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."

Check your emails. I got mine yesterday.

Can't wait.

SL1M DADDY6051d ago

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

Cwalat6051d ago

Is this service available in EU regions aswell?

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

MasFlowKiller6051d ago

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

Jaces6051d ago (Edited 6051d ago )

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

Cenobia6051d 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!

Poopface the 2nd6051d ago

I use my 360 for streaming alot since I just got netflix recently. Im going to have them send me a ps3 disk too so I can use it if I dont have gold.

cyberwaffles6051d ago

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_wonder6051d ago

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

divideby06051d 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

starvinbull6051d ago

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

YLOD Service Tech6051d ago (Edited 6051d ago )

Disc swapping coming to a PS3 near you.

Barcefut-096051d ago

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

nix6051d ago

thank you for beta testing. as always.

AssassinHD6051d 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 GOD6051d 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

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.

solideagle33d 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

Relientk7733d ago

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

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde40d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy41d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7742d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga42d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199241d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga41d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman41d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger41d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box42d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion41d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7242d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7541d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit41d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14942d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7742d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
