Awesome! I just hope they are decent quality.
Some instant netflix look really good in 720p, then others look worse than VHS.

My experience with Netflix streaming is that the vidio quality was worse than most YouTube HD, let alone broadcast or cable HD; not to mention the crappy 2-channel audio. I guess convenience matters more than quality for some, but I'll stick with blu-ray for movies, thanks.

If you're talking about streaming via browser then I agree. but have you tried streaming via a blu-ray player, x-box or even Wii? The difference is just night and day.

Hmmm. That's unusual. I've had a completely different experience with the streaming. Yes, it's 2-channel sound but the video looks great on my end. Of course, it's not blu-ray but for instant streaming it looks just as good as any of my DVDs.

The video looks better then DVD from my HD TiVo or Blu-ray player. The 2 channel audio does suck though.

The movies look great on my iPad while I lay in bed!

I'll agree it's similar to DVD quality - the titles I looked at had slightly more resolution than DVD, but also more compression artifacts (which really bug me). I just don't consider that good, and would rather wait for the blu-ray to show up in my mailbox.

Too bad I have to pay an extra fee (xbox live) to stream on my 360.
