naww i think you get one hour per dollar of your plan, every month. so, if your plan is $15 a month, you get 15 hours a month...something like that

^^^^nope, u get free instant movies, as many as u want, if u have an unlimited plan. For example i have the cheapest unlimited plan (8.99 a month), thats one disc sent to me at a time, but i get unlimited "instant" shit. The catch is theres perhaps 1 in 15 movies that are available for instant viewing. Not bad though, hella comedies (superbad, happy gilmore, etc.), stand up comedy, drama/action...and u can put as many movies in ur "instant queue" as u want, i have about 80 something now, watching it any time i want. Im on the 4th season of the office right now.

it works out good, I got my 360 hooked up wireless though, and it kinda fucks up sometimes, but thats no fault of the netflix service... Its definately worth it, especially since you get your regular 1 disc at a time netflix with it also... The instant selection isn't all to great yet, but Im sure it will get there.

eventually streaming movies, and hard drives will take over dvd's completely

you dont pay microsoft points to stream any of the movies. the same way you add the movies to your list that you want sent to your home, thats the same way you do it to add them to your "instant" list, which are all the movies you are able to stream on your computer or through your 360. if you are already a netflix member you dont have to do shit except sign up to XBL, download the netflix streaming program, enter the code they will give you online then your set. only certain movies that you view while on netflix will give you the option of playing now or adding to your instant queue to view on the 360

damn no hbo shows that was pretty much the main reason why i was going to get it... i guess i can try out the trial though.

So you can only stream certain movies like they dont have their whole collection?

the 360 allows you to stream any movie that netflix has available for streaming. so there is no difference in titles being allowed to stream on pc or xbox. the more people who stream shit will make them have more titles available for streaming. they will always be updating it, so its just a matter of time before most of the shit is streamable.
