My family just got a Bluray/DVD player that is wireless ready. We got Netflix on the player and have been watching a lot of movies and shows. I have a lot of B movies on the download part. There there is the DVD side that comes to you. Right now I a watching Cheezy Horror Trailers: Vol 1. There is some funny stuff on here. I have started to load up the insta queue with movies such as the Cheezy Horror Trailers, Hercules with Lou Fergno (possible miss-spell), lots of MST3K to name a few. I love it. Anyone else done this?
Love it love it love it.

Yup. I agree. What I like best about it is that you can feel free to explore and rent movies you might not ordinarily watch thanks to the relativley low cost and great selection.
Same here, I've got a wishlist a mile long on Amazon and it's great to be able to just rent or stream them and not have to waste money on the DVD before I know if they're good or not. If they are good, I usually buy them afterwards.
I got Netflix on the PS3 originally, and liked it so much we got a Roku box for the other TV. We like to watch a TV show, commercial free, while eating supper, so that works out fantastic. Been watching Starhunter 2300 every evening, a really good sci-fi show that I've never seen before. Right now I'm waiting for Creatures From The Abyss to arrive in the mail - that looks like a total cheesefest lol.
chekc out blobermouth
Thanks to Netflix streaming I got rid of cable. If there's a sports event on ESPN I want to see, I go to someone's house or to a bar.

What a concidence, the same time happened to me just yesturday. I haven't been really using it though since my dad and me been busy.
I love my Netflix subscription and only regret I didn't give them a chance earlier. I watch all my movies/shows on the computer though I'm hoping for a router for my birthday so I can watch it through our Wii.
Just got my hands on a PS3 and a Netflix trial. Best choice I've ever made. I can watch movies with the family on the HD TV via my PS3, I can watch things with friends downstairs with my Xbox 360, and if there's something I need to watch alone I can watch it on the Wii in my private office.
Yes I DO own all three of the modern consoles.
I still haven't tried Netflix yet. Maybe I'll give it a try. I used to buy probably 10 or more DVDs per month, but I've really slowed down lately. I'm trying to catch up on a lot of my TV series purchases and I have a long way to go. I'm about half way through Season 6 of THE OFFICE, and I'm at the beginning of Seasn 2 of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER. I still have many unwatched episodes of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., THE AVENGERS (Diana Rigg seasons only), COLUMBO, LAND OF THE GIANTS, THE TIME TUNNEL, THE TWILIGHT ZONE, ULTRA MAN, THE MONKEES, and THE OUTER LIMITS. It will probably take me a couple years to get through all of these. Maybe Netflix is a good option for when I need some "filler" movies to watch.
NetFlix is great. I've caught quite a few movies that I ordinarily wouldn't have gotten around to buying due to budget or time. I recently watched The Warriors and it was awesome.
What is this NetFlix of which you speak? Maybe they should advertize online more.

Any chance that Netflix will ever have any manufacture on demand releases in the future?

I doubt it, they won't even look at DVD-R's for rental copies. They very well may put such movies on instant streaming, though.
Sure they may have killed Brick and Mortar Video stores, but I <3 netflix... Especially since they started Instant streaming.
Because of NetFlix I just got done watching Subspecies and started to watch Subspecies II. AWESOME.

Yes it is. I got a free month sample thing forwared to me by a friend. Thus far the only thing I can complain about is that they didn't have one movie on my long list of movies I've been wanting to see available for website streaming.
Rather enjoyable, the only thing I miss is the whole brick and mortar moment when you wanted to get something but what you wanted was out. You had to pick something and sometimes (usually) crapy but every once in awhile a gem. Netflix kind of removes that as you can pick pretty much exactly what you want or something else you want with no trouble. It is great though as on my off days I go through about 5 movies. Yes, I was playing games alot I need to get some movie watching done. Plus, I haven't rented in a while as the rental stores have gone in the past 2 years.
Netflix does spoil the hell out of me. between the streaming (which has movies that might not be available on DVD like Sugar Hill) and still sending dvd in a timely manner its great. The price of it is not bad either.
The wife and I have about 50 DVD's and Blu-Ray's in our delivery queue. We've alternated between the movies and tv shows, and it's nice to get a disc in the mail and have no idea what it is because I don't really keep track of the order that much and it's like a mystery movie.
The draw back is that the instant stream mostly has crappy movies it's hard to find anything worth watching.

Well, since I posted what is quoted above there have been 30 movies I've wanted to watch via instant stream but have been unable to. But I did see other good stuff like Troll 2, several MST3K episodes (I just discovered the show 2 years ago long after it was off the air), A Clockwork Orange, and The Omen. It kind of evens out in that way, nevertheless I am a bit disappointed by it though.

Yeah, my biggest complaint is the horror movies that they have available for streaming are slanted heavily towards straight-to-video from the 2000's, and I have found very very few of these that are even entertaining.

You are disappointed because you couldn't see all 30 of these movies for free????? Ok. LOL.
My advice is to pay for it for 1 month. You have essentially 30 days to get any random movies you want, sent to you for like $9.00 or so.
I find it disappointing. Since I like to watch obscure flicks they have almost nothing for me that's available.
since it costs 13 dollars to go to the movies, the 8 it costs for a month of streaming is f'n A OK by me. Plus I love the categories that Netflix generates after it starts to get a feel for what kind of movies you like.

Yes, after rating and showing interests it does start to get a better feel for what you would like and most have been pretty spot on suggestions for me.
