So, I checked out Redbox the other day and for $1 I can rent a new movie. Great. But I don't want to drive to the store to pickup & return.<p>Is there any reason why Netflix can't just charge me $1 to rent new movies for 24hrs? What's the difference between streaming or dvd pickup to the studios?
Why doesn't redbox let me get as many movies as I want for 10$ a month? They are pursuing different avenues. The guys at netflix prefer a stead stream of income and carrying a much larger selection. If you want to rent online there are several sources that will allow you to do that. Why demand it of Netflix.
