I'd be all for it for movies. If netflix could have their full collection on their instant watch, I'd be very happy to just rely on that. I already don't buy that many movies any more (have 300+ but had 95% of that before joining netflix a couple years ago) to save the money and space of buying movies I hardly ever get around to watching.
Music I'm not into streaming as I like having the CDs and MP3s to put where ever I want. Video games I'd be pretty opposed to as they cost more and I mainly get them from a game trading site (Goozex) and trade them in after beating them.
So I guess I'd say I'm mixed on moving to digital content--be it purchased or renting access to streaming. It's great for movies if I could just pay a monthly free and pull up anything I wanted to watch vs. having to get a disc in the mail or buy a disc. But I'm more hesitant for music and video games.
With books I'd be for it since I seldom re-read. If I could pay Amazon $10 a month for 1 book out at a time rentals on my Kindle like I do Netflix for movies I'd jump on it in a second.
