I use it on PS3 and as long as you have a good connection your movies will come in very well. Though they don't look as good as they would on the disc.

No noticeable difference between HD 720p streaming and 720p disc content.  And all the content even non-HD looks better than DVD quality. 

Oh and netflix will be getting 1080p w 5.1 surround soon too!

I only have 2.2 MPS download reliably and I get at least a DVD quality stream. It's excellent. I pay just under $20 a month, but I have 3 discs at-a-time unlimited plan.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

So a buddy of mine recently bought an xbox 360. He (like myself) is waiting for BF:Bad company 2 but is curious about netflix. Ive never really looked into it but he was wondering about the price. We know its free for the first moth and 10 dollars starting price but whats the normal price? Another thing is how well does it work? Ive read a few things saying it was ok while other said it was slow at buffering.

 

Anyone one here who has netflix care to comment?

It's $8.99 every month. (Unlimited Movie Streaming + 1 DvD a Month) for up to 10 Xbox360's in one home, and they can be watched on diffrent systems and PC, PS3, at the same time. So if people arein a diffrent room and want to watch a diffrent movie they can.

It works great, HD is great as well.

It depends on your connection, if your connection is real slow, expect buffing to be slow, I never had a problem with buffering, you see your scenes as you rewind or fast forward.

Netflix is awesome and it is $8.99 per month for unlimited streaming and 1 DVD at a time. This means that at any given time you can have 1 DVD at your home. DVD delivery is awesome. I drop off a Netflix DVD envelope at my office in the morning and get an email that night that the DVD has been returned and my next DVD is on the way. Drop off DVD on Monday and next DVD is at home on Wednesday (someimes Tuesday). All done through the US Postal Service.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I have to disagree on them being equal. When i watch streaming i notice things that aren't on the disk version.

Honestly, I watch more Netflix Streaming movies now than I play games. I think its a wonderful feature and its well worth the small fee you pay.

I have been watching the new Spartacus blood and sand series from Showtime. Its excellent! Bloody, violent, with a lot of sex. Who could ask for more? :P
