My local video store went out of business last year. Says it all really.

Even this morning on the drive into work, the DJ on the radio was joking about how his missus wanted him him to goto the local video store, "Bugger that, I don't need the excerise, what's on Sky Anytime?"

No chance, not now.

There is some talk of Yahoo (of all people) buying Netflix, but for now its just talk.
Why would Yahoo! buy Neflex, they do have much in common, Amazon on the other hand owns lovefilm, but the opeats only in the UK and the nodic regions, buying Netflex would create a worldwide media streaming company!
