Attention, PlayStation 3 owners: want to watch a movie streamed instantly from Netflix via your PS3? we got terrific news for you; very soon you'll be able to do just that.
no netflix only has about 12,000 movies and very limted hd movies but its still pretty good ive been using my xbox and its good they have all 5 seasons on the office wich i watch constantly lol
I guess Microsoft must have had a 1 year contract of exclusivity with Netflix.... the amount of things that were heavily touted to be "Xbox Exclusive" this gen. that eventually made their way to the PS3 is just crazy.
I'm calling it right now, next year I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook and Twitter comes to the PS3.
On Topic: I'll personally stick with Blu-ray, but it's good to see that PS3 owners will have even more options for entertainment in addition to the PSN Video store and BD's.
Netflix probably saw how much PS3 units sold in US last month along with how much it sold in three weeks world wide.
NPD September PS3 - 491,800 units sold Worldwide - 1 Million units in three weeks
Netflix dude #1 " Holy Sheit, Look how units they sold!"
Netflix dude #2 "Quick, End our contract with Microsoft, lets get a jump on these new PS3s!!"
Sony's Dark Vader " Muhahaha, its all coming together"
End Dramatic reenactment
In the end, Netflix just is another welcome addition to what is already at a great value, the PS3.
PSN Video Store, Bluray, or Netflix . PS3 = choice. Now PS3 is the most complete entertainment console out there in the market. Well, for those that want to sign up for Netflix, here it is. https://www.netflix.com/NRD...
Welp that's one thing XBL supporters can scratch off of their "con" list for why XBL is superior. Once cross game chat comes, I really want to hear why XBL it's better...and if the answer is "because more people use it" then they're trapped in a corner lol.
and i just got a 360 so i can watch netflix, lol i guess ill keep it for the exclusive DLC wish they made more game for it.
this is a huge victory for sony, when they say "it only does everything" they meant it only does EVERYTHING
Plays Blu Rays Plays DVDs Downloads Movies Via PSN - Watch Movies on Wifi spot with PSP Steam Movies Via PSN
Now Stream Movies Via Netflix & u dont need to play sony to access this service on PSN, i never understood why microsoft is making me pay 50 a year(i know is not just to access netflix) so i can pay netflix another 8 a month, they should make it so that even silver member can access netflix
ohh i almost forgot it plays the highest rated exclusive of 2008 & 2009 and most likely 2010
i wonder if they will do some type of connectivity with the PSP?
Also
This is NOT going to Kill The video store, in the Vidoe store i can see recent episodes from my favorite shows something netflix doesn't have but netflix has a huge back catalog, if i want to watch the last episode of family guy just stream it on PSN or watch the first episode of lost just ill go to netflix, this is a win win, and no sony fee for having my system online
They are no longer just a side attraction for the xbox 360 and now have multiple sources to really take advantage of online distribution.
Now that they got their wish, I hope they work on their product. I want to see more movies that I actually want to watch and regular updates to the movie selection before I buy into netflix for my PS3.
Good for PS3 owners. I was planning on buying a 360 this year for the supposedly superior online, but I dont see a point now. Also with the possibility of Valve jumping on PS3, I no longer see a reason to get a 360 anymore.
No, the video store would not become obsolete. Unless I'm mistaken, you can't buy movies or shows from Netflix but you can through the video store. Granted, it would be just as easy to stream them from Netflix, but you wouldn't be able to keep it.
netflix online does not offer new releases and still has a limited selection. The vid store currently has a much better selection of movies as far as being popular. Netflix online generally offers movies that are somewhat out of the public's eye.
Still Netflix streaming movies has potential of growing.
MEGATON!
