Wow, that's big.

sweet on the 360 news, hopefully they will get the selection to not suck as much

bump because I think this went HD and Noah thinks it's called Netflix "Watch it Now"

yo dogs, the selection for this **** is GARBAGE.

thanks for the update jeff

plz keep us posted on any future breaking developments

There's some good stuff. Complete seasons of 30 Rock man, so good.

i love it on xbl, so convenient but they do need a better selection

but for $8 i dont really care a whole lot to cancel it now

[I've posted this before somewhere; there must be another Netflix WI thread somewhere]

I think it's great if you treat it like it is: a pretty nice add-on. If you get netflix just for the watch instantly, I can see how you'd be disappointed. I pretty much just treat it like a DVR by going through the selection every now and then and adding everything I might be remotely interested in to the WI queue, and when we are need of something to watch just spin through it all from the XBOX.

Dexter is no longer available to watch instantly? I got real excited reading through this thread. Weeds season 1 & 2 are but 3 isn't hopefully its a matter of time for three. It's frustrating watching TV show DVDs when you only have a 1 disc plan. I always end up watching 5/6 episodes without realizing it. Then I watch the final episode on the disc the next day and have to wait a few days to get the next disc.

Engadget Netflix shootout between the Roku, TiVo, 360, and a couple Netflix-enabled Blu-Ray players.

I find my Roku simpler and more reliable than my TiVo S3. Different TVs, but I have no comparison PQ complaints.

I figured the "bump" would be because of this:
HBO Possibly Coming to Netflix

This is obviously in the early stages, but would be pretty awesome if you ask me, and probably worth another $9.99 a month. The only question I have that you can't really glean from the info that is out there is whether you would have access to HBO shows right after they aired, or if they would only become available after a series is released on DVD. If you get it after it airs, then there is no doubt I get it; just cancel HBO and you save the money. Since I am sure they have thought of that, I imagine the details (when and if they get around to actually doing this) would sour the idea somewhat.

Cool. I'd gladly pay $10/month to roll through older series if they're HD/widescreen (where appropriate). There was also a survey about PS3 Netflix-enabling, though, and MS went on to go exclusive. Still just surveys.

I'm up ~50% on NFLX stock, purchased it sometime last year. It's about the only one that's done well! Their last financial report made it sound like streaming is set to become a cash cow, and subscriptions in general are way up. Limited stats also showed that people who stream tend to take less by mail. I just hope that streaming doesn't supplant Blu-Ray to the extent that people are reticent to even release on the medium, because streamed stuff still doesn't compare - especially on audio.

Right now their database is still too limited for watch now. If you have some specific movie that you'd like to watch it is unlikely to be available. Has a lot of future potential obviously.

There has been a lot of new content added lately. A bunch of History Channel stuff is on there, which is fun to watch. My watch instantly queue is up to ~70. That includes some comedy specials, a bunch of movies, some History Channel, and several TV series.

I only use the 360 to stream, though - as my TV is HD and on occasion I actually get to watch it in HD (when TW doesn't suck).

I dont even mess with the instant crap, seems like 1% of what I want to watch is available instantly.
