Netflix's movie download.

So, one of my kids was sick this weekend, and just wanted to lay around. So, I signed up for netflixs, and tried out the movie download feature.

Wow. So easy, and the picture quality was amazing. I plugged my laptop into my projector in the basement, and hooked up the audio to my receiver. The picture quality rivaled DVD, and it is unlimited downloads... Although the selection is not that huge at the time. But, still, everytime I would get my netflix movies I'd end up not liking one and wishing I had another... Now, I can just download it while watching... Pretty cool and very easy. And with plans starting at $9. its a good deal.

I need to watch a new blockbuster and check that out, as I watched Dr. Doolittle from the 60's and it was in film aspect ratio and looked fine, but I want to try out something like the new batman, just to see.

This is the future of TV... commercial free, instant access.

They tremble at my name...

Have fun paying for content.

Good lord you have children?

You make the entire Republican party look like morons. Grats.

Making money doesn't equal smarts.

And your a lazy unemployed college student... (your words not mine) I was making over $50,000 a year in college, the first student to actually make money in my schools internship program, while taking 22 credit hours per semester to graduate in 4 years, debt free.

The republican party does a pretty good job of making itself look like morons without my help... (first "stimulus plan, and the Tarp bailout come to mind)

What did you do during school?

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

I just started a Netflix account.. I love it, at first I was just going to use the two week trial, watch some of my shows for free then remove it...but I indeed up keeping it, and will be for some time... no way am I giving up all these HD shows/movies I love to watch.

The Difference on a HDTV is unmistakable... going from regular 480i Tv to 720p is very nice..

You know what, 50K a year in college is pretty amazing, I'll give you that. If you were expecting me to get pissed, think again.

My college is free, I earned a scholarship by graduating with a 4.0. Not that I needed it, I saved enough from the time I started to the time I lost my job that I'm pretty much floating free and easy with a 40K vehicle, a girlfriend, and college.

People like you are arrogant, self-assured, and put a bad name to the elitist ideas that you push off on society. And that's from a conservative.

Also, Netflix is BS.

I tried their streaming movies for a while, never anything good, and I always end up letting my subscription sit until eventually I cancel and start renting from the local dvd store again.

This thread is amusing in a sad kind of way.

I'm having a hard time deciding what is worse . . .

. . . that a netflix thread turned into a series of political affiliation based personal attacks . . .

. . . or that someone started a name-calling contest and lost so badly that they both back-pedaled on their comments and tossed out additional insults in the same post (including resorting to disparaging Netflix) . . .

. . . oh, and congratulations FE; I think you've replaced Linus as the forumer most likely to get flamed/trolled by immature people who can't handle the fact that some people disagree with their basic belief system.
