Netflix PS3 streaming arrives today

"Last month, Netflix announced that they'd be adding a new piece of hardware to the growing list of gadgets that support Netflix streaming. That device was none other than the PlayStation 3, a suitable choice for growth given that Netflix is already supported on the Xbox 360. The only really surprising aspect of the whole affair was the timeline Netflix put forth, and as of tomorrow many PS3 owners who are also Netflix subscribers will be receiving the installation disc to make this all possible.

If you're a Netflix subscriber and asked for a disc, Netflix has already mailed them out, and will get into most people's hands by tomorrow. The PS3 will then join the Xbox 360, the Roku, TiVo DVRs, some standalone Blu-ray players and of course the PC as devices which can access streaming video through Netflix."

SL1M DADDY5321d ago

I wonder what the benefits over PlayOn will be? Chapter selection is a must!

Cwalat5321d ago

Is this service available in EU regions aswell?

I've heard about Netflix for a while now and i'm interested.

MasFlowKiller5321d ago

sweet, suppose to get mine today
i hope sony steals the party feature from live, i love watching movies with my friends.

Jaces5321d ago (Edited 5321d ago )

EDIT: aha, nevermind I figured it out. :)

Cenobia5321d ago

That doesn't make any sense...

Your friends wouldn't actually be there, and unless you actually like talking during movies it would be completely pointless.

You just want to watch movies for free! J'ACCUSE!

Be sure to do a comparison of how the streaming compares to a real Blu-Ray as well as a DvD being upscaled. I want to know as I'm on the fence about getting Netflixs and this might help me take the leap.

lloyd_wonder5321d ago

Use the Netflix free trial if you're on the fence.

divideby05321d ago

I just hope they give me another free trial...because IV is pretty bad especially if anyone has Cable + DVR = netflix is a waste

starvinbull5321d ago

Some people will still complain that the PS3 can only do everything.

YLOD Service Tech5321d ago (Edited 5321d ago )

Disc swapping coming to a PS3 near you.

Barcefut-095321d ago

Glad i'm so happy N4G has an ignore option :)

nix5321d ago

thank you for beta testing. as always.

AssassinHD5321d ago

We do however get to look forward to a firmware update that will integrate the service. At least we don't have to pay a Live fee just for the privilege of paying Netflix for streaming.

The gaming GOD5321d ago

if you've been 360 gaming, you have NO right to make wisecracks about disc swapping.

Besides, The disc is temporary. There will be streaming without the disc next year. The disc is only to bypass whatever deal they had with Microsoft.

So please, park your fanboyism at the door next time

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.

Goodguy011d 14h ago

The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.
