I guess Netflix is phasing out their disc service because it seems to be a US-only thing while they are aiming to be an international video streaming provider.

Amazon streaming service seems to be only available in the US while Netflix is aggressively expanding internationally. Netflix also makes it really easy to circumvent their region coding system to get an access to their full catalogue.
