Blockbuster has an online rental plan as low as $5.99/month, and Netflix's cheapest plan is at $4.99/month. Approximately 60% of Americans subscribe to cable, where even the basic plan is more expensive than Netflix, and many subscribe to premier offerings that can easily exceed $100/month. And YouTube, of course, is free.</p> Anonymite: I’m sure cost is an issue for some but not most.
