HomeMedia Magazine reports that "Subscriptions for online video downloads generate 20 times the revenue and three to five times the monthly fees of comparable pay-per-download (PPD) business models, according to content aggregator Versaly Entertainment." It makes a lot of sense: pay-per-view is expensive ($4+ per title) and has a very limited viewing window.

Glad to hear it. Too bad we can't (necessarily) conclude that more revenue translates into greater profit.

It is pathetic that I cannot stream from my Linux or Playstation3 system. Combine that with the U.S. Postal service stopping service on Saturday, and the pathetic availability of Blu-Ray versions of movies, and Netflix subscriptions become even less valuable.

You said it, banter.
I mean, Mike chooses, of his own free will, to use a home-brewed operating system with a famously anti-DRM user community, and a game console made by a company that's invested heavily into physical Blu-Ray media. And suddenly it becomes Netflix's fault that streaming isn't available?
Besides, five-day delivery is going to drop Tuesday, not Saturday, if it ever goes into effect. And contract mailers are unaffected -- in other words, Netflix can continue receiving and sending out mail on Tuesdays. Only the so-called "last mile" is affected.
