It's not a purchase, but I did just order this.

Netflix. (I'm not quite that dumb, yet)
Start with the stupid questions first...it often saves time.

It varies based on your package. You can get it for $4.99 a month to have one DVD at a time with 2 rentals a month and 2 hours of streaming on PC only all the way up to $23.99 a month for 4 DVDs at a time, unlimited rentals, and unlimited instant streaming to any Netflix capabale device.

The cheapest package for streaming on the PS3 or 360 would be $8.99 for one DVD at a time, unlimited rentals, and unlimited streaming to any enabled device.

They also charge a premium (I believe it is $3 a month) if you want to rent Blu-Rays.
 
$8.99 (or $11.99) with a Blu-ray and unlimited streaming is a hella awesome deal.

What's the streaming quality like?
 
Fly to Australia to pick up a copy.
I can't think of any other big movies which were released here much sooner than everyone else. And I'm really unsure why :lol:. Maybe because the premiere was in Sydney, and they may have filmed some parts of the movie here also.

Based on my used with the PC, it depends on your connection. Before it starts it detects your connection and then adjusts the quality scale to the best possible without lag. It can go from You Tube crappy to HD (assuming HD is available for the film in question). As my connection is never good enough for streaming HD I don't know if it goes up to 1080 or stops at 720.

Even at 1080p I am almost positive that it won't be as good as a Blu-Ray due to lower bit rates and probably lowered sound quality.

The only real issue is the streaming selection. It is not available for most of their catalog and agreements mean that some stuff is only available temporarily. But if I want an instant Giant Shark vs Mega Octopus fix it is right there waiting for me.
 
Westfield B1000 (Sunburst)

Amp to come soon :D

Your birthday and you didn't go for a candy-apple red or sunburst Strat? :P

Never heard of Westfield, is it something which holds quality or is it amongst many of those cheap Fender rip-offs with very low quality? I hope it isn't the latter :lol:

Major win on the sunburst colour though 👍
