A Netflix question. Stupid? Perhaps.

Is there any way to set up your preference of format to be "first available"? By that I mean, I have a PS3 and just bought an HD DVD player (Purposely buying into a dying format? Brilliant!). So I have all 3 formats covered, and have adjusted my profile to reflect that, but it seems as though I'm locked into a specific format when I move a film over into my queue.

I want to say there was, as I had the same thing happen. There's not a huge amount of movies that are in both formats, but all of mine that were would come up Blu-Ray first. I assumed that was because I picked Blu-Ray as my first format before HD-DVD.

I was looking for a way, I guess, to have multiple formats of the same movie in my queue. For instance, have Jesse James in both standard and blu ray in my queue, but Blu Ray ranked higher, though if it becomes available in standard first, they would send it.

I'm thinking there is no way to do it.


ETA: Jesus , this is worded poorly.

You probably already know this, so if I'm answering the wrong question, forgive me, but:

In the Your Account --> Format Preferences control panel, you can adjust your format priority:

Your account is enabled for Blu-ray Remove Your account is enabled for HD DVD Remove Order of formats for adding movies to your Queue by default: Change
  1. Blu-ray
  2. HD DVD
  3. DVD
Don't know if this helps.

Edit: No, now that I reread your question, this isn't what you're asking at all.

I don't think it's possible to add multiple instances of the same movie to your queue.

Yeah, you can't. It tells you it's already in queue. I've actually changed a couple of movies to get them to come quicker on regular DVD. When you change the format in your queue, hit refresh, then the available status will change (like "Very Long Wait" to "Now")
