Netflix--oh wait, I'm sorry, Qwikster

When Netflix changed the pricing structure, I wasn't annoyed. I understood that the business model is changing and they needed to separate the streaming part of their business.

Okay, well, now Netflix has managed to piss me off. You're going to make me go to two different websites to see if something is available on disc or instantly? Fuck you.

Does NetFlix have any advantage over Amazon Prime anymore? Without the DVDs (I'm cheap and always go for the lower tier pricing scheme - $15 for DVDs and streaming both triggers my "I don't watch it enough" limit), I'm seriously thinking of switching over, and getting myself the free delivery.

I use the DVD service heavily, so Netflix is still a lone competitor in the field. I'm just annoyed that the crossover benefits will disappear when they split the sites--like suggesting streaming movies based on a searched for DVD-only film, or having one page for a TV series that tells you both what is available on DVD and what is available streaming.

I've been told that Netflix still outdoes Amazon Prime's streaming selection by a wide margin.
