anyone using through xbox360, my quality seems kind of crappy....sometimes good, then goes bad, like what the heck.....

Got a free month, not sure I'll keep it, older movies, but for $8 not bad I guess, lots of tv shows to watch too....

I think netflix is worth it, if you have a good internet set up. They occasionally have some good movies on.

Running Netflix in the country on RF internet provider on PS3. Starts bad, gets better and a few bad moments during the movie.
I've also set it up on my ipad and my laptop. I can watch a movie while my wife watches TV shows I can't stand.
I did a search and found a way to tap into the US netflix (on my laptop and ipad) which has a better selection of movies. I haven't looked to see if there's a way to do this on the PS3 yet.

Agree about the bad quality at brief moments. Use ps3 and iPad. Wish they wouldn't have put "lost" on cause now I'm addicted and have to watch all the episodes and all the seasons! Had it for a year now and can't be without it...and well worth the 7.99 a month

We"re running Netflix on the WII and the kids love it, well worth the money but as others mentioned being in the country and having poor internet makes for some interuptions when watching movies.

That is a result of your internet speed. Netflix is designed to automatically adjust quality to keep the playing with no interuptions. Mine does it once in a while aswell. You may have fluctuations in your internet speed just like anyone else that will cause this. The faster your internet speeed the better the quality as there servers automatically calculate how much data you can stream without freezing up. Hope that makes sense. I prefer this over a movie freezing here and there throughout the duration. That's annoying

The couple drawbacks are that you can't use parental controls on the accounts, and you cannot delete you viewing or preview list.

I live in the country, have wireless internet and use Netflix. I may be watching a show on my laptop, my 2 young kids are watching on tablets, and there has been no problem with the pictures even when we are all surfing. IMHO it is a great deal for 8 bucks a month. I hear the US accounts are better with the newer movies tho.
