Absolutely. From strong anecdotal and empirical evidence, the hardware and design quality may go unnoticed by the majority of public, if the advertised feature set doesn't appear to justify the price difference.

Getting back to Netflix vs Blockbuster, the price was IMO even more of a factor than the individual laziness. At least for me it was. In the beginning I signed up to the $5.99/month one-at-home plan, thinking that even if I only rent two DVDs a month, I am already better off that getting them for $4 at Blockbuster. RedBox automatic rental kiosks appear to be doing quite well, and their only advantage over Blockbuster is the price.
