Tanman19az · 03-12-2008, 06:55 PM

yea I joined their beta version several months ago. Watched the complete first season of arrested development on it and some funny snl clips

DC_Street · 03-12-2008, 07:39 PM

thats awesome!

I can't wait to get home to hook my pc up to my TV and try out a movie, I'm sure it will look like crap...but I mean free is free after all

Wow. Thanks for the Link. Wake me up when 10,000 BC, Dr. Seuss's Horton hears a Who!, and Dark Knight is up, lol!

I think this site has the potential to kill YouTube.

I don't think so, youtube is personal videos and as long as the spotlight is on the user and they get to feel "famous" it will stick around...but for watching movie clips or tv shows this will kill youtube easily

Thats exactly the idea. The movie and tv studios wanted to have power over their content rather than Google controlling it. Thats why they're offering full length, high quality video, but with ads of course (

I checked the site out. I was happy to see Lost was available since I never watched the show and thought it was a cheap way to get started. Great show..

Here is my reaction..

If this is the future of HD downloads, it has a LONG way to go. Quality was not up to par. Advertising can be placed within the show. Navigating to the site can be cumbersome, and the hardware requirements were pretty high.

GreenFlash06 · 03-13-2008, 03:37 PM

Yeah I've heard of it I also joined the BETA version of it. Its were I caught up on the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Its like a tight gift.

CYMBOL · 03-14-2008, 11:18 AM

Has anyone checked to see if this works when accessed through the PS3?

Is it youtube quality? DVD quality? (I'm deployed and was just wondering how it works/looks).

How does the video look on 42" screens or bigger?
