I think the secret Netflix hope is that you will watch a good portion of your movies online which will save them the shipping costs.
If you normally watch 12 discs a month by mail, but you switch to 9 by mail and 3 downloaded, they just saved 25% on shipping. It's also fewer discs they have to keep in their inventory.
