| I am, I love it. I don't take full advantage of it though, I don't watch a lot of DVD's lately. But I get quick turnaround and rarely get defective or damaged ones. Haven't compared it to anything else really. |

| I use it to full advantage, watching 3 DVDs a week. They have a very diverse selection and since I pay to have 3 DVDs out at a time, I can experiment without saying "Well that was a waste of $".Jim |

| I use it for Blu-ray rentals. I had the 3 at a time subscription, but I recently downgraded to 2 at a time.I usually watch three a week: I watch two on the weekend, send them back on Monday, get two back on Wednesday, watch one on Wednesday, send it back on Thursday, get another back on Saturday, and so on. It's a good deal to get 12 rentals a month delivered to my door for $15.89.I haven’t been using the watch instantly feature because I don't like to watch on my computer. I’ve heard that there may be a NetFlix client for the Sony PS3 available soon, so I might start using that to watch streaming movies.CODO ERGO SUM |

| +1 for Netflix on the XboxI recently set it up and totaly love it. The only thing I don't like is there are no subtitles which I need for my girlfriend who's not a native english speaker.The website to "find" things to add to the queue needs some work, but that will come in time I think.Disclaimer, I work for Microsoft, so I am a little biased here.<Yoda>Use the Search page you must.

| Looks like you can use this software to play Netflix on your TV via a Sony PlayStaion 3:http://www.themediamall.com/playonThe disadvantage is that it plays through your PC and will cost $30 once it is out of beta, but the advantage is that it can be used to view content from sites including Hulu, CBS, YouTube, ESPN and others also.The software is installed only on your PC, so it becomes kind of a generic media server. It can also be used with XBOX.CODO ERGO SUM |
