Without a doubt, Blu-ray will look better. From what I've heard, the HD is in 720p. It looks really good. It's a really good value if you think of it. Unlimited streaming of thousands of movies(some in HD), 1 movie rental at a time by mail (including Blu-ray), all for $8.99 a month. Compare that to buying just one Blu-ray movie at $30. Just buy what you really like in Blu-ray after checking it out on Netflix. Netflix is an awesome value. Having a 360 is like a bonus to people who already have a Netflix account. I never liked Netflix or renting movies even. This just puts everything in a new perspective. Of course you can get stuff free on the internet, like divx and xvid videos and stream it to your 360. This just more convenient than going out of your way to find movies, legally or illegally, downloading them and then you can watch them. |
Ah, well if it is 720p that's pretty good for streaming. If I had a 360 I'd switch back to netflix for awhile to watch some free stuff.
My only problem with Netflic is they throttle your movies if you return too many too fast in one month. It used to be 14 a month and they all the sudden get lost in the mail (i used to get 3 at a time, so 14 a month didn't take long, espcially if you are trying to watch a season of a show). Then, as soon as the next month begins, the movies are suddenly found.
I don't know if they still do that, but that's why I switched to blockbuster. However, I canceled blockbuster when they raised their prices way too high if you wanted in-store returns, which was a great feature.
Anyway, Netflix was smart to get access to all of the free stuff that you could watch on cable TV but not that convientantly and in HD.
