you mean you have to swap discs....??? thats soooo last gen

OT

the functionality is exactly the same as far as I have seen.

It's a timed exclusive thing...  joking aside, the disk is temporary, correct?  I thought when certain Netflix/MS contracts expired they were going to drop the disk and put netflix directly on the XMB?



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Around the Network

I've never tried Netflix on my PS3, but since some of the guys are raving over the interface, I may have to request the disc and give it a try.



Well, all you do is put the Netflix disc into the Wii and you can stream movies.

 

ohhh those consoles. well then idk



I don't think there is any difference. On my setup PS3 looks better but that could just be my setup (PS3 is connected via HDMI xbox on component)

lolll...but in reality there's only 1 Netflix disc right so there's no swapping involved.

Truthfully, that one disc bothers me more than any game with 2+ discs.

With a 2+ disc game (Mass Effect 2 for example) I can either just install both discs and never worry about it, or swap it once every, what, 10-15 hours?  That's not a big deal to me.  I still have to insert a disc every time I start the game so whatever.

With the PS3 Netflix disc, I'm annoyed I have to insert a every time I want to watch a movie.  That wouldn't be a big deal to me if I didn't already have an alternative where I never had to insert a disc.

So for me, it's the frequency which is annoying (and I do have to swap discs with whatever was in my PS3 before that ).

Well twesterm you have a point except most people watch multiple tv shows in a row or just watch a movie so you would have to put in a disc anyway so i really don't see how its annoying.
