Netflix to Offer Movie Downloads

kev0153 writes "Over at CNN Money they are reporting on a story about Netflix offering a video on demand over the web service in '05. They are also eyeing the multibillion-dollar video game market. "We're playing it a little defensively, because if we lose the digital download market, you'll soon be hearing about the rise and fall of Netflix," said Netflix CEO Reed Hastings."

    Renting video games might be a problem too, when people start "losing" the games. ... a game will probably cost them $30 or more.

    Nah. You will just have to sign a contract that states that lost games cost full retail price to replace. They'll make money on that too.
