about to settle down for a movie; going to either pick shrink, or california split so thanks.
Besides King Of Kong, Street Fight is my favorite documentary on NF. It's about the 2002 Newark Mayoral race, pretty awesome stuff, like a real life version of the Carcetti - Royce campaign on the wire.
Also I just watched Worlds Greatest Dad - Robin Williams black indie comedy..(paid 12.99 in the hotel fml) kinda interesting, especially the first half, next half I wanted it to end.
There's an amazing Korean flick called "Old Boy" that is available instantly. If you like any sort of mystery/revenge stories or even just well-made movies in general I would highly recommend it.
Also a pretty amazing fight sequence in the middle...
Netflix and Warner Bros. have come to a deal regarding the streaming of Warner's movies. Netflix has agreed not to release the movie untill 28 days after the DVD release date in exchange for being able to stream the movies after the 28 days is up

Sorry if this was posted already, I just heard about it
I like this deal. Sucks for all the "gotta have it upon release" renters, but I don't really care when I see a movie and care more how I can see a movie. I wouldn't mind if every studio struck this deal as long as it meant free streaming of all movies after 28 days. Plus, the studios would probably love a 28 day "for sale only" period. It should only be beneficial to them if they can strike these deals with all the big rental companies.

The issue is I don't think many people are "gotta have it upon release" renters. The entire Netflix system changes the way you rent movies. When there were brick and mortar stores, it was "ok, I want to watch this tonight." The Netflix mentality is "ok, here is a huge list of movies I want to watch at some point. When they get here, they get here."
not really impressed by the selection in the netflix instant movies although they are adding a bit more.
I'm a big fan of the old Columbo TV shows though and they have a majority of those on there now so watching a classic Columbo episode while grinding it out on the poker-tables ain't such a bad thing.
If watch instantly doesnt work on LINUX then how in the hell does it work on the Linux based Roku? Netflix uses a Silverlight based player which Linux will never have.
Watch instantly really is the nuts. The player doesnt eat up a lot of resources on a PC and they have/had some great stuff on there but my queue has a lot of stuff in there that is now "Saved" which means it isnt avaliable any more to watch instantly. Sucks that the library is always rotating instead of growing
I just got a Roku and it is great. If any of you have preschoolers, mine absolutely love Pingu, and at about 5 minutes per short are perfect length. I also look forward to MLB.TV, which Roku supports.
Out of curiosity, how is this thing pronounced? Is it Rock-you, Row-coo, or something else?
i've had zero problems watching hd movies with the xbox. even non-hd titles look great. anyone have an xbox and roku player? i would think the xbox would have the superior picture.
also... why is a tech website having trouble with all the players? srsly ******ed imo
Im streaming Netflix on 3 TV's. I have an LG Blu Ray Player, a Roku player, and an Xbox 360. I don't notice a difference in any of them as far as quality or quickness goes. I haven't had any connection issues either.
A buddy of mine who uses his PS3 to stream seems to have slightly higher quality than I do, but his internet speed is better than mine.
For people just looking for some skin, I watched an episode of Satisfaction, which is a TV series from Australia about high end hookers with sexy Aussie accents. Would spank to again.
