The last paragraph of this is why they need each other and will have to work out a deal. - David Sep 3, 12:52 3
- Amazon already has the tier-pricing abilities available unless you ignore Amazon Prime's free for all, so it might be a good match. -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 12:58 2
  - It all depends on whether Amazon wants to come out and play. Starz is openly begging them to get involved. -- nm - David Sep 3, 13:00 1
    - The upcoming Amazon tablet, er, New Kindle might help things along too. -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 13:29
Also, it's not just Starz stuff that will disappear. Apparently also some movies from Walt Disney Pictures and Sony Pictures -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 12:42 4
- That's the real Starz stuff. Netflix isn't offering $300M for their original shows. - TFox Sep 3, 12:47 3
  - Someday, I'd like to find out whether Starz had a master strategy in play or simply lucked out to an epic degree. - David Sep 3, 12:55 1
    - Well, see, it all started when I decided instead of ending the name with an 's,' I would end with a 'z.' It's cooler. -- nm - Chris Albrecht, CEO Sep 3, 13:00
  - Right. I was kind of drawing out the distinction that they were offering 300 million for whatever Starz essentially plays on their channel. -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 12:51
