Netflix: It's a terrific hit on 360. Exclusively on 360 "for now".

I for one would love for this to come to other consoles. If this comes to PS3 and/or Wii without the need for an added subscription cost (Looking at you XBox Gold), then surely MS would allow this for no added cost to Silver members no?

Well, the 360 shares 80-90% of its library with the PS3, yet they don't let you play online for free. Why would this be any different?

Unlike the games Netflix already has it's own subscription cost outside of LIVE. I originally figured Netflix wouldn't have any added costs since games like FFXI can be played by Silver members since it already has a subscription cost outside of LIVE.

Unfortunatetly this same policy didn't work when it came to Netflix.  

If people had a PS3 and a 360 for example and would have online mainly for movie watching would they spend the extra $50 a year or just do it for free on a PS3?

I know which answer would be smarter.

 

This has nothing to do with the games.

 

No, but it has everything to do with Microsoft's approach. If they're going to keep something as basic as online multiplayer for Gold members only, then I certainly think they'll do the same with Netflix.
