The mighty NETFLIX thread

Postby Bob on Thu Jan 12, 2012 7:02 pm

Just seen the advert.

As we don't have a DVD rental place.. this could be right up my street.

Can some one fill me in on the details..

£6 a month? Works on the 360 without any extra cost?

Let's talk about it.

Film choice looks crap (at least in Ireland), appearing after they've been on sky movies. Also telly programmes seem older serieses.
If in doubt, put the kettle on.

The people in the US love it, maybe they get a better version or their standards are lower. I dunno.

Good if you like TV series, not so good if you wanna see any recent films.

I'm looking for a new rental service as I am getting fed up Lovefilm and Boomerang. I don't think Netflix is what I want. Blockbuster online seem to have the best deal for combined film and video game rentals.

The selection could definitely be better but I'm hoping it'll get better. I'm only using my trial at the moment but I'm not renewing it unless the selection gets better and even then it'll depend on my internet at the time. If you do get you can use it on as many devices as you want without paying anything extra.

It seems like a really good service though. It's really easy to use and the recommendations seems pretty accurate.

My main gripe is the video quality. It's piss poor.

I read somewhere that Live only streams 720 on the new dash, so you can't get "proper" HD.
If in doubt, put the kettle on.

You've just reminded me I've only got to episode four of the latest series. Me knows what I'm watching later now :)

Yeah I guess you're right actually, aha. Still not sure if it knocks The Sopranos off the top spot for me though.
