Even with my Netflix account and streaming, the majority of our "kid" DVD rentals is from the library - oblique Aug 6, 13:05 10

  - 30 years away from that. the networks couldnt handle it -- nm - Remlik on the 'droid Aug 6, 13:10 2
    - No, I just mean I wish New Releases were streamable on Netflix. Not 80% crap and 20% watchable stuff. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 6, 13:13
    - We're victims of the shitty ISPs. The bandwidth is more than available. Look at 50mbps+ cable and FIOS - oblique Aug 6, 13:12
  - We use the streaming on a daily basis. No question about it's value - oblique Aug 6, 13:08 4
    - My kids watch it all day long. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 6, 13:10 3
      - Spongebob? - oblique Aug 6, 13:13 2
        
        Christina is into all the anime they have, and catching up on movies we've recommended. - JaxSean Aug 6, 13:14 1
        
        Did you show her the Robotech series? -- nm - oblique Aug 6, 13:15
- I just didn't want Netflix to know I was checking out the Star Wars prequels, and our library purges all check-out history for legal reasons. - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 6, 13:07
