The amount of streaming time you get is directly linked to your existing DVD subscription package, so there’ll be no extra cost to current customers. You’ll be able to sample movies, and hit “stop” if you don’t like what you see in the first few minutes, thereby not wasting any more of your streaming time on Michael Bay’s latest (for example).
