Netflix Watch Instantly box

[jagsfans]

Anyone using this service? Netflix sells a box for 99.99 that allows you to view any movie on your TV that's available through their watch instantly option. I'm thinking of buying this but wanted to know if anyone has used it yet.

Seems a bit steep in price. I'm a nightowl so I use the free netflix alot, but have a big monitor. There's not alot of "deep" selection there to justify that price imo.

It hooks up to your TV. It has HDMI and Component video and it also has Optical audio output. Not bad for a 99 dollar box. If they ever make one with a HD I might buy one and sign up for the service.

It isn't free. If you buy the new box you can get certain videos streamed to it.

I thought it was fairly limited too, but I got on a kick to watch classic movies and found a ton of old movies I've never seen available though the watch instantly.
