I'd pay $30/mo for watch instant by itself if it had new releases in HD with 5.1. I'd probably even pay more than that. I'd ditch all my premium channels on comcast in a second. I'm sure it'll happen someday.
The problem is that the Watch Instantly feature is presented in too many different formats (HD, non-HD, 16:9, 4:3, etc...). They are the same issues people have with the transition to HDTV: it doesn't fill in the entire screen or the quality looks a bit blurry. Lastly, it needs to be user friendly even to those who still don't believe in the remote control. It's a great feature and I take full advantage of it, but Netflix needs to innovate a bit further in the presentation and accessibility of the Watch Instantly feature.
