Mine is pending. : (
This is great. I don't really use my PS3 for games anyways. I use it mostly for movies. It really is a remarkable multimedia device not just a gaming rig. That's the reason I went with a PS3 vs a standalone BD player.

Thank you Netflix, I can't wait for my disc.
so now at&t is $35/month more then Sprint for a lesser plan.

One word.... NICE!

I will never go to at&t in a million years. To damn expensive.
That may be the case but, $30 more per month and crappy audio quality doesn't justify getting an iPhone.

Don't get me wrong... if the iPhone were on Sprint... I would get it in a heartbeat but, not as long as they are with at&t.
Check your facts!

Sprint is much less expensive then at&t. I can get a Everything Data with Any Mobile, Anytime with unlimited data, gps, text, picture, and video messaging with 450 anytime minutes (unlimited nights and weekends begin at 7:00) for $70/mo.

at&t wants $40/mo for 450 minutes (5000 nights and weekends begin at 9:00), Data plan $30/mo, unlimited text is $20/mo, at&t Navigator $10/mo.

You do the math. at&t charges $100/mo for less then what you get with Sprint. That is $30/mo more.
Yawn!!! Had this on my Palm Pre since it was released.
I would love to see Netflix on my Palm Pre and PS3 (currently use PlayOn).

Everyone knows Apple and at&t would never allow streaming using there lacking 3g. The app would be crippled like the SlingMobile app is to wifi only. Sprint and Palm on the other had, seem like the better way to move towards from a solid business standpoint as they both want to gain customers and are willing to make things happen to do it.
Think about it. If no one stole the service, we wouldn't have to pay the anti-theft employee's salary. DirecTV wouldn't have to spend all that money investigating and paying lawyer fees.

How do you think DirecTV pays for all that? Surely not out of their revenue. They bump the prices up to cover these kinds of costs.
How can someone or a group of people be so dumb? Did they really think that DirecTV wasn't smart enough to see that they had that many receivers under one account and wouldn't question it?

Bottom line... What these satellite companies need to do is limit the amount of receivers per account to no more than 6. If someone needs more then 6, then require a site survey be done to validate that all receivers are at that location. This would surely prohibit people from stealing the signal or stacking accounts.

It's no wonder why prices are as high as they are. Legit customers get to pick up the slack.
Jon, So if I have Vista installed now but, purchase Windows 7 Upgrade, can I do a full install of Windows 7 then over my Vista?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
