Netflix Streaming Keeps Getting Better

If you’re like me and you watch a ton of movies I would hope you have a Netflix account. If you don’t, let me break it down for you. I used to go to Best Buy every Tuesday and buy new movies. It didn’t matter what the movie was, if it sounded decent I would buy it even if I’d never seen or heard of it. I would easily drop $100+ a month on DVDs and Blu-Rays only to watch the movies once or twice… it was a waste. Netflix has literally saved me hundreds of dollars and now with the boom in the streaming video market I can watch a ton of movies whenever I want, I don’t even have to wait for them to come in the mail. And for the $16.99 I pay a month I get 2 movies via mail at a time (including Blu-Rays) and unlimited streaming to any of the devices I have that allow streaming. They even just released an iPhone app so I can now stream movies over 3G where ever I am, for free!

I know what you’re thinking though, everyone has complained that the streaming movies on Netflix are all old catalog items so what’s the point…. Well that was true, but not really anymore. Sure you’re not going to be able to stream a movie instantly on the day it’s released yet, but with the new deals in place Netflix is starting to get more and more newer movies available for streaming. As of September 1st movies like Iron Man, GI Joe and others have started to pop up on the streaming queue. So do yourself a favor, if you find yourself spending more than $15/mo on movies (which is basically one movie), sign up for Netflix and start saving yourself some money. Don’t get me wrong I still buy certain movies that I know I’ll watch more than once, but for all those other movies I no longer have to waste money buying them to check them out. And basically if you own any recent video game console (Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii) you can stream all the movies and TV shows right to your TV, not to mention the tons of Blu-Ray players and TVs that have streaming capabilities as well (not to mention all computers).
