      It too so long to "retrieve" because it retrieved the entire season of the TV show I selected. Going from one episode to another is seamless and instant.

      So in short, this is f'n awesome.

            I got my disc today and love it so far. Very impressed with the speed and selection. I'll be rewatching season 7 of the Shield soon.

              Watching Paul Blart right now... took maybe five seconds to load up.

              Service works great, this rocks

                Yea this worked well. Watched the last three episodes of 30 Rock: Season One and only had one interruption in the stream (it lasted maybe 4 seconds).

                Good quality, similar enough interface.

                  Wait, so the new releases arent avialable for streaming when they are available for rent? If so, why would that be exactly? I was thinking of doing this but if the new releases arent available day and date like the rent by mail portion of the website is then I dont see this making any difference for me personally.

                    Not all movies available for shipping are available for Instant Streaming. I'm sure it is a legal/agreement issue. However, there are plenty of titles that ARE available to justify the fact this is a free side perk to having the Netflix service. Plus there are tons of TV shows available to stream, which is what I mostly use it for. It's also nice to have while you're waiting for those next movies to arrive.

                      Yea, the streaming is an added bonus.

                      If Netflix allowed all movies to be streamed then people would technically work their way around a monthly fee and their plan (one, two, three discs at a time).

                      And like Dalewood said, there are tons of television episodes available via stream. It almost makes it unnecessary to ever rent a television series on DVD.

                        Cool I may be switching from 360 to PS3. The Show...I will finally get to play it.

                          I may sign up for netflix now. I have a 360, but it's a noisy piece of crap, I'd much rather use the PS3 to stream movies.

                            Hows the online streaming, I'm really thining about signing up for PS3. Also can you only stream older movies or do they have current dvd releases avail for online streaming.

                              If it's the same as streaming to your laptop/PC, then the answer is yes, they have some current movies (a tv show seasons) available.

                              The newer movies are things you could see on the STARZ movie chanel

                                There are older movie to stream, yes.
