I have it but my account has been on hold for a few months. Heard a rumor that it will be obsolete in 5 years or so, because all movies will be downloadable in HD through your cable/satellite company. Who knows.

Ummm...this is why Netflix lets you watch those things online, and is working with AT&T (I think it was AT&T) to build a set-top box for your TV to watch Netflix. They're basically leading the way with online movie rentals. The deal Blockbuster had with Enron a few years ago was a bust, but Netflix has a proven model for watching movies online. If you have a new enough TV, you can hook a PC up to it via a monitor cable or HDMI cable, and stream your shows onto there. I do it all the time.
Anyway, if you couldn't guess, I use Netflix too and think it's great, especially since we can't go to the movies with a baby around.
Yes... what I heard was something like in 5 years netflix or a system like it will be available in HD, right from your tv account, you won't need a computer just the cable or satellite or netflix box without having to deal with physical DVD's or computers. Right now I still use the physical DVD's, they are pretty reliable. Sometimes you get a bad one and they are good at replacement.

You're sounding like a sattelite repairman trying to fix boken cables you never should have installed in the first place! Nobody here trusts you because you sleep with your Dr. Vic Teddy Bear!
The best you can do is hook up with one of those Russian Babes and hope she can play tennis.
PS Send me some flowers, I'm not feeling so good. I'll send you some hot pix of...you know who!
I got the 8.99 a month deal, one dvd at a time, no limit. Works for me. My biggest gripe is that I'm a HUGE fan of made for tv movies and those are almost impossible to find on VHS or DVD. Also when I was waiting forever for "The Mist" to come out, I put it in my "que" and couldn't figure out why there was a "very long wait" for it. I finally went to my local blockbuster and rented it, it's a blockbuster exclusive I found out. But so far it works for me. Some of the sound quality could be better, but what the heck.

I've been getting Netflix since 2005. I think it's great.
