I have a Netflix question, actually.
I recently took the free trial through my PS3, as did my nephew. On his version, they offer the ability to put movies in a queue to watch later. I do not have that option. At first I thought it was ecause I as on the free trial and he is now paid, but yesterday I renewed as a paid user, but there is still no queue. Not a major thing, but I am curious.
As it stands now, I have to start to watch something for a few seconds so it appears in my "Recently Watched" list so that I can come back to it later.

An "Add to Queue" option should show up along with the main options when you select a title. If it doesn't, just log on to your account through the Netflix website and add titles to your instant queue that way; it's faster this way anyway.

Yeah, on my nephew's version, the "Add to queue" shows up when he clicks on something. For me, no. Just checked the site also and see no sign of it there. Tried doing a search for instant queue and nothing comes up. Is it under another name, perhaps?

When you're logged into the Netflix website, just go to the tab that says Watch Instantly if you're not already on it, then it should let you see everything that's available for stream viewing. If you see something you want on your Instant Queue, let your cursor hover over the thumbnail image until another window containing the title's details shows up, and you'll see a link on the lower right-hand corner that says + Instant Queue. Click on that and it'll be added to your queue.

See, this is what makes me think I somehow have a different version than other people. there is no such tab marked "Watch Instantly". Or, perhaps, I am in that tab and it is not identified. If so, it is missing the queue option.
What I have is this (on their site):
Red bar across the top of the screen with Netflix on the left and on the right My Name / Your Account & Help
Under that, 5 tabs: Home/ Just for Kids/ Genres/ New Arrivals/ Taste Profile.
Under that, it shows 4 movies and asks me to rate them.
Next comes movies, listed by genre, listing about 12-25 titles in each genre.
Then at the bottom of the page is another red bar with Netflix on the left and 3 columns on the right: Website/ Membership/ Company
Each of the three columns has between 3 and 7 options, none of which are for making a queue.
Anyhow, it doesn't really matter. I just find it odd that what I have seems to different from everybody else. I will have to check with other people to see if they have it or not.

That's really weird. Are you sure you have instant streaming as part of your plan? I've always had it as part of mine so I don't know if those who are DVD-only don't have it, but even though I'm streaming-only now I can still view titles that are exclusively disc-based.

Ok, not to drag this out... I got an answer by contacting Netflix directly. Seems the queue is under beta and not on all accounts.
Good to know I am not blind or crazy.

Go to your account page
In the 3rd column of account info should list your plan and allow you to change it
Select Change plan
This will allow you to select the plan that you want. To get streaming you need to select:
Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs)
OR
Unlimited Streaming + DVDs
If one of those are not checked you do not have streaming capabilities
Go back to your account page, scroll down a little and then try the problem watching instantly option if a queue has not show up anywhere.

Well, as mentioned, I am not too worried about this, but since you seemed to have a solution, I decided to check it. Clicking on "Your Account & Help" gives me a page with the following:|

Upper right: a number of links under the heading "Manage Account". They are:
Language preferences
Manage video quality
Put membership on hold
Cancel membership
Change parental control setting
See membership terms & details
Manage mailing preferences
See movie rating history
Manage Facebook
Middle Left (under account info) is this:

Manage Netflix ready devices and computers
Middle right is:

Continue
See gift subscription purchases

Then at the bottom is Recent Activity.
I am not sure which you consider the 3rd column Clicking anything under the Watching Instantly heading takes me to a screen to get an activation code or to activate my device, neither of which I need to do.

Are you accessing the page via a PC or a different device like a phone or what not?
Also are you sure you are on Netflix website. That sounds stupid, but considering it's a different page it may be a different site.
Anyways, try clicking this. It should take you to a page that has subscription settings... or ask you to log in and than take you there
https://www.netflix.com/SubscriptionChange?
It will let you check your settings if your settings are not set to streaming you should be streaming...
Also You might want to refresh a whole bunch to clear the cache of the page to see if that fixes anything.
Yeah, I am on my PC at the moment. The link you gave comes up "Not found" for me.
Anyhow, at this rate, I'm just gonna leave it. I can live without the queue. As I mentioned above, I just watch a few seconds then back out and I have a makeshift queue in the "recently watched" category.
The only thing that I am left wondering, though, is whether I have access to everything I should (Warehouse 13, for example, is not listed), but there is plenty to watch, so I am not gonna worry about it.

So I just started to watch this because; hey, nothing else to do at work while watching the printer jam for the 41184378210th time! (grr I hate printers
).But so far I'm up to ep. 20 or 21 I think....wow....canon is sooo off (at least to me coming from the 90s cartoon).
HATE the whole "she's a lvl 5 mutant!" and "The Phoenix is just Jean Gray's powers suppressed!" ugh...no..it's not...stop this whole "lvl x mutant power" stuff...The Phoenix is a separate entity not some "suppressed powers" that Jean has....
The Silver Samurai's power wasn't to "charge his sword and it cuts through anything"...it was teleportation from what I remember from the 90s cartoon.
Juggernaut being a 'dumb' mutant...(haven't seen him talk at all yet)...
I can see it stole (or based off of) X-Men 2 the movie a lot...

Today I found Conan the Barbarian (the original Ahnold version) and They Live! (the Rowdy Roddy piper flick!)
Also Star Trek the animated series.
There was a star trek animated series???
Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?
Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

Indeed there was. And it was every bit as cheesy as the original.

Yep and it introduced the holodeck (in 1974), an episode that tied in with the Nivenverse (not surprising as several TOS episodes were penned by SciFi authors) and they replaced Chekov with a catgirl.

I admit I squeed a little when I saw Walking Dead in the new arrivals the other day; I have to assume that means Season 2 will be added at some point, right? RIGHT??? It's the only way I'm going to (legally) get to see it :S|

Warehouse 13 I added because it sounded interesting to check out. The timing seemed just about right.
I found it odd Tron: Legacy was added to my Instant Queue on it's own, but assume it was placed there because the DVD had been on the DVD queue? I recently switched over to the streaming only option, and am wondering if the DVD queue will be used to port to my stream queue when those selections are converted? Time will tell.

I don't use Netflix but Captain America will be up on Amazon In-Demand on the 25th! Will probably be available on other services like Netflix and iTunes too I guess.

Speaking of finding out what's new on Netflix....don't they have an email they can send out when something new is added? Or that I might actually be interested in based on all that star'd info?
If there is one, point me at it since I've yet to find it with random hunts when I think about it.
