Looking around Amazon it seems there's far more to buy to be able to watch in the cloud than they've got as part of their Netflix like Prime streaming service, makes you wonder if Netflix have ever considered getting into offering TV shows/movies to buy (so called own) as well, being able to buy a series or a film from Netflix could safeguard against it being taken down and you could always have the ability to watch it, but if they did launch this alongside the streaming service people might accuse them of taking series down to compel people to buy them, but on Amazon it seems more accepted.

Would you like to see a Netflix where you can also buy series/TV shows, it might not be the best idea for them but I wonder if they've ever considered it.

No no no, things are perfect the way they are, even if movies take longer to come

I guess there is the problem of some movies & TV shows disappearing, and it would be good if they were more permanently in the cloud, I just naturally wondered if Netflix had ever considered it because it must have crossed their minds.

I would like a 'download and keep for 30 days' option though for when on the train and the free onboard wifi that runs at 0.00000000000000003mpbs isn't fast enough to load anything let alone stream video.
