The combination of DVDs plus unlimited Netflix Instant watch are the reason I signed on with Netflix. Take either the DVDs or the Instant watch away, and I would cancel. By adding the Instant Watch for no extra charge to their DVDs plans made me a new Netflix customer. Also, Netflix on the HD Tivo is great. Can't believe the image quality.

I'd really like to know more about this "exclusive" deal Netflix has with Microsoft to see who is making out better on the partnership. Rayburn's comments about "not 1 million consoles may not be that relevant, I don't really see a situation where someone would activate multiple netflix subs on one box, since each one requires an XBL Gold account it wouldn't even be an efficient way to game a longer trial run out of the system.
