[Thats My Word]

Yall gotta be careful on how many movies ya'll are streaming.

A few months ago, my brother told me he was streaming a lot of HD netflix movies/shows and he got a call from comcast saying he is almost at his monthly 250GB data cap.

For prior months, his usage amounts were at most 100GB, then it just jumped to like 240GB all of a sudden and netflix was the only reason we could think of that could have caused this.

Could the streaming have caused this? Or was he just on a torrent pron binge or something?

A potential problem for Netflix and its streaming strategy lies in how Canadians receive Internet access, and the caps on downloading imposed by providers. In a test by The Canadian Press, a 23-minute "Trailer Park Boys" episode ate up almost 270 megabytes of data, while watching the Lars von Trier film "Antichrist" in high definition downloaded almost 2.9 gigabytes of data for the 108-minute film.

If users exceed download limits, they could face a fee at the end of the month.

[irocktmacs]

Yeah, it's pretty lame....

 

[theprocessofbelief]

How much of a difference is there between downloading and streaming? Is it not the same file size?

[theprocessofbelief]

I should be fine. My roomate used to download a TON of TV shows and we have never been called/warned.

 

[noskey]

Who's gonna run through 250gb a month though?

 

[supremeape]

[biggie62]

Unlimited Roadrunner FTW!!!

 

[theprocessofbelief]

Works well. Watched an episode of Heroes. I think this will definitely be worth it.

Im going to stay away from HD unless the movie absolutely calls for it. Plus if I want to see it badly enough, I'd most likely have bought it on BluRay anyway.

Bynum really is Jesus, besides Michael and Dr, J, who else can dunk from free throw line?

^ A ton of people can dunk from the free-throw line?

But I get what you're saying.

The developers already fixed the problem on the final build, they were unable to fix it on the demo before they released it.

[h1]Sony Warns of Fake, Exploding PS3 Controllers[/h1][h2]KaBoom![/h2][h2]September 23, 2010[/h2]


by Jim Reilly



Sony issued a consumer alert earlier this week advising all PlayStation 3 owners to only use first-party, genuine PS3 wireless controllers. The company says counterfeit controllers, which look identical in appearance, have been introduced into the market and could explode.

"SCEA advises consumers to be cautious when buying PlayStation 3 wireless controllers from uncertain sources as the quality, reliability and safety of counterfeit products is uncertain, and in some cases, may be dangerous," Sony warns.

"It is possible that some counterfeit product may ignite or explode, resulting in injury or damage to the user, your PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, or other property."

Sony also said it plans to introduce software updates to disable these counterfeit and unlicensed controllers.
