With Netflix streaming, you are getting backlist ( Two year old movies and tv shows) and indie stuff . You don't get the latest releases or premium content like HBO. I suspect that the price will go up even on what we are getting now as content providers have found out that people will pay for the convenience of streaming, even if the picture quality is less than DVD quality and the content is outdated.
In the same way a subscription plan for indie stuff and deep backlist makes sense. A subscription plan doesn't make sense for the latest and the greatest unless the price goes way up.
