It takes a couple of seconds to buffer. I watched 2 movies with zero lag. Both the video and audio is highly compressed, same as Xbox and PC. Movie library is awful.

It's only awful if you only like thehuge new blockbusters.  If you have a sense of adventure, it's great (I still have 300+ movies in my queue and I use Netflix constantly).

That said, I wasn't really happy with the PS3 Netflix, or I guess it's not that I was unhappy, I was just happier with it on the 360.  Standard movies stay in standard on the PS3 which by itself isn't a huge deal, but when I know other methods do it better, I'll go with the other one.

Once I got use to the interface though, I like how it's setup.  The only thing I didn't like was going back in episodes on a season.

You'd rather have the 360 upscale the video than your TV?  Unless your TV is lousy, I can't imagine it's not better at upscaling than the 360.

Agreed, you would probably want to set your source to native resolution and let your TV handle it.  

Regarding the library, I wish the only thing that was missing were the new releases.  I think that people are under the impression that the Netflix streaming solution gives you access to the same Netflix DVD/Blu-ray library, but that's not the case.  Almost all of the movies are several years old, and they weren't good movies when they initially released. 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.
