Wal-Mart, Hulu, Netflix, Time Warner, Comcast... they all want the exclusive rights and it's going to be a battle. The studios are going to hold out and wait for the highest bid. Why wouldn't they?
Thats because there's a market for streaming services, it's what consumers want, people hardly use DVD players, and less and less every day. For the industry to hold on to that idea is just ridiculous. Trying to still cater to people who go by a DVD at Target thats not where things are still headed.
