I believe Netflix has been number one on the PS3 for quite some time now.

What makes the PS3 version more superior? Cause when I used it (granted back in 2011) it was about the same as the 360 version (360 version had a better interface, PS3 loaded a bit faster). The 360 has gotten the auto play feature and if you have Kinect, it is really nice how you can tell it to pause/play/pick your show.


Its not superior, the lay out is different but relatively the same. That and Sony doesn't make it hard to use your Netflix account on PSN which is an incentive for more people to have access to enjoy it.

Yeah the payed vs. free thing has a lot to do with more use on the PS3. I just kept seeing that everyone says the PS3 version is more superior and I wasn't sure why.


Well in the beginning the streaming quality was better on my PS3 version than my 360 version, but they updated the 360 version and it was just fine. They are pretty much the same just different layouts. If you like to rent Blu Rays from Netflix its also a plus because you can use your PS3 for that, so yes you could say there is a slight edge because you dont have to leave the PS3 multimedia hub to get better quality.

This is very true. Regardless of what other people say, I do believe the PS3 is better strictly as a media hub.


Because of the PS3 I dont buy DVD's anymore, just nothing but Blu Rays. A movie has to be old and untouchable on Blu Ray format for me to buy a DVD to upscale on my PS3. First time I saw Zombie Land on my PS3...soooooooooooooo crisp! Its addictive how beautiful it was. Theres always a ton of bonus things in the special edition Blu Rays and even the normal Blu Rays because of how much space it holds. You get the truer experience behind the making of the films.

I actually have some questions regarding Blu-ray. I've only ever watched one movie (300 on a 80 or so inch HDTV) and I remember it not being as amazing as everyone said it would be, I think someone said the grainy look of it made a less apparent difference to the DVD version but I'm not sure if that is the case. Does the quality of Blu-ray vary? Also I recently bought the Hunger Games in HD on Xbox Live and I can't imagine it looking any better than that (It's as good as the best movie theater screen I've seen). Is Blu-ray about the same quality of full HD movies?

 

300 is a bad example for a good blu-ray ;) i know exactly what you mean - to me it looked quite like the upscaled dvd. and yes, quality varies a *lot*. especially old movies make quite a difference if they are postprocessed badly. but aside from that, try avatar or dark knight on bluray and you know what it can do ;)
