    Do you use PS3MediaServer? If not, does the program you use suffer from any latency or loss of quality issues?

    You might want to look into a GoogleTV or AppleTV type deal. It's a one time purchase (usually 200-300) for the box and you can get everything on the internet on your TV. Alot of them come pre-programmed for movie streaming sites so if you want to watch something, instead of going to Redbox, you can just order it instantly from home. I haven't rented a single Netflix or Redbox movie since I bought it. And you can watch almost anything you want. Even if they're not popular films.

    I don't download as much as I should, but I hit up the Redbox because between my job and house (5 mins away) theres like 6 of them. Which is basically every corner if I leave my house and go anywhere. If im bored, remembered something came out or taking a shorty back to the house its convenient. Funny how every time I do rent one I go home fall asleep and don't watch it til like 6pm the next day then gotta run out to return it by 9pm.. smh

    dont ? the messenger:

    instantwatchers.com

    its a site that shows alot more movies that netflix stream offers. they dont hardly show us ? , but that site shows everything plus movies thats being released soon. you just gotta mess around a bit and explore the site.

    now, say you on instantwatcher.com, u see a movie, then go to your que and add it. it may not be there in your que. u gotta search that movie out to watch it. netflix madd slow with that ? .

    but dont log on instantwatcher. i dont trust it all like that and you shouldnt either.

    I hate blockbuster is dying. I could watch about 3 movies a week with the movie mail and in-store exchange.

    The blockbuster down the street got laid to rest about a year ago. There is one about 6 miles from me that's probably o life support.
