It does not bode well for the future of Netflix (my hunch -- they will be pushing big time for downloads instead of physical rentals. Expect to see major price increases for the physical discs over the next year or so in order to accommodate this).

There is still a hidden page that was added back because of all the requests -- there is no active link to it, so if you don't know the url you'd have a hard time finding it.
I'll post the link when I get home tonight if I remember.
What annoyed me was when they changed their RSS feed order. It Used to be the major studios were ordered at the top and the lesser studios and fitness wrestling movies that nobody cares about at the bottom -- so you could feasibly look at the top 10-20 movies and know what worthy titles were coming out. Now it's ordered by genre (with no real way of telling what movie is what genre if you don't recognize any titles in the RSS feed), and it made it nearly useless as far as finding out what new titles are coming that week.
