And what's the problem with streaming? I think I use the Netflix Instant more than any other service on my 360 and that includes playing games. Hell I have the 1 disc plan with Netflix and can't even remember the last disc I had out, I think we sent back Marley & Me months ago and I never bothered to put another title in my "DVD Queue". It's all Instant Queue for me.

Same rental by mail plan, and if you have a store nearby, you can return a title in store. What's not to like? Neflix streaming is fine for what it is, but if you like AQ and VQ then it is nothing but a crapshoot. Unless you pick a Starz movie, they all suck. Crappy sound, 4:3 crops and spotty VQ at best. And now Criterion titles are on Hulu. And Amazon just jumped into the mix as well. Maybe now Netflix will actually work on their streaming quality instead of attempting to force everyone away from disc. Hmmm, actually improving their product instead of trying to make everyone choose it by price hikes, and punitive policies on their disc customers. What a novel concept.
