    Ok. I was just curious why you seem so excited about this.
    It's just another alternative. I use Amazon On Demand a lot. I find their prices very reasonable. I understand that Netflix has a huge collection but youtube in the future might have movies that netflix doesn't offer on Instant Watch. $2 is easy to swallow.

    Hell, Ghostbusters is free. To Kill A Mockingbird is free. Dr. Strangelove is free... Hard to complain about that, except what to watch after those two.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Those are from Crackle.com's library. They have a partnership. They've been on YouTube for a couple of years now. Nothing to do with the new Store service.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Will YouTube stream through devices like PS3s and Blu-ray players to your TV? I'm imagining it does. I'm just curious if YouTube would give the same experience on my Big Screen TV that Netflix does -- which is pretty glorious.

    It is looking like 3 or less movies a month = go with YouTube. 4 or more = go with Netflix.

    I haven't paid much attention to Hulu yet either. But it's been much discussed on the Criterion Facebook wall because Criterion is apparently moving all their streaming to Hulu. Some kind of falling out with Netflix or something.

    It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

    It's kind of a pain to use YouTube on the PS3 browser. The official site can't get HD video. Using this site as a workaround is the best way, but it's not ideal.
