need a little accent

So we have had a Blockbuster mail order subscription for about two years now. I vastly preferred it over Netflix because I could exchange them in the store when I felt the need to get a movie right then and there. The problem is, they started making me return them! I know, it is very annoying. I used to have 30 days before they would charge me and even then if I returned it after the 30 day mark (it has happened) I would get a refund. They changed it to 10 days and no refund. I am just not that responsible with my rentals, so we were going to cancel it. Then I see a commercial for netflix that they now allow you to watch streaming movies on your computer or xbox with your membership in addition to getting movies mailed to you. This means Justin can actually activate his xbox live account that he got last year for Christmas and I can watch a movie with lovely British accents anytime I want. I seriously am a complete sucker for romantic comedies with British accents. I can't help myself. I crave it sometimes, so this is going to be so, so excellent.

  1. Warning - as of when we had Netflix, you couldnt stream view anything you wanted, only certain movies. That may have changed, though.

  2. We've tried to get our netflix to work through the xbox, but have been totally unsuccessful. Not sure why--we followed all the directions. If you guys figure it out, let me know how you did it.

  3. I'm looking into getting a Roku box. (shhh... don't tell my husband...) Some friends have one and they said it works great for streaming video from Netflix.
