Looks like the first of Netflix's set top boxes is out. Not bad for $99, especially considering the service is free (for subscribers). Since the quality is below DVD I can't see me using it for newer movies, but to catch an older film here and there it would be great.

I have the 3-DVD-at-a-time plan and I love it.
The things I like about Netflix:
Quick turn around time
Price
Selection(in my case, the selection at my Blockbuster *stinks*)
Among other things

I just started up my account again with the cheapest option (2 DVDs per month).

I have used both Netflix and Blockbuster Total Access. Both have provided decent service. Blockbuster's turnaround time has been a little better for us (but I'm sure this varies by location). And for my family, the ability to exchange at the store is quite an advantage.
So our preference is for Blockbuster, but we never really had any significant problems with Netflix either.

For those of us with Macs...
"Netflix CEO Says Macintosh Streaming 'Details Shortly'
On the earnings webcast this evening Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said that the 2nd generation Netflix streaming player software will support Windows and Intel Macs, and they will be 'announcing details shortly.'
Netflix is expected to use Microsoft's Silverlight technology to support the Macintosh and the Firefox browser. The timing is right: last week Microsoft launched Silverlight 2, and Netflix demonstrated a Silverlight version of the player in May 2007."
