For those with Netflix

I don't know if this has been posted yet but Netflix subscribers have a feature on their website that allows them to watch streaming movies. There is a hack to save these movies and strip the DRM using a prog that is available for d/l in the tools section. More vids for the Zune!! here is the tutorial site.

i've got netflix but i think you have to pay extra to stream movies.

No you don't. It depends on your subscription. If you pay $18.00 a month you can stream 18 hours of movies per month. If you pay $5.00 a month you can stream 5 hours of movies. It's a (kind of) new feature for ALL Netflix subscribers.

so we pay 15 bucks a month and we get 3 movies and we get 15 hours of streaming movie?

people with netflix, try this. It works well and you can pick the bitrate you want. It can be a little tricky but once you do it a couple of times, it's no big deal. The downside is when you download the movies it still counts towards your hours of streaming but so f***ing what. Movies for your Zune!!

**UPDATE**
I think netflix has changed their site so that this little trick no longer works. I have used the hack and it worked but now all of a sudden it doesn't. I had to wait for a new billing cycle to start and during that time I think the hole was fixed. Tried 3 movies with no luck.
