So there has been a bit of a snafu about Netflix maybe moving toward heavily encouraging streaming (cheaper for them), and I'm not a big fan. This is because most of what I watch via Netflix is foreign stuff. I like choosing my langauge track and subtitle combos myself, and I love extra features. Maybe they've improved lately from how they were the last time I looked into it (nothing was available), but I don't think so.
Some friends recently tried to watch an old silent movie I had recommended, and they hated it because the soundtrack was awful. I rented that disc last year, and it had about 6 options for soundtracks, so you could pick which one you wanted. Three of them were excellent. My friends didn't get any choice but a crappy one. They also didn't have the option to listen to the commentary (which wasn't that good, honestly, but it did have some new information I found interesting).
Until streaming really gives me the same functions and choices as DVDs, I'm just not going to be a fan.
How about you?
