Pretty annoying to hear all the aus boys whinge about not having good stuff like it's a badge of honor. If you want something like Netflix then get off your lazy arses and make one.

This doesnt even make sense. I didnt say i wanted nextflix or even need it. My point was whenever americans have something great its still not good enough. Nice try though

The point is, and I stated this in my post, there will be a price limit that will be reached. It's irrelevant if Microsoft can "STILL" afford it, it does not mean that they will be WILLING to afford it. Microsoft makes billions of dollars a year and they don't make that money by making poor decisions. Those movie houses will surely find the limit of what Microsoft is WILLING to pay.
But you are correct on one point and that is that the movie houses will sell the rights to distribute or they won't. I'll say it again, remember Starz?
Their contract with Netflix was up and they wanted an astronomical amount of money to renew the deal. Netflix said no, and they parted ways. Starz made the decision that no deal (or zero profit) was better than what Netflix was offering. (some profit) Evidentally this is because Starz feels that they can make more money by not letting Netflix distribute their movies.
This is the mind set of the movie houses. They hold all the cards and they are out to get all they can. They will do the very same to Microsoft as they do to Netflix.
Here is a quote from Universal Home Video president Craig Kornblau to help illustrate the mind set of the movie houses:
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/movie-execs-consider-extending-28-day-release-window.html
I hope you're right though, if Microsoft does acquire Netflix, I hope that they do somehow improve the content without having to pass to many of the costs along to the subscriber. Maybe they will bear the burden, and the burden will be great.

Yes, I get it. But it's all speculation.

One FACT is that Microsoft has more cash than Netflix.

Your original post doesn't make any sense as to why it's even in this thread.

We have a service here that a lot of us enjoy. We hope that it stays a service that we enjoy. You evidentally are unable to see that and just chalk it up to people whinging. I guess we should all just settle for what we have and be happy we even have it according to you.
In your eyes we should no longer endeavour to improve or maintain the things we enjoy. Is this the Austrailian way?

Oh absolutely!

Hopefully if it happens, they can work some magic and bring us more content for a reasonable price. I think we can both agree on that.
