This is my two cents. Netflix uses a M$ technology called 'Microsoft Silverlight' for streaming and I am pretty sure the same or some variant gets used in XBL netflix.
I am pretty positive M$ would never let Netflix use the same tech for PS3 in which case they have to build a new application from the ground up, which will take time.
Also as I read in some other thread, M$ might have a 2 year exclusivity with Netflix for the software solution.
In any case, thanks to the Blu-ray added functionality, Sony and Netflix were able to find a workaround to the problem.
