    Netflix is coming to the PS3 [update]

    Netflix is coming to the PS3 [update]

    by Andrew Yoon { Oct 26th 2009 at 12:19AM }
    So this is why Netflix's stock went soaring. After countless rumors, Netflix's streaming service is finally coming to the PlayStation 3. Even better: it'll be free for PlayStation Network members that have a Netflix account. According to the press release, "Netflix expects to begin streaming via the PS3 system next month at no additional cost to Netflix members in the United States who have a PS3 system."

    It looks like you'll also be able to manage your Netflix streaming queue directly from your PS3; no need to have accessed the site via computer first. It'll be interesting to see how Microsoft responds to the loss of Netflix exclusivity -- perhaps it will open up the service to free Xbox Live Silver accounts? And will Nintendo ever join the fray?

    Update: Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities noted that the Blu-ray disc required for Netflix playback on the PS3 may circumvent exclusivity clauses instituted by Microsoft. "We believe that the exclusive arrangement limits Netflix's ability to appear on the 'dashboard' for the PS3 or the Wii." Additionally, Pachter believes Netflix streaming will expand to Nintendo's console next year. "We anticipate that a similar arrangement will be announced for the Wii in the next 12 months."
    I do believe M$ just got dicked (maybe). I wonder how well this will pan out? Either way I won't really care unless Sony gives the services to Canadians as well unlike M$ where there is so much U.S. onry content.

    It's Sony. They'll find a way to fuck this up.

      I enjoyed my Netflix on my 360 but my biggest issue was the absolute shit movies you could stream. I like old movies and boy there were plenty of them to choose from but if I wanted to watch something more "current" there was absolute manure on the list. I've since switched to BB's mail service but if they would offer some better options with NF I would switch back. The streaming is really nice.

          Signed up for my disc yesterday. I would just use my newly acquired 360 to stream but I don't feel like paying an extra 50 bucks for it a year.
          Thanks Kazuki.

            I already have a Netflix account and an Xbox with a Live account. I can stream movies over my xbox? At currently paid charges?

              Yes, you can stream with Netflix if you have a Netflix account that you get movies with. There's a small install that you have to do and thats it really.
