I don't see why that's unreasonable -- they've had instant viewing for quite some time now, but the online collection has been woefully lacking for an equally long amount of time. It's very reasonable not to be satisfied with the 2 day turnaround time on good stuff, when thousands of B-movies are available instantly.
If they hadn't introduced all 7 seasons of TNG, I would have quit too.
Thanks for the heads-up, I didn't know that.
I am in the process of cutting the cable, for which purpose I put together an htpc using xbmc on top of xubuntu to watch hulu, Amazon instant videos, and files ripped from my collection of DVDs. I was originally planning to supplement this with netflix on my Wii, but actually dropped the idea: most of my favorite sci-fi shows are free with Amazon Prime (which I already have anyway), and in the long run it's cheaper to buy seasons of my daughter's children's shows (Dora, Backyardigans, etc.) from Amazon rather than pay for Netflix indefinitely. Also, I can watch the Amazon shows on my htpc so I don't have to switch to the Wii to play one of my daughter's shows.
We don't watch cable TV either. I've a big plasma TV in the living, with a PS3 and a PC attached to it. We do Netflix on the PS3 (streaming and discs), but so far the PC has only been used for games, some browsing, and the occasional Jon Stewart show.
But all that may change at some point. Thanks for the heads-up.
