Netflix iOS and Android apps have a remote control easter egg for PS3 owners

Now that the revamped Netflix interface has hit phones and tablets for both Apple and Android powered hardware, the service has quietly enabled something else: second screen remote control. Currently the feature is only known to work on the PlayStation 3 with a mobile device on the same local network, once the two apps are running you can browse as normal on your phone or tablet and when you go to play a movie or TV show it asks you to choose where it will play. While the video is playing you can stop, pause or seek through it to a certain point, change the audio or subtitles, choose a different episode or even browse for something entirely different without stopping the action. The YouTube app on PS3 works in a similar fashion after its most recent update. We've got a few screens of the mobile apps at work in the gallery, check after the break for a quick video of it working.

I have been doing this with Youtube on my PS3 lately too. It's pretty cool considering how god damn awful the keyboard is on the app.

waltyftm5034d ago

I have too, and agree with the keyboard.

with the youtube app for ps3 and youtube update on my galaxy s2. I like how i can search for something on my phone and then press the share button and it pops up on the big screen.

Odd that MS doesnt have that kind of feature. then again, they made their app and of course if they would do that it would be for wp7 devises and not so much droid or ios.

That's just a guess.

Bigkurz855034d ago

that's nice. still just wish my ps3 had cross-game chat. :::sigh:::

zgoldenlionz5034d ago

Cool stuff. I'm going to try this out later tonight.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle72d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg74d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k474d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS74d ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6974d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
