I had to quickly write about our families new favorite way to watch movies-NETFLIX, and more importantly on your Wii or internet ready.
Ya, so I've just be reacquainted with Netflix. We had blockbuster online for a while and quit because it was a little more than we wanted to pay at the time. I got one of those emails from Netflix, like me and I think everyone else does in their email ALL the time, but this time I didn't delete it but decided to try it out-after all it is free for 2 weeks, right?
Well not only is it great to have them send you any movie you want to watch (and fast, we're talking 1-2 day turn around) but now they have this feature were you can watch movies instantly, which is a nice feature, but I get sick of having to be in my office watching movies only on my computer screen.
Well, it's gotten even better! They send you a free disc for your Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, or internet connected Blu-Ray player and after inputing it and doing some very simple steps you can now watch streaming movies through your internet device. And there are lots of movies to choose from.
I've also heard that the selection will get much better next month. Netflix is contracting to make some new release movies available on instant viewing as well.

Here's what you get...for about $9 a month you get unlimited streaming movies (remember not all movies are available but the selection is very good) and 1 disc at a time in the mail. Not bad, it will pay for itself real quick if you ever rent a movie or buy one.
Check it out, do the 2 week trial and see if it's for you

  1. We have Netflix too, and have LOVED the instant streaming on our Wii. We don't have any cable or satellite programming, and we have found Netflix to provide more than enough entertainment for us! :) I also love that there is a queue so that you have all your favorites ready and waiting for you, almost like DVR.
