Warner Bros is forcing Netflix customers to wait 28 days before renting movies that the studio produces. I think this is ridiculous, and it won't last for long. People are not going to rush out and buy DVD's.
Very few people feel the need to own movies, with the exceptions for movies that are watched often. In my case, this may be 3-5 total movies. With music, people can listen to a song multiple times a day, so ownership makes sense. But the public has made it pretty clear that they are content to rent movies, and Netflix has come out on top.
I predict that customers are going to complain big time to Netflix and possibly the studios. With the only option to buy the movie (its not like you can walk into a Blockbuster anymore, with most of them closed) or wait 28 days, I'll wait 28 days.
