netflix question

[pmui]

I'm looking into subscribing to netflix. I have a question: I have mulitple devices that can view streaming video from them (PS3, Xbox360, Tivo, PC) will one account let me watch the media on any device?
or will i need multiple accounts?
Do you like the streaming feature?

Thanks.

You can activate up to 6 devices with 1 Netflix account. That includes PCs and Netflix ready devices. I have my Xbox 360 and Roku currently activated with my account.

Material is a bit limited, you won't find the latest movies streaming. I was able to watch the first 4 seasons of 30 Rock on it in like 3 days To give you an example, Mall Cop and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is listed as "New Arrivals". Hope this helps...

do the DVD releases come out more timely?

They do not generaly stream new releases, just older movies and television series. I love the television series because I do not have hbo or showtime and they have some good shows.

agreed, netflix streaming is worth it for the tv series alone, and i am sure it will only get better from here.

i've signed up for the 2 week trial lastnight, Most of the movies are a month behind The streaming stuff is about 6mo after release. hmmmm....I've been using my Tivo to record stuff when i'm not home and its almost the same as netflix. Not sure if i'm going to keep it.

What do you mean "a month behind"?

get the service is worth it! if you mostly want to stream its $8.99 and you still get a movie on the mail! new releases you can get on dvd, I dont think that is due to netflix but the studios, they want the dvd sales and rental fees which are problably higher than the streaming fees netflix has to pay them...

i like the streaming part for the tv series. watched all of those episodes of Lost, Heroes, and 24

You can only use Netflix with the Xbox 360 if you have a Gold account with the Xbox.
