"I really don't understand why so many people hate Netflix. I understand being bummed when HD-DVD got dropped, but that wasn't Netlix's fault and was inevitable."
No, Netflix made a business decision to cut all spending on new HD DVD titles. They have lost me as a paying customer for over 5 months now. I have rented (on HD DVD) Beowulf, Michael Clayton, and Into the Wild. I had to buy and re-sell (for a small profit) the I Am Legend HD DVD. I bought the Atonement (non-Combo) HD DVD from Amazon.co.uk, which I still haven't watched {and could have gotten now with a (BOGO) "free" copy of the Juno Special Edition DVD for less from Columbia house now}. So Netflix lost me as a customer because they didn't buy 3 movies. Blockbuster lost me as a customer for a good part of that 5+ months, too, because they didn't buy 1-2 movies.
