I wonder how they are working in the copy protection… with typical streaming video in fullscreen it’s dead easy to record with the computer. Maybe they went with Microsoft technology for the security.

This is great. Wonder when Blockbuster will be on it as well.

I’ve been thinking about getting NetFlix or the Blockbuster equivelent. I see Blockbuster’s in-store pickup as a great advantage, and now NetFlix is trying to offset that with this online option. As you say, no mac support would suck hard. Even so, I wonder if that would really make a huge difference considering Blockbuster will be moving in this direction soon as well. As of right now, I’m leaning heavily towards Blockbuster.

Another question I had was that it seems that from a lot of reports, NetFlix slows its dvd distribution if you watch too many movies per month because it costs them so much money. How long until all the bandwith starts costing them too much money and they start screwing with your online bandwith too.
