    It does indeed have a worst selection but it's free and it works. Just offering an alternative. As for Netflix having a bad selection I have to ask. Compared to what?

    Im not sure, im not arguing that it DOES have a bad selection. I think that the selection is perfect for the price.

    Crackle is great I just watched The Professional on the PB and it looked good.
    Once Crackle starts getting bigger they will be a serious competition.

    Crackle sucks. I tried it on my Android. Limited selection of bad movies. They don't update catalog often. Website is a nightmare to load and navigate.

    Why? I mean I know thier selection is limited. But damn it's free? Is there something better that I don't know about?

    Anyway, I'm an old head. I like watching old epidsodes of Bewitched and I Dream of Genie.

    It's better than nothing I guess. I'd rather Netflix or Amazon Instant. Right now I'm just loading my DVD's onto my PlayBook.

    I used Crackle for a few months on the Thunderbolt just to test it. I was really disappointed. The only pro is it's free! I found it laggy as well.

    So yeah it is free. But I can't find much to watch so what's the point?

    Depends on what floats your boat. I personally love history documentaries and there's a ton of those full length on YouTube

    If its streaming through the browser you are after then there are other sites as well. Hulu doesn't work but going directly to the website of CBS works. I was able to watch several shows last night with no problems. Have not tried other networks but I assume they would work just as well. I actually just canceled my netflix account due to limited titles. There hasn't really been any new titles for awhile and they are losing their contract with one of the major movie companies so that just makes things worse.

    This brings another point.
    People think Netflix is everything. If you search real good you can find a lot of
    good free shows online. for instance

    Did you miss the posts recently about Amazon Instant Video being incompatible and Amazon not supporting the Playbook? It works for some selections but is blocked for movies....

    I just browsed quickly for a minute and for the most part crackle has the exact same movies you can get at YouTube.com/movies. Nothing more nothing less and they are both free. They do offer a few good movies, but after you're done watching all 6 of them you're pretty much sol, compared to the 17 movies and tv shows on netflix.
