Netflix is a streaming service (formerly named "Instant Play" or "Netflix Instant Play") can be viewed via computers, internet-connected game consoles (including the Play Station 3, Nintendo Wii, and Xbox 360), and specialty set-top boxes (such as the Roku and the Apple TV), as well as many Blu Ray players and smart TVs.
They also provide a DVD-by-mail service via the U.S. Postal Service.
Available content includes both television shows, animated series, movies and original content exclusive on its service.
See also Hulu.
"Du-Dun!"
- Digital Distribution: The Client-Server model.
- They also hold the pay cable rights to Dreamworks Animation, Relativity Media, Film District and Open Road titles.
- No Export for You: Literally. Because of licensing concerns, Netflix offers streamed content throughout the American continents, but because of their method of distribution, they only offer DVD subscriptions to U.S. residents, and the streaming libraries available to residents outside of the US are much different than the one within it.
- Offer Void in Nebraska: A variation: Some episodes of shows and special non-episode DVD releases are only available on DVD. These episodes are typically grouped by disc, but some episodes are available for streaming while other episodes on the disc are DVD-only.
- Too Dumb to Live: They, for some reason, didn't realize that hiking up their prices by 60% would mean pretty much half their customers would leave.
- 30-Day Free Trial: Netflix offers free trials of various lengths, mostly thirty days.
- Vanilla Edition: Some of Netflix's DVDs and all of their streamed movies and shows omit special features. Bonus Discs are not included with shipped DVDs, few Instant Play releases have Closed Captioning or alternate-language subtitles (a fact which resulted in a lawsuit from the National Association for the Deaf), and even fewer have alternate language tracks.
