Buying an optical drive only guarantees you will spend more money buying media for it to play.
not with netflix... almost all the good shows are available to rent via dvd/blue ray and some are up for streaming already (all the hbo, showtime, etc series).
right. netflix is $14 a month. i have access to FAR more things than ondemand could ever offer.Ive realized anything i could desire to watch is available digitally, for less money [no money?] via the internet.
i enjoy my $12 basic cable bill and my $14 netflix bill while others pay upwards of $120 a month for digital cable/on demand.
I hooked up my laptop to my tv, but it looses a LOT of quality (laptop video card isn't great, plus its analog connection). with this player, it ensures me i can play everything disc wise, or stream wise, and all via hdmi.
yeah, i've watched about 10 movies streaming on my computer. it rocks with the 30" monitor and my studio monitors as my speakers. i just need to get a futon or something in my office. lolDid you try netflix HD streaming? Anytime I stream anything its instant. ZERO waiting.
