You pathetic backwards fucks.

And they have milk in bags.

A country that needs gallon jugs of soft drinks has no room to speak on such matters.

2 liters isn't a gallon, nordfag.

Watch out.  The TV industry will probably get Netflix kneecapped by the CRTC.

I fear you might be right.
Too good to last long.

Netflix is amazing, even though it lacks in streaming new releases, both movies and TV shows.
For example, the biggest movie of the year, 13 Assasins, the last Taakashi Miishu movie, is not avaliable.

The selection in Canada is far more limited than in the US.  I am a subscriber, but mostly just for TV shows.  You can burn through the selection of watchable movies fairly quickly. I will probably cancel my membership soon.

They are adding every week.  Not sure what the delay is in implementing all the titles they have in the US.  Probably the same IP problem with only having limited download rights for electronic books even though the paper versions are easily bought in any bookstore.

Netflix is awesome.  Since I refuse to buy that stupid-ass Ponyo movie, it's the only way my kid can watch it 200 times in a week.  He figured out how to browse the Xbox 360 Netflix interface, so I have to keep an eye on him.  I caught him watching some Beavis & Butthead episodes on Netflix the other day.  Couldn't bring myself to turn it off, though.  I do put my foot down when he wants to watch South Park, though. 

We do the 2-disc at a time thing but really get our money's worth with streaming.  We can access our Netflix account on both Tivos, both Xbox 360s, and our PCs.  Only thing missing is Android support :angry:

I love netflix. I've been streaming a bunch of Mythbusters episodes. They don't have all of them available to stream, though, only ~100. Hopefully they'll add more from the DVDs that are already out.

I'll have to tell my son that. Then he'll set up our Xbox 360 to watch Netflix on, and I can watch my shows, too. :D

Barf.  An overrated snoozer.

Do the Aussies a favor, and don't insult them.  Watch Breaker Morant and Road Warrior instead.
