Yeah, I saw that, but:
1) What percentage of the population is well-healed enough to have a large
enough computer monitor to make it an enjoyable experience (can the whole
family gather around the monitor??)
2) What does it promise to cost per month?

still holding out for cheaper LCD tv screens.

LOS GATOS, Calif. - Netflix Inc. will start showing movies and TV episodes
over the Internet
this week, providing its subscribers with more instant gratification as the
DVD-by-mail
service prepares for a looming technology shift threatening its survival.
Netflixs plans to unveil the new "Watch Now" feature Tuesday. Only a small
number of its
more than 6 million subscribers will get immediate access to the service,
which is being
offered at no additional charge.
Netflix expects to introduce the instant viewing system to about 250,000
more subscribers
each week through June to ensure its computers can cope with the increased
demand.
After accepting a computer applet that takes less than a minute to install,
subscribers will
be able to watch anywhere from six hours to 48 hours of material per month
on an Internet
streaming service that is supposed to prevent piracy.
