A lot of movies and shows (especially newer ones) aren't available for streaming, real big drawback imo. And out of curiosity, how often do you watch movies on your phone, only time I see that being useful would be like on an airplane.

i watch movies and tv shows on my phone every day at work while im doing my job.
 
Aside from the selection issues, you also don't have as much control over the picture quality. The torrents are available usually 3 months or more ahead of netflix's shipping selection. Their streaming titles aren't even close as far as selection.

Three years ago, I got a years worth of free netflix from a relative for Christmas. I got it hooked up, but back then they didn't really have the streaming capabilities, it was all by mail. Anyways, like 2 months ago I realized that I've been being billed for it this whole time. Like, it was in the fine print somewhere that when the gift certificate expires they just tap into your bank. That's when I decided to NEVER give Netflix another dollar. But now I want it again. :(

yeah, there is the auto renew. but give them a call, tell them the situation, and they will likely refund up to 6 months. just tell them calmly you've spoken to your bank who has agreed to do a chargeback for 6 months if netflix does not refund them. it costs them more to deal with a chargeback than to do a refund.

bluff them, it works.

Me Too! We use the Streaming capability a lot. You may not be able to see the movies as early as torrents but, you may and I say may get a cease and desist letter from your ISP for copy write infringment. I only say this because I got one from COX yesterday so i disabled BiTorrents and no more downloading for me. Netflix and basic cable is good enough.
 
yea but they don't update it with the good stuff :(, all the good shit is on the DVD... So I upgraded to the 3dvd plan just recently.
 
I think the TV shows are worth it.... I hate buying expensive DVD sets and stuff so I have it all on my instant play
 
I still download torrents of stuff I want to see but the whole 8 bucks a month it cost is worth it for not having to deal with finding a torrent for everything and waiting on it to download. And with Netflix, I find a lot of stuff that I would never think about to download. As far as the quality, I've got a 3mbps dsl connection and I usually get three bars, but if I'm not surfing the net I'll get four which is high def for the shows offered in high def.

get high speed internet and i doubt you will worry about the 20 minutes to dl a movie...smoke an L and its done...
 
6 mbps is as fast as it gets where I'm at. Even with faster internet it's still worth it for 8 bucks. And I don't have to hear my wife bugging me to download stuff for her.
 
Got it on my Wii, 360, PS3 and laptop :D I've been through every weed documentary available for instant play, lol
