VentureBeat reports that Netflix has opened the beta of its Watch Instantly to all of the company's Mac-using subscribers.

For any and all who might be interested (Netflix subscription and Microsoft Silverlight required), here's the opt in form—http://www.netflix.com/silverlightoptin.

That said, there are some caveats:

• It's a beta, so there will be bugs

• It's a Microsoft-powered beta

• Not all Netflix movie titles are available

• No HD playback

• Using your Mac for playback will count as one of the six devices allowable (ie Roku box, Blu-ray players, etc) under Netflix terms

Previously, Watch Instantly for Mac was a closed beta.

Download, Play, Burn MP3s! No DRM. No Restrictions. No Worries.
