So I rejoined Netflix after a couple years hiatus because DD #2 wanted to watch Big Bang Theory. (thanks soooo much Shellybob!) but they just introduced a new feature. We can get the instant movies on our big TV through our Wii. They sent us a disk and now all we have to do is load and go! Too super cool!

I have had netflix since the beginning. I love to watch movies while I scrap. Lately Ive been checking out some classics. I highly recommend "Gilda" and "Laura", movies I would probably have never watched.

We have that too... isn't that the coolest thing??? We run ours through our computer to the blu-ray disc players somehow. I don't understand all the new technology but I'm liking the end result!

We love it too! We watch through the XBox... or the Wii... How is it that we own *every* video game system and we don't have kids old enough to play?? :?

We have Netflix instant viewing on our XBox and it's awesome! When we first got the XBox we could only see what was in our instant queue but now they've added browsing features and "add to instant queue" from the browsing on the XBox which makes it even better.

We use that too! Currently watching the first 3 seasons of Bones on there. It's great!

I love watching movies on my laptop when DH is watching something I don't want to see.

wow. that would be totally worth it! I'm going to have to look into that.
Do they have a list of shows on dvd to watch too. Because sometimes, I just don't have time to watch the shows, and it would be nice to sit down and watch a bunch of the same show in order. Like "Lost". The second season totally lost me and I gave up. So to sit down and watch it all at once would be great!

I saw a commercial for that. Definitely peeked my interest. I might check it out, once all my stupid bills are paid.

we have it through our xbox 360 - isnt it great! and the really cool thing is that you can watch them on your computer too, and at the same time! so sometimes DD will watch something on the tv and DH will watch something different on his computer

I had no idea you could watch through a Wii. I dropped Netflix last year and switched to Redbox with the online reservations, but now I may have to check out Netflix once again. Thanks for the tip!

I totally love watching my Netflix instant stuff through the Wii. It was a nice new feature for them to add.

OH---and I'm a member of NF, too. I've watched lots of series on my puter as well on the tv.
We don't have a Wii, but I know about that option, as well.

Hmmm... with the closing of our local video stores, Total Video, Hollywood Video, Star Videos... I need to look at the online process. I have a Wii but I only like to watch movies on the weekend... usually 20 in three days! Is there an option for that?? LOL Wonder how much it would cost me??
