WE got it. They used their debit card for it. To say well the don't have a huge selection compared to their DVD shipping. They don't even have Harry Potter series uploaded for streaming :(......I rate their online selection an 7/10 average.


If you watch a lot of movies, it's going to be all about the DVD service... their streaming's strong point really is their series'. I've watched so many on their with so many more queued. Considering what seasons cost on DVD/BluRay, it's a huge value.

For TV I use Playon, you should try it.

That seems like it'd be a lot more convenient than bringing out my laptop when I wanna watch hulu on my TV... I'll give it a try, thanks!

^Oh yeah, Netflix has super fast shipping. if you have a disc and you mail it on Monday, you will get the next DVD in your que on Wednesday.


I love that about Netflix.I find that cable is useless to me now that I have Netflix.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Unfortunately it is not free. However, there is a 2 week free trail and afterwards if you decide to you can buy it. 

This is a great option to watch South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, Music videos, Nick ,Hulu.com,...etc

All in your comfort of your PS3, Xbox360, or Wii.

Just checked it out. Essentially you turn your regular PC into a streaming service so that your Wii/X360/PS3 can access videos via their internet browser.

It costs $80 one time fee, or $40 first year and $20 every future year. Your PC accesses various websites like Hulu, Netflix, CBS, Fox, PBS, and so on and forwards the videostreams to your other devices.

I have a HTPC which is way more convenient as I don't need to make sure that my regular PC is on and running PlayOn. Nor do I waste bandwidth bouncing video streams off of my main PC as I get them directly. A self built HTPC would cost you about $200 more than PlayOn, but I think is more convenient and does a lot more.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
