I have had it before - but only when it first started with the DVD's. I decided to give it another go, to stream movies directly to my TV and also signed up to recieve unlimited Blu-Rays in the mail. I just hooked up the live streaming last night and prefer streaming the HD movies, so the selction is more limited than what you can get in the mail. As far as I can tell the picture quality is very good as well as the sound quality. I have a pretty kick-a** home theater so I prefer to utilize the full potential of it as much as possible. I will have a better idea as time goes on and I don't want to jump to conclusions, but my first impression is pretty good.

Didn't you make a thread with the exact same wording in the computers forum?

Its a love hate relationship with me and Netflix. I love that I can stream movies all the time but there is wayyyy to much crap on there. Maybe one or 2 good movies are put on there every mouth Or so...not worth paying for if you ask me

I had Netflix and then cancelled it because 1) They take FOREVER getting new movie releases. 2) That crazy rate plan & price hike business a little while ago.

But I went back because I missed all the TV shows and anime they gave me access to. Since then, I have discovered Vudu HD on my PS3, which now takes care of my streaming new movie release needs for $2 per movie for two days. Better than Redbox.

Now I don't have to pirate anymore. Yay!

Free streaming from Amazon if you have a Prime account. The selection is limited so think of it more as "bonus" streaming rather than something you intentionally pay for.

I have so many damn Netflix-enabled devices it's ridiculous. The room I'm in now contains...5. The room down the hall...4. And I'll have another one when I pick up a 3DS (price drop makes me glad I waited and didn't buy at launch).

My G2 actually manages decent battery life while streaming Netflix. I needed to recalibrate my battery (requires a full discharge) and used Netflix to accelerate battery discharge. It made it through Fellowship of the Ring TWICE. That's six hours of full-volume audio, streaming 4G data, and nonstop backlit display. Impressive.
