The selection isn't nearly as large as the dvd rental selection but that's to be expected. I'm sure they'll start expanding it. For $9 a month I think its great. If you only watch two movies a month then you're getting you're money's worth. It's easy and quick to set up and even easier to use. All you do is add a movie to your instant list online and a few seconds later it's available to watch on your 360.

I have it on their, and on my Samsung Blu-Ray player. Both are super easy to use. The Samsung player has better video quality thought so I just use it.

How do you use it on your Blu-Ray player? My roommate has a Sony Blu-Ray player in our living room that I would like to use for streaming if I can.

I have the Samsung BD-P2500 and they added it via a firmware update.

No. It has a built in ethernet port.

I'm using it..its fantastic. Now my queue isn't constipated with all the cool 1970s TV shows I want to rent. They're on 'instant' and if my kid wants to watch Battlestar Galactica or MacGuyver, I can hook him up.
Watched Transiberia last night and it looked great. I don't think it was HD but it sure looked good anyway. *ZERO* buffering issues.
I also like the 'ffwd' and 'rwd' UI..having the little 'flip book' along the bottom of the screen was a very nice touch by netflix.
One issue - I don't see a way to turn on subtitles. Is this feature not available? I had problems catching some of the dialog last night & couldn't find a way to turn subtitles on for Transiberia.

Can this be done on PS3 also?

Not yet although I don't see why not. I can only imagine Sony is going to try to 'roll their own' instead of allowing that small bit of software to run on the PS3 that makes this magic possible.
There is no reason if you can do this with TiVO & Xbox that the PS3 couldn't except for Sony being a control-freak.

Yes, just go to the netflix section of the video marketplace and it will walk you through it. I was up and running in about 10 minutes.

if your internet connection sucks, the quality will suffer. Overall I love it. Cant wait till they put more instant videos.

I'll be suprised if Sony does it because it can only hurt Blu Ray

No, they didn't. See my post above. My Samsung Blu-Ray player has it. Sony said some bullshite about it believes that their customers want to "own their content"
