Netflix Considering More Ways Of Getting Your Movies

I haven’t been in my local Blockbuster since Netflix was created. At first I would go to Blockbuster when I needed a video and really didn’t want to wait for Netflix to ship it. Then Blockbuster came out with the ability to get movies in the mail or in the store and I thought about switching so that I could get videos when I really wanted them. But Netflix started with downloads, so now I download and connect my PC to the TV. Now I may not even have to do even that.
“Netflix CEO Reed Hastings dropped word that “in terms of enabling the viewing of online content on the television screen, we are exploring a variety of options, including Internet connected, high definition DVD players, Internet connected game consoles, and dedicated Internet set tops, with a variety of partners, trying to understand the best ways to provide inexpensive viewing of online content on the television.”
Yeah, so now I may be able to get videos over my PS3. All I can say to that is: Wow! Netflix is really, truly understanding the fact that the means of getting videos are changing. Hats off to it.

I really enjoy Netflix as well, I have been a subscriber for over a year now, it is one of the best things that has ever happened to movie rental. I used to use the local Family Video, but wasn’t that satisfied because every time I wanted a new release they were always gone, whereas with Netflix if you had your movies in on time, they could ship your new release on the same day or even before the day it was released so that it would get to you on the release date, now this I thought was really cool.

It’s called HBO and SHOwtime, along with a DVR. Never needed Blockbuster, don’t need Netflix.

Blockbuster is ok, though I miss being able to return any movie I got in the mail for a free trade at the store…unlimited. That’s now cut back to only 5 in-store rentals a month. I don’t watch TV much, most of the shows terrible. Sitcoms and that canned laughter drives me up the wall, like fingernails on a chalkboard. I haven’t tried netflix, and I wonder how much I’d have to spend to connect my PC wirelessly to the TV to make the downloads worthwhile.
