Is there an option to not upgrade? I'm going to go check it out right now... ...Just checked and I didn't see anything asking me to upgrade or install anything just now. I wonder if it's being rolled out in waves, or the option is now longer there due to the backlash?
Seriously, I've considered NF to be a very, very cool thing. Since I signed up my wife and I have bought ZERO dvds; we used to go to Frys about once a month and walk out with five or six dvds, so this has saved us LOTS of money over the past year.
But--since the people who use NF to watch stuff online (me included) are pretty internet savvy to begin with, how can they even think this won't have an impact on their bottom line? I can't wait until we can all look back with a snicker at all of the draconian DRM measures that have been tried (and hopefully failed eventually).
So I'm conflicted. I love me some NF, and I seem to always be able to find stuff to watch online. My wife loves the Roku as well, and we're averaging about 2-3 new releases a week in the mail. So I don't know if this would be enough to get us to quit, but it sure does leave a bad taste if this is true, since we use at least three different computers to watch online stuff around the house. Unless, of course, that's not an issue, but I doubt it given the summary...
Guess I'll find out soon though, eh? BT is always an option but it's hard to beat instant gratification.
