Before anyone says anything:

DVD.com is owned by Netflix. And honestly, if you're hooked on the availability of content and don't want to ditch the Netflix pipeline completely, switching to DVD.com probably makes sense. The revenue shift from Netflix to DVD.com will have the same net impact on spending decisions.

Yeah, they even have a bundle deal to have DVDs and some level of streaming. It is interesting because at one point Netflix was trying to sell of the disc shipping business because physical media was dead and the whole service felt neglected.

Now that mailing you a disc is the only way they can get you certain content, the service is back closer to the level it was when they were killing Blockbuster.
