This is the push I needed to get a Netflix subscription. I'll probably start on this week. I've been using the NXE since the weekend, and it's pretty cool.

All they need to add now is a web browser and flash capability, and nobody will need cable!

So true. Prag and I will be ditching cable TV post-Christmas due to expected Netflix gift certificates. I'm pretty psyched.

So, let me get this straight, with ANY netflix subscription I can stream anything I damn well please?

Why am I not doing this now?

As a note, it appears no, you'll only be able to get stuff from the Instant-queue

Well, yes, it has to be something that they've made available for streaming.

and I think you must have at least the $12 subscription plan to get it.

That seems a little borked considering unlimited downloads to PC is available on the $8.99 plan

That's why I said 'I think'. I have the 3-at-a-time plan myself, but I know that you don't get the streaming stuff at the lower subscription levels.

Sorry CB, I only said that because I heard something similar myself and was concerned as to why it would required a higher tier membership than the PC version.

Should work on any plan that allows streaming, and only with movies that are provided for instant viewing. They'll continue to add things, so just give that portion some time. Hopefully this'll be the jumpstart they need to get it going stronger.

LOL, I love how Sony has blocked all Columbia Pictures titles from being viewed on the 360. That's rather petty.

They are just pissed because people have yet work warm up to the idea of paying $30 for a damn BR disc or their left nut for a player.

Sony is pure fail as far as I'm concerned. :mad2:
