This. I was really amazed how quickly I got pulled into it from the miniseries.

The latest as well? Last time I checked they didn't have the season with the naggers episode. They're all available on an official site though.

Unfortunately I have to actually rent the South Park DVDs. Trey and Matt do mini commentaries at the beginning of each episode for a few minutes, and I love listening to them.

I don't know about netflix, but you can watch just about every South Park episode there is on Southparkstudios.com

You can watch the latest one and all of the old ones. After the next episode comes out, the previous one is unavailable for a couple of weeks, but after that time they put it back up.

aorn I think all but 1 episode are available.

and I know I've seen the naggers episode on there a couple of times.

You are not able to browse movies that aren't in your watch instantly queue but that isn't that big of a deal since it; easy to add them. The wait times are very fast with no hiccups in playback that I've experienced.
Wow, you need a disc to access your instant queue on the PS3? Glad I have a 360.

just bumping to say that a bunch of Kurosawa movies have been added to watch instantly and Au revoir les enfants (Goodbye, Children ) by Malle is also a really, really good movie on watch instantly.

Jericho is no longer avaliable instantly. I watched Season 1 Episode 9 last night. Today, it's gone but can still be rented.

Yeah, watching Jericho really pissed me off with Netflix instant.

Some episodes on my PS3 were randomly silent and I had to watch on my laptop, and now they're no longer available. This sucks cause I have shows I'm watching on disc with my girlfriend, but was watching Jericho on instant when she wasn't around.

Sigh.

I watched California Split last night for the first time on the ps3. Disappointing that I can't watch Sopranos instantly though.
