Again, I can only speak for how things work for Netflix Canada. It could be different in the US, or it could be the same but nobody realizes it because it's never enforced. We never had a combined service in Canada. The only DVD-by-mail service I've heard of up here is Zip.ca. I looked into them recently and discovered they also have a streaming service now, but I'm much more interested in the service of theirs that was impetus for that search, which was their "redbox"-like DVD/BluRay kiosk I just found at my local grocery store. I've often heard people speak online about these kiosks, but there weren't any near my current apartment until recently (either that, or I've just never known it was there since it's on the opposite side of the store from the self-serve checkout machines). $1 per movie is a wonderful price point for new releases, though between Christmas present movies and Netflix I haven't really been inclined to use it yet.
