Wait, so how does it work? Do you pay for the disk?

ETA: Nevermind, I found it and ordered my disk. I'm excited!

We have had it through our X-box for about 6 months. It is awesome. I love it. And what's available seems to get better all the time.

I don't think you have to have wii or xbox to get it, but you have to buy some kind of box from netflix for about $100. But you can also watch the instant movies through your computer. I think we pay extra on our netflix account to have this service.

We have our netflix on hold while Tom is out of a job, but I can't wait until we can get that disc and have instant watch movies! We ordered it a while back when you first mentioned it. Thanks for letting me know it is being delivered!

I just ordered mine! They have all of the kids' shows that my DS loves, too! Maybe I can cut back our cable and save some $$ this way, thanks for posting this!

We've had it for our PS3 for quite awhile and use it all the time, but just got our Wii disk, too. But we can stream through our media center (our TV has a computer..sad, but true), so we're set up with pretty much everything LOL

We don't have a Wii but we have an Xbox and a PS3 and watch the Netflix instant stream through them all the time! It's fantastic!

We have the 2 disks out at a time program ... and the instant movies are free with that level of service. We watched one movie before we left this evening...that was so cool!

My DALLAS season 4 disk 1 was **GLUED** into the inside of the sleeve in the envelope so Netflix is sending me a new disk ... I gotta find out WHO killed J.R. (don't tell me!) ... I hope they HURRY and get season 6 to rent before we get that far!!

...so... what are your favorites on Netflix right now???

We don't do it it through the Wii but with our Tivo. It is awesome! Love watching movies that way.

Ohhhhhh, did you know they were sending it. I thought I put it on my account to send it when it was available. My kiddos will be so excited. I need to see if they have Knots Landing. That is my show!!!

Good point, Darcy! Do you have to watch Hulu on your computer though? Or can you stream it to the TV? I'll have to go investigate.

It shows mine is reserved and they'll send it when it's ready. My DH works Graves so on his nights off, he can't sleep. So he lays my laptop ontop of him and watches movies in bed all night.

I don't have any good movies right now. I can't wait for Dexter's new season to come out though!!

we don't use it...I really can't find movies on there I want to watch...we just have the streaming service and most of the time when we look through it either we have seen the movies or they don't have anything we really want to watch....my 2 little kids watch movies over and over, so normally that is what we watch...but we had it through our XBOX....

We got ours in the mail yesterday and I used it as a prod on DH to get him to finally go buy the flat screen tv we have been talking about for 2 months.

Our interent speed though might play some havoc with the streaming video because it's low end broadband, but we'll see how it goes. Hoping to have the new TV and Wii all set up tomorrow to give it a test. We have the unlimited on demand plan as well but I don't like watching movies on my laptop so I an really hoping this works okk with our internet speed

I think that is what we have ... and it worked much better than on my laptop! Sweet on the tv! Actually I have my OWN tv because dh and I watch entirely different shows. I actually don't watch cable tv (basically watch one tv show, morning news, and QVC...that's it)...I like to watch it on my time and what I want to watch...so netflix fits me perfectly. Hope it works for you!

In regards to the question about whether I knew it was coming...got an email that said it was on it's way. It comes in a similar netflix envie...but when you open it...it has DO NOT RETURN DVD to Netflix on it.

I'm out doing errands right now...can't wait to get home to watch more on it ... while I wait for my Dallas TV disk to get here Monday.
