Netflix has ended sales of previously viewed DVDs from their website. If you're a Netflix customer and you were loving buying used DVDs from Netflix, you have until November 30th to scoop up all the $5.99 DVDs you can. Don't worry about Netflix simply trashing all the DVDs, however, as they'll get resold in bulk to wholesalers who will then resell them, rather than simply being sent to a landfill.
