Ha! I was toying with the idea of posting a vanity re:netflix; we got a HD Sony on Black Friday, we should be getting our HD DVR from the cable company tomorrow, and our Blu-Ray is arriving by UPS today. This blu ray is the Sony model mentioned on the Netflix website as ready for downloads from their site (and other sites like Amazon that stream movies). I was wondering how the streaming was working out for other people. Based on your experience, we’ll probably sign up either this month or January . But if I am reading the Netflix website correctly , it sounds like with their plan, you have to get a DVD through the mail (1 or 2 out at a time) to be signed up for the streaming content. Also,when I was a member, I had 3 or 4 DVDs out at a time, and you could have 8 or 10 out, if you wanted to pay $50-60 for the privilege(I don’t)-do they still offer plans for more than 2 DVDs out?
Pretty sure they still offer the 3 out at a time deal. But I was going for the cheapest route, as it was my intention to merely check out what was available for ‘Instant Viewing’.
