Are you satisfied?
Do you use the xbox360/internet stream to TV feature? If so, how well does that work?
I really want it for my xbox, and the one movie at a time plan. My family would probably get an adapter for our living room TV too.

Works great. If you can't find something you'd like to watch on the streaming, then you're out of luck, but they've got a pretty wide selection. I've been watching MacGuyver while waiting for the House MD dvd's to travel back and forth.

if you get it, watch Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter.
greatest movie ever. it's on instant, so you can watch it on your xbox.
also, the xbox thing works awesome. i love it. the instant selection isn't as broad as the dvd selection, but they have enough to hold you over.

I love netflix, turnaround time is amazing if you live in a major city. They have a processing center here in Omaha, so I mail it monday, gets to netflix by tuesday, and new dvd in my mail Wednesday.
I just started using the netflix streaming through the 360 and its great. Its not a huge variety, mostly older DVD's. IE: Weeds, I just got hooked on that show due to netflix streaming but they only had the first two season available for watch and i believe weeds is on their 5th or 6th season?
The other seasons are available through DVD rental, so that's kinda the downside if you're in it to watch TV shows. Movies however I dont really know, I prefer TV series over movies.

They've got plenty of comedy stuff on download too. I've got Bill Engvall, Bill Burr, and Larry the Cable Guy waiting to go on my Xbox now.

If you like obscure independent films like I do it's great. It has JCVD and My Name is Bruce and tons of movies like that.

This. Also, 360 streaming in general works great. Selection could be wider and more up-to-date (not as many hits and seasons as the regular mail service), but there's plenty of good material (can you say original seasons of Star Trek and Twilight Zone?).

I tried the 360 streaming service back when they started it. The selection was way too small for me to be interested for very long. I know it has grown since then though.
I had the normal DVD service for several years. I stopped it because I was too busy at the time to watch the DVDs very much. I liked it a lot though. I got movies super quick and they had tons of stuff. They even have a good anime selection.

I used to have legitimate Netflix, but we bought a new house with a higher monthly rate, so we cut Netflix.
I have rented from the PSN. That was awesome.

I don't use Netflix, but it does look like something I'll use someday.
