I agree. I rarely pay even $3.99 to see a movie on Amazon, like once a year, but at least it makes sense. And since Netflix canceled its DVD mailing, which I think was $12/month, I could at least pay for 3 on Prime and no difference.
Exactly. I might pay to "rent" a movie via a streaming service 1-2 times per year, and then it's probably $2.99 or 3.99, and has to be something that either the missus or I REALLY want to watch. If I think I'm going to REALLY enjoy the movie enough to rent it, I'm more likely to buy a DVD/BD. If I/we rent, it's more likely due to it being a special occasion so we're "splurging".

Damn sure not going to pay the price of a DVD/BD to stream a movie one time.
