It could be the movie. I have noticed some movies look much worse than others even at the highest bandwidth rating. I downloaded Fred Claus and it came down at about 17Mbps for the first few minutes and then stabilized with 4-5Mbps bursts of traffic every couple minutes through the movie. The picture on my 50" plasma was as good as anything else I've watched on it.
I then downloaded something else (don't remember what it was) and the picture was much worse. YMMV....

Shame since I already have a PS3 I am very happy with and it has bluray. Plus, online play is free with PS3. Anyway, I already had a Netflix account so I linked it with my new Live account. On a 2mbps connection with a 50" HDTV it looks very bad. Regular DVD's are WAY better. I did not take the time to try higher bandwidth though I was in a hurry.
