How to Stream Netflix

Just about everybody has a Netflix account. Most people get their DVDs in the mail, watch them and send them back, but there is a new way to watch some of the movies instantly. All Netflix subscriptions above the $8.99 include the ability to stream movies instantly. Currently Netflix offers over 19,000 (and counting) available streaming options. For most people sitting at your computer to watch a movie is impractical and downright uncomfortable. Thankfully Netflix knows this and has begun to integrate the ability into many popular consumer electronic devices including these:

Watch Instantly on your PC ($ Price included in Netflix subscription, no extra cost) – This is the throwback way to watch all the Netflix instant watch movies your heart desires. Like I said earlier this can be a very uncomfortable way to watch anything for a long period of time, but if you love your computer chair and have a nice monitor this is the cheapest option available.

Watch Instantly on your Xbox 360 (Starting from $199.99) – The Xbox 360 began offering Netflix instant watch in there Fall 2008 update. Netflix reported over 1 million people had begun and kept their free trial straight from the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 was one of the first generally used consumer electronic device to offer Netflix instant watch. One note, to stream Netflix on your xbox 360, it requires Xbox Live Gold which is only 40 dollars a year. Chances are if you bought one for your child they have Xbox Live Gold anyways.

Watch Instantly on your Playstation 3 (Starting from $299.99) – This is one of the newest ways to stream Netflix Instant watch titles. Currently, you need to go to Netflix and request an Instant Streaming Blu-Ray disc (which is free). Every time you want to use Netflix you put the disc in (just like you would a game.)

Watch Instantly on your internet connected Blu-Ray player (Starting from $149.99) – This are becoming more and more popular as each day passes. Some of the players are better than others (as you saw in our review of the Samsung BD-P3600. Do your homework before making a large purchase such as this, because the best Blu-Ray player that streams Netflix is the Playstation 3.

Watch Instantly on your TiVo HD DVR (Starting at $549.99) – I can’t recommend this to someone who doesn’t already own one. It is by far the most expensive option mentioned in this article, not to mention TiVo monthly subscription fee. If you do, however already own one this is your best option to watch Netflix instantly on your television.

As you can see Netflix instant streaming offers many ways to watch on your television, and more options are being created each day. If you already have a Netflix account this is the best way to get more outta your dollars.

We use Netflix nearly every day – I don’t know how we’d do without it. If you don’t already have a Netflix account – I suggest you get one:
