No, they don't really go far enough to be useful. Look at the netflix movies on their site, then look at the amazon prime movies... there's overlap. I've already seen Flight, but now I have to see it's box image every time I look at a list of movies for each streaming service.
What would be better is a list of movies across all services, I see Flight, then I click, "I've already seen it", then I never have to see it again.
Or, I see Flight (and want to watch it), click it, then I'm presented with links to watch on Netflix, free for Amazon Prime, $3.99 on Amazon Instant, 4.99 on Vudu, etc...
A recommendation engine would be gravy. What I want is a global view of media available that lets me say, "Queue this to watch", "I've seen this and stop showing it to me", "I have no interest in see this". Then the movies it's showing me are new to me.
Basically, the problem is finding a needle in a haystack. You could rummage through the haystack, or you could remove the hay, straw by straw and say "Is this a needle"?
