Netflix!

I just got Netflix. I decided to do this because I barely ever get to see movies in theaters, and renting is a lot harder these days and really, netflix makes it so easy. Something that played a big part in my decision was the new addition to Xbox Live, which was integration with Netflix. Before, all you could do was either get videos in the mail or stream it to your computer. The good thing about getting the DVDs in the mail is that you can watch them on a big screen (your tv), but only a certain amount at a time (depending on which subscription you have). The good thing about streaming them to your computer is that you can watch as many movies as you want, though you have to deal with a small computer screen most of the time. With the Xbox Live integration, you can stream them to your Xbox 360 and watch them on your TV. It's great, I've got like 10 movies/shows queued up already. The only problem with the streaming is that you don't get as big of a library to choose from, so some of the new releases might not be out yet. But that's what the regular service is for. If I want a new movie, I can just get it through the mail.
