If you have a Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, you may have noticed a promo for Netflix where you can get a 30 day free trial.
I was ambivalent about Netflix at first, but after some prodding from my wife, I signed up for the trial via the Playstation network.
There are four headings to choose from, new arrivals, TV series, movies, and genres. And that is pretty much it.
The selection was disappointing, but then again, I think I expected to be able to rent Iron Man 2 and brand new movie releases aren't offered by Netflix.
Movie wise, it is pretty much older titles, though you get some foreign movies thrown in as well. Where Netflix might be your game is in TV shows and documentaries, of which there were a fair number of. Apparently in Canada you are not able to download anything off of Netflix, so when that comes around there will be added value to what is offered.
Is Netflix worth the $8.99 a month? I personally don't think so, but that is just me. If you like TV and documentaries and watching the occasional older movie and don't care about the finest selection of new releases, then Netflix will probably be worth the monthly price.
