Netflix, whose core business remains DVD rentals, although it also has a video streaming service attached to its plans, may launch video streaming only pricing as early as next year, according to comments made by CEO Reed Hastings in a interview with Bloomberg.

If $9 a month for 1 dvd out at a time with UNLIMITED streaming is making your account at a loss I really think you should reconsider paying next months high speed internet bill...

I see what Netflix want's to do, but I would think $9 would be a decent rate to have unlimited streaming to your box or pc...

I figured that would get as low as it could get. By my question to Netflix is why wait 1 year to bring the price down when it may what go down like $1 or maybe $2 when you can do the streaming now for $9?

Just does not make sense...

Just don't see unless they want to bring the entire collection to be able to stream why they have to wait a year to offer a internet only service that you can already use?
