WTH with this thread...I never said...never said...it was because people werent watching streaming. Of course its because content creation. I said from the begining they couldn't sustain the spending. My point is people gave been saying physical media is dead with facts and figures for years now....still waiting. Do I have to freaking repeat every time I know its a niche and a small niche at that but it will be here for at least another five years or so and by then we'll have most of what we want. Steaming is pulling titles left and right and to have something you can play anytime I want is awesome.

Im done posting and will just lurk for occasional info. Tired of having posts misread and crapped on. Why dont we just make this a streaming info site. Too much negativity and they keep kicking out all the interesting guys like Joel anyway.

And inevitably, most if not all of them will add commercials, like Prime, beginning this month, which will ruin the exclusivity of streaming for pretty much everyone. Their overspending has led to this inevitability, aside from which, advertising dollars are like crack cocaine to an addict. Once they get a taste, they want more and simply will not turn off the spigot.
