While all you PC users out there might be dancing in glee about Netflix’s new deal that will allow streaming of over a thousand Starz movies, we Mac kids have our own celebration. Netflix is promising an Instant Watch solution for Macs by the end of this year.
From their blog:
[blahblahblah... new Starz movies are awesome... streaming NBC shows... look at what you're missing, Mac people!] And, for all of you Mac users (of which I am one) we’ve been busy working getting a solution that will allow you to watch instantly on your Mac. So hang in there – we’ll have something for you by the end of the year.
Looks like I’ll be holding onto my membership a little longer! I definitely miss the Instant Watching I was doing back in MA when I had access to my parents’ PC. It’ll be nice not to have to run out to the video store or shell out $4 to iTunes every time I want to watch a movie. Plus the indie selection is as awesome as always, so as a film major I can excuse my excessive movie-binging as academic study.
Of course, we all know that I’ll be watching more Belushi than Fellini.
