Suddenly, they're gone from my queue, and now I have to go back to getting them on DVD... which I won't. But, I don't get why they do that. They did the same thing with "Rosemary's Baby". Seems to me they lose money on DVDs with having to pay for postage both ways. At one point, I was getting 2 to 3 DVDs per week... the postage alone had to kill their profits for those months.

I was reading that they throttle dvd shipments, too... it's funny.. users who request a lot of dvds (actually try to use the service) end up with huge wait times while if you only ask for 1/4 as many as you're allowed to, they come right away
