Yeah, I'm sure there will even be some deals between XBL gold and netflix in the future.  I still have to subscribe but my problem is that I just want streaming.  I'm thinking about getting the subscription and letting my parents get physical copies while I just take the streaming stuff.

*Stop Making Sense (Amazing)
*loudQUIETloud - the Story of the Pixies (Amazing)
*Tommy

I just subscribed last night and I'm liking it, but the first movie I watched (Zero Effect, so good) was pan 'n scan.  :-\

Is it like that for most Instant Queue movies?

Post by: MrAngryFace on November 28, 2008, 12:42:05 PM
no there's hi def, and most say they are wide screen. I think for older movies its pan n scan?

i used to own the zero effect dvd, it was an early pan/scan dvd release, and as far as i know they never released a widescreen version

that's probably why it's pan/scan on netflix

What are the limitations like can you only watch 3 things a day or is it unlimited?

If you get the 8.99 package you get unlimited streaming, and 1 DVD out at a time

Yep. As usual. When (if) we get anything comparable, it'll just stream Corner Gas marathons to our 360's 24/7.

Well, I last tried two days ago and that was before I messed around with my router, because my computer was having a hard time connecting to anything.  I'll try it later tonight to see if it works.

I've been adding stuff to my instant queue for the last hour or so.  I've got more stuff I'm interested in then I'll ever get around to watching.
NXE is so great.

Post by: MyNameIsMethodis on November 29, 2008, 12:19:10 AM
Yeah this might actually make me subscribe to Netflix. I wish I had a wireless adapter so I could put my 360 in my living room and show my mom how awesome this is :(

Is there a list of what is available in HD?  The SD quality is like VCD for most stuff, so I'd rather stick to things in HD.  The only thing I found was Heroes.

We watched this last night on NXE -

(http://www.upcomingdiscs.com/covers/overnight2003dvd.jpg)

Total freudenschade porn.  It's hilarious seeing people like this fall on their fat ass.  If you've ever had the displeasure of watching The Boondock Saints, you owe it to yourself to watch this.
Title: Re: I'm using my Netflix subscription more than ever now!
Post by: MrAngryFace on November 30, 2008, 07:39:33 PM
Im watching the following the next few weeks:

Hercules TV
Inspector Gadget
Office Season 2
Carrier
Title: Re: I'm using my Netflix subscription more than ever now!
Post by: Madrun Badrun on November 30, 2008, 07:43:12 PM
Inspector Gadget, maf?  Really? 

I think MAF went to Netflix so that he could watch crap that he would otherwise be embarrassed to purchase.  Tweeny Witch next week right?
Title: Re: I'm using my Netflix subscription more than ever now!
Post by: Hitler Stole My Potato on November 30, 2008, 07:43:49 PM
Office Season 2

One of the best seasons of any television show.  Seriously.  

Too bad they couldn't keep it up.  Ever since the end of the second season The Office has kind of gone downhill, imo.

I sincerely hate the jim pam stuff. Its the Ross Rachel, the niles Daphney, its all that shit I hate about NBC sitcoms. What makes it worse is that some of the moments are fucking painful to watch.

No, it's really a comment about Inspector Gadget.

the same could be said of the poncho you wear

I think it comes from walmart.  I doubt if it ever had value.

We do it because Inspector Gadget sucks and ponchos are warm and becoming. 
Title: Re: I'm using my Netflix subscription more than ever now!
Post by: MrAngryFace on November 30, 2008, 08:05:12 PM
Ponchos are pretty lame- I am pretty sure there is an episode of Inspector Gadget where there is a poncho

Playing HD x264 encodes on PS3 is better than Netflix on 360.

Thank you, mkv2vob.
