i only watch about a movie a week on the streaming service and i think it's worth it simply for the convenience

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #3 on:** February 04, 2012, 10:20:09 AM »

I watch it constantly. I think it's worth it because you get a lot of content for a few dollars a month.

Groogrux · « **Reply #4 on:** February 04, 2012, 10:47:02 AM »

I have Netflix and I love it. I still can't justify Hulu Plus though. I haven't seen that they've got too much better of a selection to get it too. A lot of it looks to be the same stuff on Netflix.

Else - yes

I blow through about 3-4 DVDs a week, so, yeah it's worth $12.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #8 on:** February 06, 2012, 12:28:44 AM »

I think it's absolutely worth it, for streaming at least.

Hulu Plus on other hand is pissing me off, thanks to the ads and how a good deal of my shows are "web only" and SD.

If your film interests are limited, sure. It has a crazy amount of international films, however.

true. watched District B13U on it the other day.

new/current movie releases are rare though. and isn't it going to become worse as publishers want more money from netflix?

Both sound interesting, thanks.

cool breeze · « **Reply #16 on:** February 07, 2012, 11:53:18 AM »

It's definitely worth it for streaming.

For DVD/blu-ray rental, maybe not. I care more about newer movies and most are delayed a month or so. Seems like redbox is better for newer movies.

Right now I relapsed onto the DVD/blu plan to catch up to a bunch of movies I missed, then I'm going back to streaming only for another few months.

It already is becoming worse. So much of the stuff I had in my backlog is gone now and the Starz deal is set to expire soon. It's tons and tons of pure shit with a lot of decent and even good movies that are hard to find because you swim through tons and tons of pure shit. Not to mention their recommendations are fucking craptacular. I hated everything they listed in top ten picks for me.

I heard it would be on netflix too or some shit, must have heard wrong.

You can get it on video on demand, but not on Netflix.

Yeah once you go through the good stuff, it starts to dry up. Netflix hasn't gotten enough good additions lately.

I stumbled on Monty Python's Flying Circus last night and decided to watch it on a whim. Something I thought was very awesome until I realized that every other episode is missing.

I gotta admit, trying to justify this service can be pretty challenging when you come from a piracy-friendly internet culture. Somewhere where it's non-punishable, sometimes even encouraged. I'm getting there though.

Himu · « **Reply #37 on:** February 12, 2012, 08:15:50 PM »

I'm too lazy to dl movies and tv shows. that shit takes forever even on modern connections. great, dl this entire series for 12 gb, takes a day to dl. would much rather have a legal, and more accessible route.

This was the impression I got while I had my account, and (primarily) why I did not renew. I've since gone through their site to see what else is available, and it's failed to impress.

There's shitloads of content that I have yet to get through. I could see myself cancelling the subscription in a year if things stagnate there.

Don't ask me. There's a lot of stuff there and even if you went through everything, you can always watch an episode or two of Futurama or Beavis and Butthead.
