i tried netflix this week. it\'s good and all but i was pretty disappointed with the movies that are available to stream on the 360. I was under the impression that it was all movies, but the ones available to stream are 90% movies i\'d never even think about watching. All i\'ve watched through streaming are movies like super high me, zack galifinakis, young frankentein, and roger rabbit...yea.

Plus you have to be logged onto netflix on your computer, so all the streaming really is is letting you watch it on a big tv..not that important seeing as the picture quality takes a hit, and i could just watch it on my pc monitor

the ease and service of actually renting the hard copies of movies is more anticing to pay for netflix than this whole streaming to the console idea.

The disc service is definitely better, but Netflix is one of those at the forefront of what will probably become a big deal, so consider this stage 1.

I am also crossing my fingers for this.  I spend too much time watching streaming netflix movies at my computer desk.  This would make my day.

quick question for netflix people

if i have bond on #1 in my que, but it says short wait, does that mean ill get a different movie until that\'s available or that ill wait longer with no movie to get bond?

also..i only have till like thursday for the free trial so should i have michael clayton ahead of burn after reading or switch that? might only get to one of them

If you have another movie underneath bond that is available they will just send you that instead.

so if i always have something underneath bond i could end up never getting bond until a long while when all the copies stop getting rented immediately?

No, you\'re placed in line for Bond no matter how many movies you have beneath it.  Once it\'s your turn and they have a free copy it will be listed as no wait and you can cop dat $#!+

Also, if you\'re a new member you ALWAYS get priority over older members for new releases.  They want to make a good impression on you so you\'ll get first dibs

I thought Burn After Reading and Michael Clayton were both great films.  The first is somewhat more comical, and the second was more dramatic.
Apples and Oranges, it\'s hard to compare.
