Netflix and Mexico

[pappabee]

In case some of you have not heard here is the announcment from Netflix.

Here’s Netflix CEO Reed Hastings on the expansion

“We are excited to be bringing Netflix to Latin America and the Caribbean. People throughout the region are online in ever-greater numbers and they love movies and TV shows. We are proud to bring them the Netflix experience of instantly enjoying as many movies and TV shows as they want, when they want for one low price.”

Monday, September 12, the service comes to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.

From what I understand it'll work just the same as it did in the States.

Will there be language options in the downloads to Mexico?

According to the latest word you can get both English and Spanish, I'm not sure if it's in the same program or wou will have to have two subscriptions. We'll get more after the 12th.

I guess it's like the INM problems, you got to wait till they publish the rules.

We're eagerly awaiting word on the language/subtitles question. For us it would be ideal to have the English movies available with English audio and Spanish subtitles. Even though I speak Spanish well, dubbed movies drive me NUTS but my fiancee doesn't speak English well enough to follow an English film without Spanish subtitles.

I'd also love to see the Spanish language movies have the option of English subtitles. Some movies use street Spanish with a lot of "hip" slang, which escapes me.

We all hope that Netflix replies with, "Pan comido".

I was just talking to my sister today about Netflix and how it would take 3 weeks to get a movie. This is such good news.

I clicked on the Mexican Movies link and only got two responses, neither of which inspired me much. It looks like it will be good if you want to watch US or international movies. Not so much, if you want to watch Mexican movies to practice your spanish.

Okay, I did some googling and found this site How to Watch Netflix in Mexico which then sent me to this site Hide My Ass! and I have no idea what they are talking about. Does anyone get it?
