The future of the home video market with a streaming download rental model?

[Elandyll]

They are set to start HD streaming on Nov. 19th on 360 and probably Tivo as well.

It is expected that other devices that offer Netflix (PC, Roku, etc.) would start doing the same shortly after.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't think it will go without hiccups, or we are lightyears ahead in technology compared to what I think most people can get as far as Bandwidth go, but it does make me wonder where we are headed with this "$9 a month gets you all the content you could ever dream of" (minus top notch quality) model...

(P.S: the HD offering will be a mere 300 movies to start with, and with a quality that is still to be evaluated, this thread is mostly speculation. Aka - Once Netflix would gain a significant market ownership, say 50% of American homes, what would prevent them from saying , it'll now be $200/month, etc.)
