For $8.99 a month we can get unlimited streams across the internet and our PS3, and also one DVD out at a time. With this power we should be able to watch new movies all the time whenever we want, with nothing but a little loss of quality due to streaming.
What's the catch?

I've used Netflix for years, and the streaming for over a year, with that $8.99 plan. I'm very pleased with it. I use the Roku player $99 to watch instantly. There really *is* no catch. About the only complaints I have, but they are minor:
- They have pretty much every movie in the world on DVD, but not nearly as many available for instant viewing.
- Movies that are available to watch instantly may not stay that way, some seem to come and go. So for example you might pick a particular movie for your instant queue, not watch it, and after a few weeks it will disappear from your instant queue and move to the "saved" section (which means it is currently not available). Then, weeks later, it *might* automatically show up again. It's as if Netflix doesn't have a limitless amount of space to store their streaming movies, so sometimes they take some movies out of circulation.
- The instant watch movies don't have subtitles or captions (unless they're foreign movies that have them anyway).
P.S. The Roku player also lets you view Amazon video on demand, and MLB on demand.
bloops!
no catch I have been using Netflix for a year now. I chose the 3 dvds out at a time and can watch unlimited from my computer (only what they put up, but there is a wide variety)
I highly recommend it.

They're really is no catch. I've used netflix and got exactly what they promised. It's a great deal. If you aren't sure about netflix yet, do a 2 week free trial first and see how it goes for you.
Here's a link for the 2 week free netflix trial:

You use data and Internet and over time it can cost a hell's worth of money

there is none. It's a pretty straight forward thing. By far the most cost effective option for frequent movie watchers
