I’m lovin’ it.  The movie selection for streaming movies is huge and far more superior to MovieLink.  The quality is great, I haven’t had any problems with the movies.  I signed up for a trial with unlimited “Instant” movies.  I think between Alison and me we’ve watched like 8 already. 

The selection is good for older movies, however if you want anything new you’re not going to find it.  For that MovieLink is better.  A combination of both of these services though is great.  Since I have my computer hooked up to my entertainment center it really works out great. 

This is a site that lets you rent movies online.  I know Apple and Netflix are doing this now too, but here, there is no membership required.  It works pretty slick.  Find the movie you want to rent, add it to your shopping cart and checkout.  Once you purchase the rental you have a 24 hour period to view the movie.  You might ask how the manage that?  Well you have to download a desktop app in order to download and view movies.  The manager does integrate with Windows MCE nicely though.  I’ve watched a few movies off of the site and it has worked out great.  The only thing they need to work on is their selection, right now it is pretty limited, but hey, you don’t have a subscription so you’re not losing out on anything if they don’t have what you want.  I’ll have to review Netflix next.
