Apparently the service on PS3 would require a one-time purchase of a $9.99 "Netflix Instant Streaming Disc" that must be inserted to stream video, but would be free otherwise. The survey asks for your favorite console, and then asks if you'd be interested in the service for it; presumably the Wii would be eligible as well.
Actual survey from Netflix:
"Imagine that, as an added benefit to DVDs by mail, Netflix offers its subscribers the ability to watch movies & TV episodes instantly on their TV via their PS3, choosing from a library of over 12,000 choices. There are no advertisements or trailers and movies start in as little as 30 seconds. You can fast-forward, rewind, and pause or watch again. The movies & TV episodes you watch instantly are included in your Netflix membership for no additional service fee.
To take advantage of this Netflix functionality, you will need:
* A Netflix subscription
* A Netflix Instant Streaming Disc (one-time fee of $9.99). This disc must be put into your PS3 whenever you want to instantly watch movies and TV episodes from Netflix over the Internet
* Your PS3 must be connected to the Internet
Netflix offers the following unlimited DVD plus unlimited streaming plans:
* 1 Unlimited: Rent as many DVDs as you want, 1 DVD out at a time, plus an unlimited number of movies & TV episodes that you can watch instantly on your TV via your PS3. $8.99 per month.
* 2 Unlimited: Rent as many DVDs as you want, 2 DVDs out at a time, plus an unlimited number of movies & TV episodes that you can watch instantly on your TV via your PS3. $13.99 per month.
* 3 Unlimited: Rent as many DVDs as you want, 3 DVDs out at a time, plus an unlimited number of movies & TV episodes that you can watch instantly on your TV via your PS3. $16.99 per month."

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.
This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦♂️
I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.
I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also
Also crimson.
As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself
Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp
You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.
And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
Seeing that I am a dual owner I wouldn't need Netflix for the PS3 when I have it for the 360 and I can get BR movies anyway.
If it means having to buy a disc for a service I'm already subscribing to, I'll just keep using PlayOn.
If they're going to do it on the PS3 it needs to be on the XMB.
Wayne Brady is just happy theres another resource for you all to watch Who's Line Is It Anyways. I need the residuals!!
I prefer renting blu-ray movies from my local Blockbuster.
The fanboys wouldn't like it.
Anyway, if this does happen, I don't see myself using it. Cool for those that would, though.
