Picking Up a Blu-Ray Player? Consider the Samsung BD-P2550
Although I already have my Blu-Ray player squared away, I'm kinda excited about this Samsung high-def model instead. What sets the Samsung BD-P2550 aside from others is its features. Not only does it have HDMI, 1080p, 7.1 analog audio outputs, along with Dolby TrueHD decoding capabilities (which translates to amazing video and audio quality), but you can also stream Netflix On Demand movies and Pandora Internet radio right from the player.

The Ultimate TV Search Engine Opens Its Doors to the Public
Here's a word you're going to be hearing a lot of — Clicker! I know I often bombard you with the names of sites that stream TV shows and movies online, but now you can throw all of that knowledge out the window because a new streaming site called Clicker aggregates practically all of the shows across the web into one location.
According to TechCrunch, Clicker also pulls in Amazon Video on Demand and Netflix's Watch Instantly content (which you still have to pay for!).

Netflix Raises Blu-ray Access Prices: Still Worth It?
I was quite peeved when I got an email yesterday from Netflix saying that the price for Blu-ray access was being raised from $1 to $3 for my two-at-a-time membership (check out a price breakdown).
I took it in stride when they upped it from being free to $1 per month last year — I love Blu-rays and with my HDTV, I only rent a DVD if it's the only format available. Netflix's reasoning — that the Blu-ray demand has gotten popular and Blu-rays cost more — makes sense, but it also feels like we're getting the shaft.

Netflix On TiVo - Almost As Good As It Sounds
You can now view or modify your online movie queue with popular DVD rental programs like Netflix, Blockbuster Online and even Amazon's Unbox by downloading a simple and free TiVo plugin.
This does not mean you can have your Netflix of Blockbuster films on demand on your TiVo or even download them, but it does give you easy access to your movie queue when you're sitting in front of the TV.

94% of Americans Think Movie Downloads Are More Eco
Eighty-seven percent of respondents from a recent study believe renting DVDs at the video store or through mail services will become a thing of the past. I am not shocked at all considering what's available for download on iTunes, Amazon's streaming video, the fact that Xbox 360 streams Netflix movies, and the plethora of on-demand movie services.
The ecological positive of the trend is the fact that downloading movies is more convenient and eco-friendly than taking a drive out to the local video store.
