    I've been flixed

    I've had a Netflix subscription for over two years now. I came across this site when I googled "Netflix Avatar release date". The reason for the google? A friend of mine had rented and watched Avatar the other night. I wondered how he could have when my Netflix queue had a 5-22-10 release date. As Paul Harvey eloquently put it "Now you know the rest of the story".

    This totally sucks. When it does become available, if I don't send in my disks at the right time, I'll probably have "A very long wait" showing up in the movie's availability slot, and have to wait yet another month just to see it.

    It seems that many Netflix subscribers are Netflix streamers, as am I. However, I prefer to watch movies with a blue ray disc on my 1080p HD TV and listen in true surround sound (5.1 Dolby). My Internet connection is below that with which Netflix deems necessary to stream movies in HD. The movies I can watch are on par most times with a standard DVD, but the sound is only 2 channel stereo. Add the fact that you don't have the "extras" to watch as you do on a disc, the viewing experience just isn't the same.

    I will be looking into what Block Buster has to offer. Or maybe cancel my Netflix subscription and go back to renting the "old fashion way" at the local video store.
