And I'm sorry as I said you can't rent 6, 8 or 10 DVDs a month to someone for $2 and make a profit.

People talk about "lost" cusotmers" Netlix's PROJECTIONS of customers is what is lower. Netflix PROJECTED 25 million subscribers by the end of the 3rd quater. Now they are PROJECTING 24 million. Anyways here's the breakdown

24 million subscribers

12 million streaming and DVD - 50% of subscribers
9.8 million streaming only( down from 10 million ) - 41% of subscribers
2.2 million DVD only ( down form 3 million ) - 9% of subscribers

Losing those DVD only customers is actually a GOOD thing for Netflix. Oh by the way Qwikster will now rent video games which in my household would be welcome so we might actually add the DVD part to our subscription depending on pricing.

yeah real dumb moves by Netflix.
