The idea of streaming content on a pay-as-you-go basis only is just not for me, and I will not support the push towards this myself.
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.
