The reason I used to like Netflix is that they had movies available for rent on the same day and date that a movie was released to DVD. Now they have agreed with at least Warner Bros. to wait 28 days from the DVD release date to rent DVDs. Having cut this deal with Warners, the rest of the studios will demand the same.
So, if you have a Netflix account and expect to get new releases to DVD on a timely basis, forget it.
