valid.

Netflix makes tons of money and I see no reason why psNow wouldn't.

Netflix and Redbox survive because the studios allow them to.  They make more money via On Demand services through TV services or physical copies than they do rentals.  Nothing prevents studios pulling their content, as some have done from Netflix, and forcing consumers to use an alternate means of access.
