w00t! i have been very temped to get netflix for quite a while, especially since last year when the 360 got this service. i think this is the straw that breaks me down as long as the service isn't implemented like crap.

does anyone care?

I mean is this even important?

not at all, its not like its being reported all over the place. I would file it under...........not an issue.

Netflix streaming has B-Movie porn. How is that not important?!

Yep I had my Gold membership free trial for a month on my 360 and it was super awesome. I was VERY tempted to pay for live gold for the Netflix alone.

The bluray disk thing is a little weird but I definitely won't mind not paying the extra $50 per year to stream from my PS3. This is awesome, awesome news.

ps3 is clearly the best choice to watch movies on now.

YAY! i knew it was just a matter of time!

Your right, it was only a matter of time. The goal for Netflix is to have this streaming service to ALL the consoles. The CEO of Netflix Reed Hastings said it himself a month ago.

The only problem with your plan is the Watch Instantly movie library is extremely limited.  You will still need to buy/rent newer releases via the PSN store or other outlet.  

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.
