Rareflix.com's rental subscription service bites the dust

Rareflix is a Netflix wanna-be that won't be.

"RAREFLIX IS NO LONGER OFFERING RENTAL SUBSCRIPTIONS NOR RENTAL ORDERS. ALL OUTSTANDING RENTAL ORDERS WILL BE SHIPPED AND ALL RENTAL SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL END AS OF JULY 31ST."

Perhaps part of the problem is that I've never heard of them?

Updated 8/15/05: added "rental subscription service" to post title.

    I heard that their subscriber is very disappointed.

    I really wasn't sure what Rareflix was but anyone who watches anime has seen their logo. I'm fairly certain the Rareflix logo appears on anime put out by Media Blasters studio (i.e Rurouni Kenshin) and possibly others as well. I figured they sold anime. I didn't know they rented too. It appears they will continue to sell DVDs and merchandise.

    Update: Rareflix still exists although their online rental service has come to an end. Your title is misleading.
