Might see my money again after all.
They still have an end to Starz coming next month, though. I was just looking through the Starz list to see if there was anything I'd better watch before the deal ends but while there's a lot of good "rainy Sunday" movies, there's not a lot of top notch stuff (they do have the new Tron but Tron is one of the few movies I would say you should definitely see in Bluray. I don't think their streaming version is even HD, though a lot of native Netflix stuff is.)
I still do 1 disc + unlimited streaming. Costs more than it used to but there's still no other, better choice.
I think this deal will hurt Starz a lot more than Netflix. I was reading that they plan to release their own streaming service but a) is anyone going to pay for JUST Starz? and b) I'll be surprised if they suddenly jump out with a big list of supported devices.
