so i use netflix but it has not been 100 % satisfactory because a lot of the dvds glitch and also ordering and then getting what you are in the mood for is gratification not instant

i had talked to them about having an all streaming service but there are of course copyright issues

anyway this month i noticed that i have watched a lot of movies and i was starting to wonder if i should feel guilty but i liked it so i had a delimma

now i find (from digg) that they have in fact made streaming unlimited

netflix video online (http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/01/13/netflix-subscribers-get-to-watch-as-many-online-videos-as-they-w/)


of course it is not all the movies available on dvd

i wonder how long it will be before all movies are available for streaming as soon as they go to dvd

what do you think ?

ten years or less maybe ?

i'm sure a lot less, maybe two years. remember movies are already coming on the "ondemand" service the same day as dvds. i'm sure it's really just a licensing issue between netflix and the studios

i love it when reality is the way i want it to be

i use movielink

so maybe within ten years movies will be released online as soon as in the theaters or very very shortly thereafter

i would like it if you could read the review when it is released and then get it while you have the 'appetite' because i often read a review and want to see it then i forget to look at the theater listings

pizza deliveries would skyrocket

it is a good thing i already graduated because i would be in trouble with unlimited movies

that might work for some films, being that the theater release is is just marking for the dvd release, but i love the theater. if i could afford it i would own a theater set up and just screen TCM all the time
