subject: Streaming Movies Into Your Living Room Through Your Game Console [print this page] There have been a couple of choices when it comes to viewing movies at home over the past few years. After VHS and cable, you had a breakthrough in technology with the DVD and now blu-ray. You have also had things like pay per view for a while and even the on demand stuff is cool, yet can get expensive. Many younger people and even people of the VHS generation are really into downloading and digital forms of media.
In the past, it took so long to download and was too technical for most people, but it has gotten so much easier with video streaming that most people can take advantage of its many benefits. One of the most popular and most common streaming companies is Netflix. They provide DVDs and Blu-rays sent right to your house, although the streaming is an incredible choice for many people.
Most people do not have the technical know-how or desire to connect all their devices together. You can connect your computer up to your television and stream form a desk top or lap top, yet it seems difficult to most individuals. And when people think about downloading and streaming, they think about doing it from their computers. But now, you have a choice. All three major home video consoles permit streaming from their consoles and sites. All you need is a special disc, such as a DVD that they will send you for free. Then all you need to do is hook up to the internet and start downloading your favorite movies and TV shows. It really is that simple and everybody can do it without having to get too technical and computer heavy.
Being able to turn on your Wii or PS3 and put in a DVD and connect directly to a movie database is a great deal easier for most people to deal with. People dont want things to seem more complex that it is worthwhile to do. Learning a new way to do things can be overwhelming or overly complicated for several people.
I dont like changing and when I get used to something, it takes a lot for me to switch the way I am doing it to make it worth it. Most people are used to going to the video store to rent a movie. Browsing on the internet, and instantaneously watching it is way more convenient, however it seems like a large change to get ready for.
