This is great news especially if NF adds HD streaming to their service in the near future.

Actually, HD streaming is already available. It's extremely limited, but there are options.

With all the comments about Microsoft exclusivity in the gaming forum. I wonder if the Zune 1080p HD video streaming voided that exclusivity, or Microsoft decided that was a better avenue to pursue, especially as it would help Zune gain more market presence.

You can bet there will be a firmware patch(es) for the PS3 to make Netflix run better. Damn Sony software programmers.

Great news for me and a lot of PS3 owners. I cannot wait to try this out. I may just start buying PS3s to use as BD players for all my displays as needed going forward because of this.

The PS3 is sure a safe bet. It has continually been updated with improvements. It is also the all-time best value media player in the history of the world. Chris |

Oh, so that's the catch, and the reason you need the disc.
![]() Well, it's free I guess. We'll have to see how much better this solution is v PlayOn. Last edited by hatt; 10-26-2009 at 07:11 PM. |

Apparently this is how they were able to get around the exclusive agreement with MS on software based Netflix streaming. They are saying a software update will be available to stream without having the disc in the PS3 next year. The speculation is that this allows them to get around that MS exclusive agreement until then by using the BD-Live feature on the PS3 to do it.
I can live with this for free now and wonder if this will be coming out for other BD-Live BD players as well at some point.
