Reviving this thread a bit:
I just started paying for a new feature separate from netflix.
Unblock Us - unblock your favourite video and social websites
It's 5$/month or 50$/year, and basically when netflix tries to identify where you're from I think it gets redirected to an American IP address so you end up with the American Netflix !
I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it's been GREAT! Once you purchase it, you can set up your PS3, desktop/laptop and even your iPad/Android Tablet! (I did it on my ASUS transformer)
