For the record, since Netflix Canada launched sometime last year, it has been a streaming-only service. We have a kind of sucky selection that is getting better as time passes, but I can understand why they went streaming-only. From this perspective, it's pretty odd seeing people disapproving of the choice or showing attachment to the DVD service.

Totally agree. There is so much to hate about the DVD watching experience - the menus, unskippable ads/trailers, poor image quality, getting stuck on a scratch - I can't wait for them to disappear.

But, i'm guessing the DVD fans are actually arguing for the larger catalog, not for plastic discs.

For me, it most definitely is the large catalog size, easily 10x the streaming size.
