I have to question the repeated use of that old and flawed press release to indicate that PS3 is the No.1 Netflix userbase. Any study done a month after the debut of an 'unlimited' movie service will show badly skewed percentages. My Netflix was heavily used for the first few months as I went through the 'best' titles and rewatched stuff I hadn't seen in years. A year later it got about a tenth as much use. Obviously any recent information would tell a different tale as PS3 users will have reached the point of waiting for decent new releases or rewatching Firefly like XBL users. I am not unique.
The Wii comment above is also based on an article from two years ago. Maybe Netflix promotional people like to put out these type of comments to inspire loyalty? Or just to get the company name in black and white. Idk. SD streaming should be experiencing a gradual decline in popularity as well, I'd really like to see Netflix' numbers for 2013.
Pleae stop using a comparison of PS3 usage one month after release with XBL Netflix usage a year later or Wii vs PS360 use from 2011. It's unreliable and irrelevant if not deliberately misleading. My opinion may be skewed by the smaller number of titles available in Canada as opposed to the U.S. That would affect how long the initial period of intense usage would last. The drop-off would be delayed but inevitable.
Thanks to the people encouraging me to buy BluRay and mentioning deals. One thing though, is something like Terminator that was shot in SD decades ago really going to be that much better just because it's on a new format? I'm guessing here but I suspect it would be better but nothing like the visual quality of the newer Batman or Star Trek movies. ??
