Netflix Offers "Watch Now" Downloads for Subscribers
If you're a Netflix subscriber, you'll soon be able to watch movies on your PC or laptop at no extra charge. According to HackingNetflix.com:
Netflix has launched a new feature called Watch Now that will enable subscribers, at no additional cost, to watch movies immediately on Netflix.com. The new service does not limit the number of movies a customer can watch, instead it gives users 1 hour of video for every $1 they spend monthly (18 hours of online video is free with the $17.99 plan). Customers can watch 5 minutes of a movie, decide that they don't like it, and switch to another without penalty (many online movie rental options require watching a movie within a certain time period, such as 24 hours or 14 days, or the movie will have to be re-rented at additional cost).
The service isn't available to all subscribers yet:
Unfortunately, the Watch Now feature will only be available to a few customers at this time, and it will be rolled out to all customers over the next six months.
While there's a few limitations and will only feature about 1000 movies to start, it's still a great feature if you're a Netflix subscriber or thinking about about becoming a subscriber. Be sure to check out all of the details in the HackingNetflix.com article.
