    also dudes who have netflix and like fighting movies, watch Chocolate (i hope that link works). it starts a bit slowly, but the fight scenes in it are amazing. it's on instant play too.

    I have this in my queue, but I haven't gotten to it. It's worth it?

    yeah i rather enjoyed it, i streamed it through my ps3 which is pretty awesome. the fight scenes are choreographed really well, and they are looong. it does start a bit slow though, and i wasn't all that fond of the "story", but who really watches these sorts of films for the story?

    Oh, here's another question. I use Netflix through my 360 sometimes, but I'm buying a PS3 shortly, and it will be hooked up to our main tv to serve for blu-ray and all that shit (wooo Star Trek). I'd like to watch Netflix streaming through it too, is it pretty decent?

    Yeah, I use it all the time. You have to have the Netflix disc in, but I just watched the first season of 30 Rock through it.

    I'd recommend getting one of the PS3 remotes too.

    The PS3 remotes are hella spiffy

    So much better than the embarrassment called a 360 remote

    oh yeah, it is really easy, and i am actually surprised at the video quality on most movies i watch on mine. i haven't been able to compare it to the 360 version, but i've never been disappointed when streaming something. (except that i can't put subtitles on, but whatcha gonna do)

    my instant que is full as heck all the time because they give such a limited choice pool when not on a computer. so i just add whatever i may wan to watch to my que and all is good.

    i actually have one, and prefer the normal controller, the d-pad like buttons on the remote make going through choices quickly a bother, and joysticks don't need to be pushed at juuust the right angle with juuust the right amount of pressure to work every time.

    just gotta remember triangle brings up the video options during movie playback, and pressing triangle again makes em go away.

    I'm looking forward to buying things.

    I have a table in my kitchen with my laptop on it. The kitchen connects to my bedroom. That's about all there is to it. The idea of owning even an HDTV or anything is unfathomable for me at this point in my life. I meant to order cable when I moved in to this place, but I never got around to it, and that was eight months ago.

    Everyone older than me is established enough to have nice things...those far younger than me are still milking the parental teet and getting the benefits that come along with that.

    Being 23 is weird.

    Depends on the plan you get. The most basic plan is 1 DVD out at a time, and that's $8.99. That still lets you do all the instant streaming you want.

    I have the 2 DVD plan, which is $13.99 at base, then I upgraded to a Blu-Ray plan, so I pay $16.99 a month.

    Love chocolate. The extra stuff at the end showing the screw ups are brutal too. That girl got majorly injured. That's always my favorite part of those films, because it is amazing what those dudes go through for the fight scenes. Also if you like choclate, might as well catch all of Tony jaa's stuff.

    Even if you get the 1 DVD plan, they're pretty quick on the turnaround when you mail it back in.

    The PS3 is also great if you'd want to store music on it. You can just plug in your iPod and copy everything over. I also have a few movies saved. Just transfer what you want from a USB drive. You can do the same with game saves.

    There are really so many things that are done better than the 360 does them, it's a shame that games usually turn out looking or performing just a tad better on the 360.

    That's bullpoop. It's really dependant on the game and the creators and all, and most take the lazy route when porting, so a few ps3 games suffer performance issues when compared to their 360 counterparts. Besides, there's more than enough ps3 exclusives to make it worthwhile, just from a gaming standpoint. Now pardon me while I take off my Sony fanboy hat.

    Yah the ps1 classics is awesome, especially if you have a psp as well. Waiting for ff9 to show up, even though I still have my ps1 copy.

    One awesome thing about the ps3 is that you can hook up an external hard drive and play movies and music from it, takes most movie formats like xvid and h264. I use my ps3 as my streaming porn station
