Have used a similar service here but I always forget to send things back/take ages to watch them so it becomes pointless.

Had Netflix for awhile. Loved it. Made me lots of $$$ selling copied movies. Switched to Blockbuster Online so I could also get in store rentals along with 1 free game rental each month. They then dropped the free game rental, upped the monthly price and cut my plan down as well. I dropped Blockbuster and then tried Netflix again because they started the 360 streaming shit. My connection was too slow and it took like 10 minutes for it to start and the picture was extremely grainy. I canceled my trial.

It's your internet service provider then, because mine is DVD quality.

Not to mention my biggest gripe, some series are only partially available on instant. I queued up Roar a while back, because it was recommending me Heath Ledger stuff and I was curious. Then I saw it was available for Instant, so I signed up. And then like half the episodes are "on disc only." Okay, so not so bad, since I was only casually interested. Then I watch the first 12 eps of "Dead Like Me" and find out the last two eps of season 1 are disc only. But there's still a ton of stuff to watch on there. And for the quality issues, D-Mac's right as far as I can tell. Even when it's pulling the "your connection's slowed" on me, I'm getting DVD quality. I'm watching the Office (US version) in HD right now, and the picture's significantly better than broadcast HD. It's not QUITE BD quality, but it's still solid. |

Ah thought you had access to everything in the library, not that it matters licencsing issues make it unlikely to be seen at all here.

Trying out this PlayOn Media Server that can stream Netflix to the PS3. Haven't had any problems with buffering or freezing, but the program costs 40 bucks.

Ended up putting my netflix on hold for time being. Feel like all I do is watch tv these days. Seeing as I have my regular shows, I download stuff, and had 3 netflix dvds coming all the time it was brutal. Half the time it seeme dlike I was forcing myself to watch the things I rent. Dunno, we'll see how it goes, it's only on hold.

Netflix has a $7.99 instant watch only plan now. Will be switching to this, since I have the Blu Ray plan and it's going up another buck, and they have that 30 day waiting on new Blu Rays bullshit. I just download Blu Ray rips to my PS3 now anyway with the occasional buy.

I use mainly streaming but I like knowing the disc option is there. Usually the discs sit there for weeks untouched, but when I want to go through a TV series or see a movie that isn't on the streaming service it's nice to have.

It's a rumor, but I read somewhere that they might be phasing out the DVD by mail alltogether and just be a streaming service.

That has been a rumor for a long time now. I think eventually they will go full streaming but not anytime soon

They'll go 100% streaming when they can get the vast majority of their catalog on it, which they aren't even close to yet.

I don't mind the concept, but if they do this, they need to have a bigger library and stop with the bullshit of pulling series. I assume it has to do with licensing, but if they insist on going digital, they need to make the content available. If they had a larger selection, I probably would never use the DVD service anyway. |

Got a free week trial of Hulu Plus and it sucks. Basically the same shows that are on Netflix and they STILL have commercials in them.

I prefer getting the DVDs in the mail to streaming the movie right away. It makes me feel like I've earned it.

the live 2001 with the guy from lost and the guy that does Joe swansons voice on family guy. It has the full first (and i think only) season. I never knew there was a live action I only knew of the cartoon so im pretty stoked to watch the season.

Okay Netflix is the Shit
I always thought it was dumb as hell to pay for access to tv shows/ movies when they could be had from sites like hulu or torrent sites, but after getting blazed and being able to watch Season 1 of 30 Rock essentially on demand in HD, I'm a fan of the service.
Do you guys use Netflix often? Think it will be worth it in the long run? |

Netflix instant stream is awesome. I have it both on my Samsung blu ray player and my PS3.
Watched every episode of "My Name Is Earl." Working on "That 70's Show" now. I love it. |

Absolutely love it. It's on demand content done right. I've seriously not watched anything except RAW on TV for the past two weeks. Everything else has been Netflix.
Kind of expecting the price to go up, but not for a while. I also hope that the companies keep embracing it and don't force "tiers" onto Netflix or something, or just entirely take their libraries down from it because they see it as a threat. Though I don't see that being a huge problem for me, as the vast majority of what I watch is at least 5 years old, and by that time (5 years after it's aired/released, at least) the content is pretty much past its time of real revenue streams outside of DVD releases. The one downside is that I'm paranoid that I'm going to cause a RROD to my 360 because it's on like 500% more than it had been in months (I tend to get into something on Netflix in cycles). |

If they raise the price they should add video games.
