Why you don't want the Netflix box
38 out of 305 (so, 12%) here - I have the same reservations. Plus, I already have a media player that works great - XBMC. Having Netflix work with that would make it an even better set up. I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point, someone will get that working. mysecondstrike: Hey, you know I’m an early adopter. I joined Netflix in its first year - when they were just hoping they could...

I saw this Tumblr layout and had to use it…Later tonight I’ll switch out the pre-installed pics at the bottom and put in the oh-so-popular disqus comments…
