Agreed. I'm canceling my Netflix subscription the second Amazon increases their selection.

EDIT: And holy shit. A video player that works beautifully and I don't have to install anything. I get a nice big message about installing Silverlight when I browse Netflix with Chrome. Although after further experimentation there are a bunch of things that annoy me off the bat. First, pressing escape while in full screen stops the movie, instead of just exiting fullscreen. Also, exiting fullscreen appears to close GChat windows that I have popped out of my browser. Obviously still some kinks to work out :P

Note to other linux users, their video player works brilliantly in linux despite being flash. Waaay better than youtube's fullscreen even. After fullscreening it, I can't even tell it's not mplayer. Very obviously an improvement from the shit netflix situation ;)

Of course your milage may vary, but you can test it out with a free clip first.

That's good to know about flash. One of the reasons that I am moving to using a mac is the crappy experience with flash in Ubuntu. I'm tired of it.
