I changed to the one disc only plan. Was going trying to decide between one disc and streaming. Decided to go with one disc as a way to get new releases plus some TV shows I've been wanting to watch that aren't on streaming.

I'm growing tired of Netflix. I can get anything I want from online sites, including TV shows, music and movies. Netflix is losing its hold by raking up prices and not offering more in return of quality programming. In this day and age you can get ANYTHING you want with a solid internet connection.

Anything from the Wii is going to look like garbage on an HDTV, I am not sure about the Roku since I am not familiar with it. But the PS3 is HD all the way (same with 360).

This is not true at all. Streaming through a Wii looks fine on HDTV's.
PS3 may be better and give you a true HD picture, but the quality through a Wii is at least DVD quality.

I was on the fence till I saw how insanely better than expected the Netflix App for the Droid is. I mean seriously, in a normal place where I can get a decent signal, the picture quality is pretty dang good. Plus they're a better deal than anything else out there, and I sadly don't use the 1 DVD at a time as much as I should, but don't want to go instant only.

I don't think that they are equally illegal. I think that there is a much greater chance that you are going to get sued through a torrent than through netflix. I can see them possibly cancelling my membership, but I would have a hard time seeing how they could have any proof that I was doing anything illegal with the movies. I copy them and keep them on my local drive for my own consumption, not sure how they would be able to gather any proof of that.

Just because it's harder to prove doesn't make it less illegal, dumbass.
I must be crazy to be in a loony bin like this.

The price for unlimited streaming without a DVD rental hasn't gone up. That's the only Netflix service worth paying for, really. It's almost impossible to get and watch 20 DVDs per month, so if you want something that's on DVD just get it from Redbox.

That is what I have and it is awesome. Getting to watch Sons of Anarchy and get caught up to last season is worth it. Watching that alone is worth 4 and a half months on Netflix.

My question is why would you ever pay for the DVDs? Even at $13.99/month it's cheaper to just go to a Redbox and get a DVD for $1. Do you really ever watch 14 DVDs from Netflix in one month? The streaming is worth it for convenience and binge-watching TV shows. The DVDs were never worth it once Redbox hit the market.

One thing, though, Netflix has a vast inventory of movies. Redbox, not so much.

Anybody using Amazon's streaming service? Is it any good? I thought about going prime in the past, and if the streaming is actually decent it might be time to make that leap.

I've used it. The quality is about the same as Netflix--good. The problem I have is their search model. They really make it hard to find movies. Plus, I haven't found a way to go online and put content in a que. One thing I like, though, is buying a TV series that Netflix doesn't offer for streaming. Those are easy to que up and watch.

They don't. I do the same thing. I enable Blu-ray delivery about once every few months, and I get 3 at a time. I rip them to the hard drive about as fast as I get them (the movies are back in the mail the same day I get them). After I "reload," I quit the delivery model until I start to run dry. Sometimes I keep the movies after watching them, and sometimes I delete them. The blu-rays I buy, I rip to the hard drive, too. They're easier to watch, and I don't have to bother with a crap load of commercials and warnings--just goes straight to the movie.

No no, he's cancelling "purely on principle"! A simple economic principle perhaps?
