Does anyone use this as their primary movie-watching/streaming device?
Is it worth getting as a standalone unit just for movies/vcr?

I use it to watch DVD's and game frequently. DVD/audio quality is superb with HDMI and good sound system.
The instant streaming works excellent 9/10 times. Quality can suck during peak hours though. There is also a small smattering of HD quality flicks available that look superb even when streamed.
If i had one gripe it's that the instant stream doesn't really have the best picks as far as new releases and current TV. If you don't mind watching backlogged movies / tv then i'd say go for it. Besides that, if you use netflix at all you still get access to their mail-service DVD's.

all i watch is netflix on the xbox. i'd do it on device, bluray, wii, etc. its a much better option than cable hands down.

One advantage that the xbox version has over other boxes (blurry & Internet enabled tv) is that you can browse content other than what you put in your instant que. Other systems i have seen o nay deliver what you have manually put in your que
Disadvantage would be what you not only need a netflix subscription but also an xbox live subscription. If your not into gaming than that would be a draw back.
Xbox also plays nice with network drives and even your Mac, meaning you can stream other downloaded content to it as well. Just not iTunes content.
I love it.

yes. Xbox netflix combo is awesome. Soon (word on the street) Hulu will be on Xbox too.
i have a blue ray player that streams netflix too. the quality is better through xbox (which is hardwired while the blue ray just streams.

I use netflix through my PS3 Player and it's ok. When streaming movies your choices are limited but you can get new Blue Rays in the mail if you want to wait for them.
