Netflix to Offer Streaming-Only Option
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "Digital Home News" @ 04:00 AM
"This news may not be a surprise, given the huge success of Netflix's Watch Instantly streaming service, which had been activated over 1 million times on Xbox Live the last time we checked -- accounting for about 10 percent of its subscriptions. Regardless, word has come from Netflix's CFO Barry McCarthy that the company plans to offer a streaming-only service 'in the near future.'"
No price as of yet, but I'll bet on $4.99 or less given that for $8.99 you can get 1 disk at a time with unlimited exchanges and unlimited streaming.
