Netflix Partners with Starz to Add 2,500 Titles

Netflix has signed a deal with Starz to make more than 2,500 titles from Starz Play available for instant streaming, at no additional charge for Netflix unlimited customers ($8.99 per month and higher subscriptions). The first 1,000 titles should be available on the Netflix website soon, and include Spiderman 3, Enchanted, Ratatouille, Pirates of the Carribbean: At World's End, Superbad, No Country for Old Men, and more.

A sneak preview of the new Starz series Crash will also be available, and new episodes will be available on the same day and date of release.

Netflix will also offer a Starz Play-only subscription for $7.99 per month.

This sounds great to me. I don't mind streaming movies on my computer and this would help me clear up a lot of my regular queue quicker.

This is great news!!! So glad I got that Roku Player when it came out. The STARZ films are already on the WI area of NetFlix.

But when will it work on a Mac???

This is great news!!! Waiting until the update for xbox 360, but for now the laptop to the computer works fine rather than wasting $100 bucks on the roku

"But when will it work on a Mac???"

Do your reading before asking stupid questions. You'll get your chance to watch on a Mac this year. You should already own a Roku anyway lazy fool.

Fantastic! Maybe I will get the Roku after all. Anyone know if the quality is good with wireless connection at 3mb down?

My DSL runs at around 2.7 Mbps. I typically get 2 or 3 dots on Watch Now. 3 dots is acceptable for almost everything. 2 dots can look fairly nasty for some movies, and look okay for others.

Wow, Matthew has some anger issues he needs to deal with. Or maybe he's not getting any and he is forced to lash out like that.

The Starz movies on my PC don't look as clear for some reason compared to the other NetFlix streams.

Anyone else notice this?
