I subscribe to more of them than I probably should, considering that I am now technically a gentleman of leisure. But the constant disappearing of content sours the entire experience.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fully agreed. I own everything I want to watch. I rented a movie last night for the first time in a few years. I did subscribe to Netflix DVD (Blu-Ray) service 2 months ago and am very happy with it. Netflix HD streaming, 1080P purchases via iTunes and pirated content never compare to the crisp beauty of physical media in the form of Blu-Ray. My only complaint with Blu-Ray media is that I can\u2019t skip the theatrical previews.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had friends come to my house to watch shows that I own and are stored on my NAS that were recently removed from Netflix before they were done with the series. I often joke about being the community Blockbuster when the cloud finally gets locked down after Zombie Apocalypse strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Until i can pay $100 a month for every movie, TV show and album every produced (even indies), I won\u2019t be switching over from owning content.
