i've been going back on forth on whether or not i wanna do this for MONTHS

well, i bought a copy of 'win 7 ultimate' a few days back. and it comes with a copy of 'windows media center' on it...



i've already paid for SageTV, but it can't hurt to try.

ANYWAYS



windows media center has a pretty cool NETFLIX plugin. i've been wanting to get this for ages, and now have an excuse.... but this strikes me hard as a scam for some reason.

(like that red box!!!1)

ps, it sounds like this will be cool. like pay per view but i get a copy too.

I use the Xbox 360 Netflix app. Netflix is worth it IMO for the streamed movies alone. The DVDs in the mail are like a bonus. I don't think I'll ever buy another DVD when I can just be paying $10 a month for Netflix.

netflix is A+++ for sure

they even do friendly gestures like taking off a buck or two for a month if they screw up delivery

the dollar value isn't high, but it does build confidence

I'm trialing the blockbuster service right now. They're keeping a steady stream of blue-rays coming without having to pay extra. However that streaming Netflix looks awesome. Free BluRay or Free streaming. Sad

so $10/month and you can watch ANY movie basically at any time? I'm on blockbuster plan and they are some greedy and pushy bastards with their product.

Not any movie. Certain movies have 'Instant Watch' and you can watch them anytime, anywhere. My mom has Netflix in eastern NC and I use it on my 360 (and laptop) here in Raleigh, and I think my sister uses it in Greenville.

I don't know how you can check the library of instant movies, but it changes pretty consistently.

^^Netflix has 100,000+ Titles period, and 17,000+ are Instant Watch

according to their website

you can find about anything to watch...might not get your first choice, but you can get something good. Watched Apocalyptico last time

I know Blockbuster has some exclusive movies though... but I'm not a big enoughy movie buff to really give a shit about that.. just throwing it out there in case someone reading this is.

I cycle 2 week trials under different names every couple of months, but I don't find myself using it enough to justify the 8 bucks a month sub. I was impressed with the changes they made to the 360 interface, but there aren't enough quality Instant Watch movies to lure me in. My media PC has enough content to keep me satisfied and I'll probably get one of those net top boxes soon.

I keep letting my http://www.epixhd.com/ invite codes expire, I've been meaning to compare.

PS: I can't help but think there's a million page thread in TT about this.

I just found about 8-10 episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on instant watch.

Totally awesome.
