Watch Netflix in Trinidad on PS3,PC, XBOX 360, etc.

Could you elaborate on your use of Strong VPN specifically with Amazon VOD? Firstly, are you in Trinidad? I ask as some people here are not within our borders. Secondly, if you are in Trinidad did you have to set up a new Amazon account as I believe they require a US based credit card / address. Did you have to use entropay or some other work around for the credit card issue? You can message me the details if you like but others may be interested in your knowledge. Thanks.

Yep, im in trinidad, using my rbtt cc. I have my skybox address (ezone) on my card and on amazon's website. Ive never tried to buy videos, I sure it will work, cause I have amazon prime membership so there's alot of movies/tv series that are free to stream. I hardly ever use amazon, cause i love netflix too much. As for the latest movies i still download stuff after they get ripped from Bluay/dvd

I believe the issue is the billing address for the cc. If you could stream video then the magic is rbtt cards. if u can, try to stream one of the free videos of Amazon and let me know please. Thanks for responding.

Cool

Can it be used in Tobago?

You in Bago? I live in Bago and this worked flawlessly when I did the trial.

May start it back up again when I actually have enough time to be watching videos....

Yup the ones that are free to me are streaming. Watched part of the super shitty Battlefield Earth last night.

Excellent! I just realize I don't have Amazon Prime. I will do the upgrade and let you know.

 As technology marches on, it brings with it a whole new set of maladies. Just as keyboards have given rise to carpal tunnel syndrome, another innovation has created an ailment just as awful. Let us warn you about Netflix Streaming Syndrome.

When VHS was introduced decades ago, buying the cassettes for home viewing was cost prohibitive, so the business model of the video store was created. People would rent tapes, watch them, and then return them after several days. (Yes, it was as primitive as it sounds.) Soon the model shifted and people started buying tapes—and later DVDs—to view in their own home at their convenience. But while this worked fine when it came to your favorite movies or TV shows, it was still too pricey to assemble a vast library of entertainment content.

All of that has changed with the introduction of Netflix's unlimited streaming service, which lets you watch countless movies or TV shows whenever you want to. And not only on your computer. With an Apple TV or a Wii, you can even stream them on your big, fancy HD television. It's basically like being at the movies except there isn't any popcorn stuck in your couch and you don't have some annoying old lady sitting next to you making you stand up seven times so she can go back and forth to the rest room. Or, maybe you do?

While this innovation is great, it's also created a horrendous new ailment called Netflix Streaming Syndrome. Symptoms include:

Insomnia brought on by watching every episode of a compelling series in a row at the expense of getting a good night's sleep.

Anti-social behavior as a result of staying in and making it a "Netflix night" rather than going out in public and seeing other human beings.

Blackouts induced by spending an entire day watching movies back-to-back.
Pop culture knowledge that is a shade outdated and limited only to topics that are offered as part of the streaming package.

A glut of intense information about things most people don't care about, like the oeuvre of Meg Ryan or the subversive aspects of the first season of She-Ra: Princess of Power

A gnawing impatience when you can't watch what you want to watch when you want to watch it coupled with fits of rage when movies are not available for streaming and you must wait two whole days for an actual disc to arrive in a little red envelope in the mail.[/li]

These symptoms were avoided in the old days because one had to go to a Blockbuster or wait for a DVD to arrive in the mail, which means spacing out your consumption with other activities like interacting with your family, cooking food, doing laundry, working at a job, paying bills, and, in general, being a human being. With Netflix's streaming plan, your very humanity is in jeopardy.

And it's not just Netflix. There is all of your cable company's on-demand offerings to contend with, which can suck up more time than something worthwhile like, say, remodeling your kitchen. Then there's iTunes with all of its downloadable movies and countless season passes that are inexpensive and readily available. And let's not forget our old friend Hulu, which is like a repository for recently departed episodes of your favorite television shows. Then there is the peripheral and somewhat related black hole of watching music for an eternity on YouTube. Yes, we have become the ultimate instant gratification society, and every new gadget, program, and web service is making it even easier to wallow in our every whim.

What is the cure for Netflix Streaming Syndrome? Well, it's both dreadfully simple and woefully complex. It is something that Americas aren't especially good at: self-restraint. Yes, that means only watching one episode of The Cosby Show at a time (OK, maybe two or three), rather than investing nine hours in the entire season, or opting for one movie on a Saturday night rather than as many as you can squeeze into your bloodshot eyeballs until they fall out and roll across the floor. Yes, it's a blessing to have so much great content available for any itinerant moment that needs filling up, but—like with anything—if you abuse it, it's going to make you sick.

lol, the internet truly is the land of plenty.

nowadays I've got more bandwidth than appetite/time.

Averaging one episode a day or a movie

Still, around vacation time its not unusual to feast on 5-6 episodes/movies in  a day

This might interest those of you with ipads who have done this mod

just a heads up. Netflix works beautifully on the 3ds.

[3M_Chang]

I heard that Netflix is offering content to the Caribbean from Monday. How does this change things for those who already access Netflix through the method outlined in this thread?

Should mean you don't need the VPN anymore, unless the content they are providing does not fulfill your needs...

[Redfish]

From observing things in the past I have a bad feeling that "Latin America" is gonna mean a butt load of Spanish content.....

Would be wise to wait and see what is being offered before cancelling that unblockus membership

When Netflix had launched in Canada.. the selection was terrible compared to the US.
Now when I look at Netflix, the selection has improved durastically over the months and is now pretty much on par with the US.

HOPEFULLY, ya'll get an "as good" selection when it launches.

just a heads up. Netflix works beautifully on the 3ds.

[Redlum08]

I think thats what Jason19842 did, he can confirm...

[Doomtack]

I created an account and signed up for free trial today.
Was able to access it and stream right at work!

Loving it so far. I may keep this for a while

[Netizen1]

nice, what about the catalog? is it neutered or does it have most of the good stuff like US Netflix?
