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.

The 360 has a very good upscaler chip. Probably much better than you will find in most HDTVs. That's why upscaler chips are in DVD players, Blu-Ray players, and most other devices since most HDTVs don't have good upscalers themselves.
