Yeah, their options are anemic, but its a bit of a chicken/egg situation. Most people are not going to watch movies at home on their computer. If it came to the Xbox I'm willing to bet the number of titles would increase significantly. ]]>Apr 25th 2008 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/
As is, its working well, there seem to be a lot of the smaller, independent movies available, which is fine.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/
Either way.... I just connect my Sony Vaio next to the flat screen and watch it on that... same with Hulu.com....]]>Apr 22nd 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/
I suspect it's the consoles. The PS3 and the 360 are almost givens (PS3 primarily, I think, since MS has their Marketplace), though I guess they could set up a 480i/480p for the Wii since the BBC is doing a stream for it.

But TiVo? I think TiVo gave up on Netflix when Amazon came along.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/I agree tho... 360 + all you can eat movie titles = :)]]>Apr 22nd 2008 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/
The good news is that I bet Netflix's selection will grow quickly once the set top box is available.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/
I've been a Netflix member for five years. In the first four years I have received one badly scratched unplayable dvd and one broken disc. In the last year, I've received four wildly scratched, unplayable discs and one cracked disc.

They have serious quality issues with their stock.

Add to that steaming pile of resentment is the fact that they *still* haven't even bothered to make any effort to release any kind of "Instant Watch" option for their non-Windows customers. If they're going to block this service for Mac and Linux users, they should be fair and discount rates for people who can't use this option. Heck, I can use Comcast's On-Demand easier!

Not to mention, what ever happened to the big fight between Netflix and the USPS in regard to their bulk mailer sizes?]]>Apr 22nd 2008 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/]]>Apr 22nd 2008 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 23rd 2008 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/Apr 22nd 2008 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/
the quality and provide 5.1 and also add more movies to watch now..]]>Apr 22nd 2008 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/
they would own the rental space everyone with a console will have an option

of subscription or simply stream to your console with that subscription.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/netflix-has-three-additional-partners-launching-hardware-this/
I understand that they've changed the frequent user practices significantly in the past few years, and the local mailing centers make turnaround significantly faster as well.

If I could download HD content directly to my TiVo HD from netflix, I'd almost instantly sign up again. As it is, I rarely get things from Amazon Unbox. I don't have an HD disk player, so the only HD I get is from my TiVo.

It's still easier to walk the two blocks and pay $5 to BlockBuster. The browsing experience of live is still hard to beat.
